Washington:
Number of aliens encountered illegally entering our country, and The USA President Joe Biden has made the history with the highest number of this case, said Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) showing related numeric records on Saturday.
FAIR stated, "The release of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) nationwide encounters for September, FY 2023, shattered the Biden's record set just last year for the number of immigrants encountered illegally entering the United States. At the same time, September set the single-month record for border encounters breaking the previous record set in August."
Yet, despite these staggering numbers, the Biden administration goes on to insist that the borders are secure and the American public has no reason to be worried.
The statement was issued by Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), in response to the release of Customs and Border Protection border encounters data for September of this year:
"In total, there were 341,392 illegal aliens encountered in September, the highest monthly tally on record. Breaking down the numbers further, the number of migrants encountered crossing the southwest border illegally numbered 269,735 – an increase of nearly 40,000 over August. Encounters of family units jumped to 141,306, while the number of unaccompanied children stood at 13,809. These totals do not include 'gotaways,' which have averaged more than 50,000 per month during the first 32 months of the Biden rule.
"September also closed the books on FY 2023. Total encounters for the year were 3,201,144, an increase of nearly 500,000 over the previous year and a nearly fivefold climb over FY 2020, the last full year of the Trump administration. This exponential increase in illegal immigration makes it clear that it is the open-borders policies of the Biden administration that are driving this national crisis.
"The events of the past two weeks draw into even sharper focus just how dangerous our unsecured borders are. This month's Hamas attacks against Israel, and threats of 'global jihad' issued by the armed organization and their overlords in Tehran, mean that the open-borders policies of the Biden administration have placed the American public at greater risk than at any time since 9/11."
Congress step in and retake its plenary control over immigration policy. America must reverse the administration's open-borders policies, end the humanitarian crisis it has created, secure the borders, and focus its attention on finding and removing people who have entered the United States without authority's permission.
