Over one million migrants have been apprehended illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border during the first six months of Fiscal Year 2024, according to Border Patrol data.
The number is just slightly lower than the same period last year, which saw 1,057,000 apprehensions, and just slightly behind the pace of FY 2022 which saw a total of over 2.2 million apprehensions.
The highest number of crossings occurred in the Tucson Sector, which recorded 301,000 apprehensions — a 167 percent increase over the first six months of FY 2023. The San Diego Sector recorded a 76 percent increase, with roughly 153,000 apprehensions.
Although the second-highest number of apprehensions occurred in the Del Rio Sector, the area saw a 6 percent decrease from last year. The El Paso Sector saw a decrease of 47 percent, with 121,000 apprehensions. The numbers reflect the efficacy of Texas’s efforts to secure its part of the border in the face of continued opposition from the Biden government.
The staggering number of apprehensions at the southern border in the first half of FY 2024 reflects the Biden government’s continued failure to address the border crisis. The regimes mishandling of the crisis has become so acute that nearly half of U.S. voters now rank immigration as their top concern.
