Official data from United States Customs and Border Protection reveals an alarming spike in migrants encountered that are on the terror watchlist. CBP encountered 143 illegal migrants on the watch list in fiscal year 2023 —a significant jump from the 98 encounters in fiscal year 2022.
Only 6 were reported in 2021 and 3 in 2020; it’s getting worse.
From The Daily Wire:
Meanwhile, a recent report from Border Patrol revealed that there’s been a 1,000% increase in illegal immigration into the United States from various different foreign countries, including China, Afghanistan, Algeria, Vietnam, Ethiopia, and others.
The sharp increase comes as illegal immigration has accelerated more broadly under the Biden administration, with an estimated 1.5 million gotaways reported since Biden took office in 2021. The figure dwarfs the total 415,000 estimated gotaways under the Trump administration in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
American citizens living on the Texas-Mexico border told The Daily Wire that illegal immigrants have crossed their properties at alarming rates since the Biden administration, with some even surrounding the homes of ranchers or trying to lure young girls out of their home late at night.
Estimates have found that illegal immigration costs American taxpayers approximately $151 billion every year, with significant strain being placed on the healthcare system, especially in Texas, Florida, and Arizona.
A recent CBS poll found 63% of Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of the border, while only 37% said that they approve.
