The Biden administration announces new migrant numbers that set records for both a month and the fiscal year, as the ongoing crisis worsens at the southern border.
Customs and Border Protection on Saturday announced that migrant numbers at the southern border for the month of September had reached new levels with the highest monthly encounters on record as well as the highest fiscal year total on record, in a significant blow to the Biden administration’s border strategy. There were 269,735 migrant encounters in September, of which 218,763 were encountered entering illegally by Border Patrol agents.
Meanwhile, there were 18 encounters of people on the terror watch list between ports of entry at the southern border, taking the total for FY 23 up to 169 — a new record and more than the last six fiscal years combined. In a statement, acting CBP Commissioner Troy Miller said that the agency is surging resources and personnel 'in response to high rates of encounters' at the border.
Numbers dropped sharply after the end of Title 42 in May after record-high daily numbers leading up to it, bucking predictions from Republicans that there would be an explosion in encounters at the border. As numbers remained relatively low through June, the administration pointed to the numbers as a sign that the strategy was working — just as it called on Congress to provide more funding and provide immigration reform to fix what it says is a 'broken' overall system.
