The Biden Effect: Illegal Crossers Top 200,000 for 2nd Straight Month – NOW OVER 1.3 MILLION For The Year; Encounters Have Increased 317% Over Last August
The number of illegal border crossers that were encountered on the southern border has officially topped 200,000 for the second straight month. We have now had a whopping total of 1,322,657 over the first 8 months of the year.
After a record breaking 212,000 illegal aliens tallied in July, Border Patrol agents recorded another 208,887 encounters in August. Almost half – 49% – of the encounters were single adult males, who were, once again, the largest demographic in the group.
The data was obtained by Fox News through an exclusive source at DHS because the monthly federal report – typically available within a week-plus from the start of the month – has not been updated as of yet.
