Nearly 7.3 million migrants have illegally crossed the southwest border under President Biden’s watch, a number greater than the population of 36 individual states, a Fox News analysis finds.
That figure comes from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which has already reported 961,537 border encounters in the current fiscal year, which runs from October through September. If the current pace of illegal immigration does not slow down, fiscal year 2024 will break last year’s record of 2,475,669 southwest border encounters — a number that by itself exceeds the population of New Mexico, a border state.
The total number of southwest land border encounters since Biden assumed office in 2021 is 7,298,486, CBP data shows.
That is larger than the population of 36 U.S. states, including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Compared to the largest U.S. states, the 7.3 million number is about 18.7% of California’s population of 39 million, 23.9% of the state of Texas and its 31 million residents, 32.3% of the population of Florida and 37.3% of New York. It’s more than half the size of Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio.
Were the number of illegal immigrants who entered the United States under President Biden gathered together to found a city, it would be the second-largest city in America after New York. And the total does not include an estimated additional 1.8 million known “gotaways” who evaded law enforcement, which would make it bigger than New York.
Taken together, nearly 10 million migrants have crossed into the U.S. illegally during the Biden administration, a record Biden’s critics assert could only be achieved by intentionally refusing to enforce the law.

“This unprecedented surge in illegal immigration isn’t an accident. It is the result of deliberate policy choices by the Biden administration,” said Eric Ruark, Director of Research for Numbers USA, a nonprofit that advocates for immigration restrictions.
The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment.
Republicans and anti-illegal immigration activists have for years blamed Biden for allowing the current overwhelming surge of migrants by reversing former President Donald Trump’s border policies. The Biden administration has denied responsibility for the crisis and pointed to external “push” factors like violence and economic instability in South and Central America as the culprit responsible for vast waves of migration to the U.S.
However, the president’s critics say migrants face more of a “pull” factor in the form of job opportunities and government benefits because they know they will not face deportation under Biden’s lenient policies.
“The administration has refused to enforce existing immigration law and taken every opportunity to aid and abet illegal border crossings — through policies such as catch-and-release, mass parole, and offering temporary work permits to tens of thousands of foreigners who make dubious claims for asylum,” Ruark told Fox News Digital. “In actual effect, the United States government is completing the human smuggling and trafficking process for the Mexican cartels.”
Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), said migrants have learned in the last three years that they won’t face deportation for entering the country illegally.
“They have sent the signal that if you come to the U.S. illegally, if you abuse the asylum system, you’ll be released into the country and allowed to remain here, in most cases given work authorization,” Mehlman said. “Even if you neglect to show up for your hearings, the odds of you being removed are negligible. The president claims he doesn’t have the authority to enforce our laws. He absolutely does. He is deliberately not enforcing those laws.”
Biden has called on Congress to pass new laws he claims would let him solve the border crisis. He endorsed a bipartisan deal in the Senate that included an “emergency border authority” to mandate Title 42-style expulsions of migrants when migration levels exceed 5,000 a day over a seven-day rolling average. It would have also limited the window for people to apply for asylum, provided immediate work permits for asylum seekers and funded a massive increase in staffing at the border and more immigration judges.
But conservatives tanked the deal in the Senate after House Republicans declared it a non-starter. They argued the bill would have normalized record-high levels of illegal immigration and said Biden currently has all the authority he needs to reenact Trump’s policies and secure the border.
While the debate rages, House Republicans have impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for allegedly refusing to enforce immigration laws. Two impeachment articles advanced against Mayorkas accused him of having “refused to comply with Federal immigration laws” and violating the “public trust.”
DHS has criticized the effort as politically motivated and insisted the Biden administration is enforcing the laws on the books.
Biden said that “history will not look kindly on House Republicans for their blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable public servant in order to play petty political games.”

I’ve seen 20 million in 3.1 yrs. This seems about right. That works out at 760 per hour, and this covers all methods of entry, not just the the Mexican border, although this is the biggest entry point.
If you read the fake news reports, then 20 million is believable.
7.2 million is not believable. We whine about 300k to 600k coming into the UK, but it’s nothing compared to some EU states, I mean, you’d be nuts to come to this shit hole.
But forget all that and go see Jason Statham’s new flick, THE BEEKEEPER. For some reason set in the USA, it’s actually filmed entirely in the UK…
The wife and I laughed through the whole thing. There are guys tagged as FBI, SECRET SERVICE, CIA, etc… but NONE OF THEM ARE WHITE! All the men who would have been white in the old days are black, Mexican, Asian.
But have no fear. Jason is white. And the baddies are all white too (including Jeremy Irons, a man who’s played lots of baddies in a long career).
Jason is fun as always. Gunfire, blood, and real cool stunts. Check it out.
STOP THE GENOCIDE MESSAGE PROJECTED ONTO BIG BEN
A ‘genocide’ message was projected onto Londons Big Ben and a huge crowd cheered as it went up
Police later arrested several people singing the British soldiers wartime song
” beware beware the dirty jew ”
Andrew Percy, a Tory former minister who is Jewish, said: ‘For months I’ve been standing up here talking about the people on our streets demanding ‘ a cease fire’, demanding peace, demanding this and that, as the police stand by and allow that to happen.
