2019 - 1,148,024
2020 - 646,822

Biden
2021 - 1,956,519
2022 - 2,766,582
2023 - 3,201,144
2024 - 4 months in: 988,819

It spiked in 2019, went back down in 2020, and it then doubled and tripled in 2021, 2022 and 2023. 2024 will break those records.

In 2019 Remain in Mexico was introduced as a policy and was fully put into place by DHS & DOJ on July 16th of that year. Soon after it was implemented we saw a sharp decline of illegal border crossings. That’s what happens when you have a president that is actually committed to solving the problem & securing our border. No legislation was necessary.
