US encounters record illegal migrant influx – media


Officials reportedly documented thousands of daily migrant encounters at the US-Mexico border in September

More illegal immigrants than ever are pouring into the US via its border with Mexico, according to data from the Department of Homeland Security, cited by the Washington Free Beacon this week. The documents appear to show that last month was the worst September in history for migrant crossings. Between 7,300 and 7,500 migrants crossed the border every day during the month, according to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

The preliminary numbers from CBP indicate between 219,000 and 225,000 migrants crossed the border from Mexico in September, according to the Washington Free Beacon. Either figure would break last year’s standing record of 192,000 illegal crossings.

“These record-breaking numbers we're seeing at the border have become the new normal,” a senior DHS official told the Washington Free Beacon on Friday, questioning how much further the situation would be allowed to deteriorate before action was taken.
