Two Million ‘Encounters’ at Southern Border in the Past 11 Months is a New All-Time Record

President Joe Biden’s administration has weakened our border security so much I honestly do not know how we can ever fix it.

For the first time ever, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents “encountered” over 2,000,000 at the southern border in a fiscal year: “CBP Nationwide Total Encounters for FY22TD through August stand at 2,493,723, for the Southwest Border alone that number stands at 2,150,244.”

We still have one more month to go, too.

This does not count the gotaways. It counts the 203,598 encounters with the border patrol in August.

The people aren’t just from Mexico. The August stats from CPB confirms another blog I wrote about people from countries such as Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela using our lax border security to enter our country.

“Failing communist regimes in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba are driving a new wave of migration across the Western Hemisphere, including the recent increase in encounters at the southwest U.S. border,” stated CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus. “Our dedicated teams of skilled agents continue to work around the clock to secure our border and safely and humanely process and vet every individual encountered, but those fleeing repressive regimes pose significant challenges for processing and removal.

Magnus had to say something nice about the Biden administration: “At the same time, the number of migrants entering from Mexico and northern Central America has decreased for the third consecutive month, as the Biden-Harris Administration works with our partners in the region to address the root causes of migration, facilitate repatriation, and take thousands of smugglers off the streets. More individuals encountered at the border without a legal basis to remain will be expelled or removed this year than any prior year.”

Bill Melugin consistently tweets videos and stats of people he witnesses crossing the border without any problems.
