The past year has seen record-breaking number after record-breaking number from the southwest border as President Joe Biden’s border crisis continues, yet citizens are still waiting for a secure border.
Last week, a new record was set for how many illegal aliens were encountered in one day—14,509. The previous record—12,000—had been set only two weeks previously.
The closing of federal fiscal year 2023 saw another record-breaking tally of 2,475,669 encounters with illegal aliens along the southwest border. However, the previous record was only from the year prior when U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered 2,378,944 illegal border crossers.
In addition to just sheer numbers, the total number of FBI terror watchlist suspects arrested along the southwest border in federal fiscal year 2023 was 169, more than the previous six years combined.
