The number of migrants that got into the country by crossing the southern border illegally in fiscal 2023 surpassed the populations in eleven different U.S. states, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of federal data.
The number of migrants that entered the country in fiscal year 2023 via the southern border and were either released or known to have evaded law enforcement surpassed 1.5 million, which is greater than the populations in these eleven U.S. states: Wyoming (581,381), Vermont (647,064), Alaska (733,583), North Dakota (779,261), South Dakota (909,824) , Delaware (1,018,396), Rhode Island (1,093,734), Montana (1,112, 867), Maine (1,385,340), New Hampshire (1,395,231) and Hawaii (1,440,196), according to the DCNF’s review of the data.
The Border Patrol released 908,669 illegal immigrants who crossed the southern border in fiscal 2023 on humanitarian grounds, according to the data.
In addition, there were more than 600,000 migrants known to have snuck into the country without apprehension, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee during a hearing Tuesday.
“The phenomenon of gotaways is something that has been a challenge for the Department of Homeland Security for decades,” Mayorkas told Republican Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall during Tuesday’s hearing.
The number of Border Patrol encounters of migrants crossing the southern border illegally in fiscal year 2023 hit 2,045,838, according to federal data.
For comparison, Border Patrol encounters of illegal migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border also surpassed 2 million in fiscal year 2022, with roughly 300,000 humanitarian releases into the country, according to federal data. That year, the Biden administration was using Title 42, a public health order, to immediately expel certain illegal migrants to Mexico.
The use of Title 42 ended May 11.
In 2021, Border Patrol encounters of illegal migrants at the southern border hit roughly 1.6 million and humanitarian releases hit roughly 262,000, according to federal data.
While almost half of all illegal migrants encountered by Border Patrol at the southern border in fiscal year 2023 were released, the Biden administration was pledging “consequences for migrants coming illegally without any basis to stay in the country.”
Many of those illegal aliens are members of hamas, hezbollah and the muslim brotherhood.
Will the neo marxists who are pro hamas/palistine on Americas campuses take up arms with the jihadis when they initiate their mass casualty events?
Because there’s no wall.
The border was secure. Trump had the border the most secure it had ever been. The progress made was phenomenal and all it took was leadership. Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden intentionally destroyed the border security and stopped construction of the wall. He even had holes cut in the wall to allow for as much illegal intrusion as possible. If that’s not an impeachable offence, impeachment might as well be eliminated; there is no purpose for it. Both Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden and that worthless c**t Mayorkas need to be impeached and then prosecuted for the resultant crimes committed by the criminals they invited in.
