In 2023, there were a record-breaking 3.2 million encounters with illegal immigrants at the US border, marking a significant increase compared to previous years.
The report from the House Committee on Homeland Security highlights the impact of open-border policies under Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and President Joe Biden.

“Encounters at the Southwest border (SWB) in FY2023 increased over 40% since FY 2021, 4% compared to FY2022, and more than 100% compared to FY2019,” the report explains.
The committee said the increase in border encounters in 2023 represents “another unprecedented milestone under Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and President Joe Biden’s open-borders policies.”
“Encounters at the Northern border in September 2023 increased 409% compared to September 2021 and 41% compared to September 2022.”
“In FY 2023, 169 individuals whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist were stopped trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border between ports of entry,” the report stated.
“So far in FY2023, CBP has arrested 35,433 aliens with criminal convictions or outstanding warrants nationwide, including 598 known gang members, 178 of those being MS-13 members,” the fact sheet reads. (Trending: Biden Completely Botches Iconic American Quote)
The report also emphasizes the national security threat posed by mass illegal immigration, including the apprehension of individuals on the terrorist watchlist.
The Biden administration’s handling of immigration has received disapproval from a majority of voters.
“Federal officials estimate they are only able to seize 5-10% of all illegal drugs smuggled across the Southwest border.”
“As this disaster spirals further out of control, the Biden administration does not know how many dangerous illegal aliens are entering the country undetected, especially as Border Patrol agents are being pulled off the front lines to help process and release the historic number of illegal aliens flooding the border,” the press release from the Homeland Security Committee charges.
“Mayorkas simply continues to double down on his mass-parole programs, incentivizing and facilitating the entry of otherwise inadmissible aliens into the United States at a scale never before seen.”