‘A genocidal call of ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ was projected on to this building. That message says no Jew is welcome in the state of palestine or anywhere in that land. This is going to continue happening because we’re not dealing with it.’
Percy, a Tory former minister and alcoholic who is Jewish, said: its time we dealt with all this and got it stopped, i am now going for a drink
Get your ethnicity right….Biden and his wife ARE NOT “WHITES”…they may seem like it….but they ain’t!.
The best easily available evidence is Jill Bidens maiden name JACOB.
The appearance of the drug taking son is another reliable indicator.
So make no mistake,the flooding of Western democracies is very definitely a jewish “enterprise…..of course,it goes without saying that one of the chief funders of all this a a jew….Soros.
Now the race is on…..will the jew be stopped BEFORE the collapse of the West becomes inevitable??.
Nice to know that we are “warned” about our displacement, during and after it happening. When Right-wingers gave warnings in the earlier Twentieth Century they were strongly condemned for mentioning it
fox news. right. biden is not responsible because of “external push factors like violence and economic instability in South and Central America”. except they’re all africans arent they?
and even if youre dumb enough to believe it, that would hardly explain the invasion of europe now would it?
LOL…
Every one of them issued with a ‘credit card’…which of course keeps the fiat churn moving via ‘investment’..and every one of them allows the Yangee junta to extend ITS credit line.. from you to the you know hooz….
This is what that morbidly obese imbecile at the BIS was chunnering on about between extended bouts of gorging himself…because the LLC’s masquerading as your nations have put you and everything you think you own down as collateral for the last two hundred years… including moving the rest of the worlds toxic assets into your neighborhoods..
Thus the holders of the ahem.debt..the Gnomes in Zurich who have been busy shitting out legalese to justify seizing everything under the sun, will soon be claiming their dividend…this is called the ‘Great Reset’…notice how every time they are looking to fuck you right royal it’s Great…
What did you expect to happen? For the past 100+ years, the Jews & Christians via their governance of these ‘western nations’ intentionally increased the nonwhite population of the world (via western medicine/aid into Africa/Asia/Latin America) to later direct their invasion/conquest of the West. The world’s population in 1931 was 1.5 billion. How much of that was nonwhite? About a billion. Now there’s 7-8 billion of these simians/wogs thanks to Jewish-Christian humanitarian ethics.
Jew ghoul in 2006 book ‘A Brief History of the Future’ discloses prearranged Jew-Commie-Christian plan to implode the West:
“Ever more numerous masses will hurl themselves at the gates of the West. They already number hundreds of thousands every month; that figure will increase to millions, then tens of millions. The US will then start disintegrating, with violence & chaos ensuing. It will not be tomorrow’s Africa that will one day resemble today’s West, but the whole West that could tomorrow evoke today’s Africa.” –Jacques Attali
And to think millions of white Allied idiots won WWII for these Jewish ghouls, Commies & nutjobs. You get what you fight for & they fought for Jews, sh*t & ni*gers.
So how’s that obliterating Nazi Germany working out for you white man?
Illegals with privilege? I wonder if Gemini AI portrays them as all white. THIS is the ‘real’ war, and not a single ‘nuclear’ weapon will be engaged.
“We are presently in the ‘Camp of the Saints’ phase of Whiteocide. After that, the ‘Planet of the Apes’ comes.” –Nico X
Maybe no single image more than that top one shows just how the US is becoming third-world India. The poor parts, anyway, now that India’s nice places are starting to look better than nice America.
so with all illegales in Trumps + Obamas times
there are probably at least 10 million .
If you think about it this way it all makes sense. The jews want a one world communist government with them in charge. Our constitution and boarders are in their way. Just as is every other countries sovereignty. That’s what this is all about..
It’s funny how Aliester Crowley’s image was included in the ‘group photo’ on the beatles’ Dr. Pepper album but not Adolph Hitler’s image-they were too nervous about that. Very telling.
Carl Jones…most likely a crypto jew.
He appears to be giving Jason Stratham the all clear.
Let’s get one thing clear…Stratham is a jew and an obvious one (as is his blonde wife/model)….Jeremy Irons is also a crypto jew/Marrano.(take note of the appearance of the blonde slut on Countdown…few would identify her as a jewess,but she sure as hell is.The woman who checks the spelling is also a jewess.Infact most of the contestants are Jews.The frizzy haired guy is half Nigerian/half Norwegian…his mother is jewish.
One of the panelists is a short little prick….he is not in the least bit humorous but somehow retains his job,meaning he has contacts in the Jewish hierarchy. )
Obviously you don’t take anything said by Jones seriously.
Why is the editor allowing someone to mimic someone else? Well, there’s only one explanation. The Editor doesn’t give a crap about the truth, or running his own website in a respectful fashion.
I would also suggest the editor or his helpers, are Joo, Zionist, Nazi supporters.
It is tiresome to call everyone in the Conspiracy a Jew: they are the spearhead of it but they have tons of White Race traitors at their disposal
