(The Center Square) – 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. No other administration has reported totals as high as these.
Combined, CBP apprehension/encounter data under the Biden-Harris administration totals 10,553,454 after subtracting the first three months of fiscal 2021, before they took office.
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 CHNV program has been directly linked to violent crimes committed against Americans, The Center Square has reported.
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.
Despite claims made by the Biden-Harris administration that the millions of illegal foreign nationals released into the country are legally in the U.S., the papers they were given by CBP and other DHS agencies state they are unlawfully present in the U.S. and are required to go before a federal immigration judge at a date set years into the future, The Center Square reported. Numerous DHS Office of Inspector General reports have found that DHS and its subagencies are not vetting illegal border crossers before releasing them into the U.S., including those considered high risk being flown nationwide on commercial flights.
Combined, the number of illegal border crossers under the Biden-Harris administration total roughly 14 million.
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA, has said the number is at least 16 million. Others say it is much higher.
Under the Biden-Harris administration, the majority of illegal border crossers reported every month and every year were single adults, according to the data.
The 2.1 million apprehension total CBP reported at the southwest border in fiscal 2024 is significantly higher than the 1.5 million first reported by The Center Square because it includes CBP port of entry and OFO data. The Center Square’s initial report solely cited preliminary Border Patrol apprehensions at the southwest border received exclusively from a Border Patrol agent.
The nearly 199,000 illegal border crossers apprehended at the northern border in fiscal 2024 is the highest under the Biden-Harris administration and the highest in U.S. history. This is after records were broken at the northern border under the Biden-Harris administration of nearly 190,000 in fiscal 2023 and nearly 110,000 in fiscal 2022 – up from 27,180 in fiscal 2021, according to the data.
In 2021, The Center Square first reported on national security threats posed at the northern border, including the greatest number of foreign nationals on the terrorist watchlist consistently apprehended coming from Canada. Both Canadian officials and U.S. officials have sounded the alarm about the lack of operational control at the U.S.-Canada border posing national security threats; members of Congress have called for greater security measures to be implemented and introduced bills to that effect.
Every month and year, in CBP’s busiest northern border sector, Swanton Sector Border Patrol agents apprehend a record number of illegal border crossers. This past fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30, they apprehended foreign nationals from more than 85 countries; total apprehensions outnumbered apprehensions from 13 years combined or roughly 15 U.S. Army battalions, The Center Square reported.
Despite the Biden-Harris administration claiming the number of illegal border crossers is lower than it was under the previous administration, the data the administration published disproves its claims, The Center Square reported.
Keep in mind that the treasonous Democrat Party is encouraging and allowing these multi-Millions of illegal immigrants into our country for political purposes and forcing our U.S. citizens to provide FREE food, clothing, housing, medical, dental, transportation and free college at the cost of $35,000,000,000 ($35 Billion) plus each and every month being forced upon the U.S. taxpayers.
Remember this Democrat Party’s destructive treason when you go to vote!
“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed to an American nation in stolen honor, ignored enforcement of American law, bankrupting of well-intended American social services, resulting in depleted American health, wealth, safety and treasure, by so few criminal minded power-hungry secular political Democrat party politicians as we have seen over the past 3.5 years of Biden/Harris purposely planned over-whelming of American law and legal jurisprudence. We could almost forgive them if it were just a case of bad judgement, but their outright evil mindless malfeasance in governing is so blatant and obvious, and their evil intentions to purposely destroy all our once unitive workable legal institutions and replace them with unworkable divisive democrat party diasporas of demented demonology, that not even the originators of this evil are able to capable define what a true democracy is supposed to look like, having created uncontrollable phalanxes of border jumping fools, and cadres of incoming human corruption. Their failed phony attempts to staunch the streams of incoming human infestations proved as deceptive and failed as their stoppage of the incoming COVID virus, of which they used foreign human invasions to overwhelm the body politic in immigration as the Chinese used COVID to overwhelm our government medical facilities and divide us into two nations,,,,,one fearful, the other fear defying.
AND that’s the ones THEY TOLD US ABOUT.. You can add probably 40% more for the real number.
Despite the Biden-Harris administration claiming the number of illegal border crossers is lower than it was under the previous administration, the data the administration published disproves its claims, The Center Square reported.
Despite the LIES the Biden-Harris administration claiming….
The lies, cons, deceptions, hypocrisy, treachery of this destructive, treasonous Democrat Party cabal and their useful idiot, puppet, self-serving, lying Chameleon Harris know no bounds.
FACTS DON’T matter to their narrative.
Nearly three million foreign nationals illegally entered or attempted entry into the U.S. in fiscal 2024, ”
Seems that they are lying again about the numbers. No estimate of the got aways. So with the estimate from a study by a University, I don’t recall the name of, which was 33 million and the amount of illegals and visa overstayers in the past 4 years. Add in the unknown got aways, the amounts should be nearing 75 million!!!!!
,
Visa overstayers is a BIG MISSED Bunch of those illegally here.. AND YOU KNOW what’s worse, is not ONE POLITICIAN IN the past 20 years has talked about it.
This all about recruiting democrat voters in an effort to create a permanent democrat ruling party in the United States. It’s that simple, and that diabolical. And they are getting away with it.
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.
And then…NOTHING HAPPENED! That sleazy Commie is STILL “on the job”.
Especially those they FLEW INTO THe nation on OUR DIME without any sort of vetting or needing ID…
