Exclusive: At least 1.5 million illegal southwest border crossers reported in FY24 | National
SUMMARY: Preliminary data indicates that at least 1,525,210 foreign nationals illegally crossed the Southwest U.S. border in fiscal 2024, excluding various data categories that suggest the total may be higher. In three Democratic-led western states, apprehensions reached nearly 1 million, significantly overshadowed by Texas‘s 530,640. Texas represents a major entry point but has seen a shift in illegal activity due to enhanced border security efforts. Critics argue that the Biden administration’s parole programs have improperly allowed over 1.3 million inadmissibles into the U.S. while misrepresenting the overall illegal entry situation. Official data will be released later this month.
