Biden-Harris have let in at the very least 4 million of these, counting the minimum estimate of gotaways who have overwhelmed the ridiculous system and the known parolees. The largest standing army in the world is China's at 2 million.
Nearly three million foreign nationals illegally entered or attempted entry into the U.S. in fiscal 2024, according to data published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The total reported nationwide was 2,901,142, with 198,929 reported at the northern border and 2,135,005 reported at the southwest border.
The data includes Border Patrol apprehensions between ports of entry, CBP encounters at ports of entry, and Office of Field Operations apprehensions nationwide.
CBP’s fiscal 2024 data, which covers Oct. 1, 2023, through Sept. 1, 2024, is the second highest reported under the Biden-Harris administration and second highest in U.S. history.
The highest total reported in U.S. history was more than 3.2 million in fiscal 2023, followed by fiscal 2024, fiscal 2022’s more than 2.76 million and fiscal 2021’s 1.95 million.
When subtracting the first three months of fiscal 2021, which occurred during the Trump administration, the number drops to 1,684,116.
No other administration has reported totals as high as these.
Combined, CBP apprehension/encounter data under the Biden-Harris administration totals 10,552,984.
This total excludes more than 2 million who illegally entered and evaded capture, known as gotaways.
CBP does not publicly report gotaway data.
The Center Square first reported gotaway data in 2021 after receiving it from a Border Patrol agent.
Retired CBP officials say the number is higher because gotaway data is underreported by about 20%.
The total also excludes 1,383,000 inadmissables released into the U.S. through two parole programs created by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
This includes more than 852,000 illegal foreign nationals processed and released into the country through the CBP One App and more than 531,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans deemed inadmissible and released into the country through the CHNV parole program, according to CBP data. ...
The parole total also excludes the number of illegal foreign
nationals released into the country through at least another 10 programs
Mayorkas created. Federal judges ruled the parole programs are illegal;
House Republicans cited them as examples of illegal actions for which they impeached Mayorkas in February. ...
Under the Biden-Harris administration, a record 518,524 illegal border crossers were reported at the northern border, excluding gotaways, the highest in U.S. history.
