Statistics from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) show that in December 2020—the final month of President Donald Trump’s presidency—the USBP allowed 17 foreign nationals to enter the country.
The USBP released 191,142 aliens into the United States in December 2023, the most recent month for which statistics are available under Biden.
Put another way, during the last month of Trump’s presidency, the USBP released 0.009 percent more aliens into the country than it did during the previous month of Biden.
That is, 11,244 more aliens were released under Biden than under Trump. That’s a flash flood, not a typical increase.
According to estimates from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Biden administration allowed a total of 2 million foreign nationals to enter the country in fiscal year (FY) 2023.
Additionally, the CBO estimates that there were 750,000 “got-aways,” or people who crossed the border but escaped capture.
This provides a general idea of what is causing this crisis: for every three individuals who were caught crossing the border but managed to escape, there were eight—almost three times as many—who were apprehended in between ports of entry or found to be inadmissible there but were nevertheless allowed to enter the country illegally.
