Kamala Harris says she wants to "strengthen our borders." Horse squeeze. The Biden administration, in which she was early on proclaimed as "border czar," has overseen the collapse of our southern border and record numbers of people pouring into the country. Many, if not most, of these illegal immigrants are young, healthy, unattached military-age men, and if that doesn't send a chill up your spine, it should.
The numbers for fiscal year 2024 are out now, and they aren't pretty.
Nearly three million foreign nationals illegally entered or attempted entry into the U.S. in fiscal 2024, according to data published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The total reported nationwide was 2,901,142, with 198,929 reported at the northern border and 2,135,005 reported at the southwest border. The data includes Border Patrol apprehensions between ports of entry, CBP encounters at ports of entry. and Office of Field Operations apprehensions nationwide.
CBP’s fiscal 2024 data, which covers Oct. 1, 2023, through Sept. 1, 2024, is the second highest reported under the Biden-Harris administration and second highest in U.S. history.
