More than 12 million people have illegally crossed the border into the U.S. since 2021, data obtained and analyzed by The Center Square show.
That includes the more than 241,000 apprehensions of illegal border crossers in May. The total number who’ve illegally entered the U.S. nationwide in fiscal 2024 through May is more than 2.2 million, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.
The majority of illegal border crossers are overwhelmingly single adults. In fiscal 2024 through May, they totaled over 1.35 million.
CBP’s fiscal year goes from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30. Under the current administration, each fiscal year breaks a new record for apprehensions and encounters and outnumber U.S. state, city and country populations.
Fiscal year through May totals are potentially on track to surpass last fiscal year’s record of more than 3.2 million apprehensions, the highest on record in U.S. history, according to CBP data. They surpassed more than 2.7 million apprehensions in fiscal 2022, which surpassed more than 1.9 in fiscal 2021. From fiscal 2021 through fiscal 2024 through May, the number of illegal border crossers apprehended or encountered total 10,147,015, according to CBP data.
The official data excludes “gotaways,” the official term used by CBP to describe foreign nationals who illegally enter the U.S. between ports of entry and don’t return to Mexico or Canada. CBP does not publicly report this data. The Center Square first began obtaining it from a Border Patrol agent on condition of anonymity to provide a more accurate picture of monthly illegal crossings.

For example, CBP’s official apprehension data for fiscal 2023 totaled 3.2 million, but when gotaway data obtained by The Center Square was added, the total reached nearly 4 million.
An estimated minimum two million gotaways have illegally entered the country under the Biden administration, The Center Square first reported.
Officially reported internal gotaway data totals are considered by border agents “a best guess” and believed to be underreported by between 10% and 20%, authorities have told The Center Square. They also say they have no idea how many, who or where these gotaways are.

I am glad that illegal immigrants are getting caught. People should enter legally, and should be properly vetted, including asylum seekers.

By the way, what is the Center Square? I have never heard of them. Are they centrist, as their name suggests? I do trust the data though, as it comes straight from the US CBP.

I was disappointed by the absence of Paul Lynde in the thread.

The Center Square is run by the Franklin News Foundation, which is a conservative organization.

Just learned about him. He was part of a 1960s game show, called the Hollywood Squares.

Yeah, I'd like to see the data from 1980 to 2024, or if that is not possible, 2000 to 2024.

Thank you, brother. Thought that with a name of "Center Square", that the organization would be a bit more centrist.

Are we in agreement with the numbers of the data which Center Square presented from that collection of data?

Yes, I am in agreement.

Sure. But it's meaningless without something to compare it too.

Please compare that data with previous illegal immigration data from various previous blocks of 3 years sets of data.

Not much of an analysis, mostly scaremongering about “the illegals”.

Well, here is some Pew Data. Illegal immigration actually peaked at the end of the Bush administration, and has been declining since the late 2000s, and has remained level from 2017-2021. Wish the Pew data went up though 2022 or 2023 at least.

What we know about unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S.

The unauthorized immigrant population in the United States reached 10.5 million in 2021. That was a modest increase over 2019 but nearly identical to 2017.

Assuming that the numbers according to the Pew Research Center are correct up to 2021, then is it also correct to believe the data showing approximately several million more undocumented immigrants have moved into the USA since 2021?

Yep, in fact, Pew has migrant encounter data at the US-Mexico border up through December 2023. During the Obama years, the rates were low, after some spikes during the Clinton and Bush administration, but then the encounters skyrocketed during the middle part of the Trump year in 2019, and then even more during the Biden years. Gotta say it, Bush (R) in 2008 and Obama (D) in the mid-2010s handled immigration pretty well.

Migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border hit a record high at the end of 2023

The U.S. Border Patrol had nearly 250,000 encounters with migrants crossing into the United States from Mexico in December 2023.

These illegal immigrants, I think God is with and for most of them.

I truly doubt that the Lord God endorses open borders and law breaking.
