Illegal migrants entering the U.S. under President Biden has hit an unbelievable number of more than 10 million.

The Harlander story on the illegal migrant surge also notes that number is more than the population of 41 states.

Here is the breakdown from The Harlander:

Official U.S. Customs and Border Protection data includes 3,201,144 apprehensions in fiscal 2023; 2,766,582 in fiscal 2022; 1,956,519 in fiscal 2021; and 471,954 in the nine months Biden was in office in fiscal 2020.

CBP’s fiscal year is from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30.

Combined, official apprehensions total 8,396,199.

Most concerning is the number of so-called gotaways, which is estimated at an additional 1.7 million under Biden. Gotaways are individuals who entered the U.S. illegally but were not encountered by Border Patrol.

Fox News reports the Border Patrol released over 900,000 migrants into the U.S. in fiscal year 2023.

The risk to public safety goes further than criminal activity and now includes possible terrorists.

The Daily Caller reported Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials in San Diego warned individuals from Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Hezbollah could be entering the U.S. via the southern border.

The open border represents a serious economic and public safety risk to U.S. citizens and Biden is responsible for this crisis.
