Biden's 4.7 million Illegal encounters
That is close to the highest number seen over the past century and is indicative of the border disaster President Joe Biden has overseen and that has dragged down his approval ratings.
During Biden's tenure, 4.7 million illegal alien encounters have been reported (table). Numbers do not include the undetected crossings. Data released Friday afternoon by U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows that federal law enforcement officials encountered 2,766,582 illegal aliens during the fiscal year ending September. 328% higher than the 646,822 reported in 2020.
These are the highest numbers seen over the past century and is indicative of the border disaster President Joe Biden has overseen and that has dragged down his approval ratings.
In 2019, a year in which both Democrats and Republicans declared a "crisis" at the southern border, 1,148,024 people were taken into custody.

Illegal immigration to the U.S., the extent of which cannot be fully known because of how many evade federal police and get away, has risen at a faster rate in the first nine months of President Joe Biden's tenure than any time in the Border Patrol’s 97-year history.
