Greater than 1 million illegal migrants reportedly have evaded authorities while crossing the US border since President Biden has been within the Oval Office.
Customs and Border Protection sources told Fox News border agents have tallied 1.2 million migrants who got away after an illegal crossing since January 2021.
CBP records the variety of migrant encounters on the southern border monthly; it doesn’t compile what number of migrants are on authorities’ radar but aren’t taken into custody.
Since Biden took office, the flow of migrants has jumped drastically.
Federal officials tracked 251,487 illegal entry encounters on the US-Mexican border in December 2022. That figure — a record for highest monthly total — is steeper than the 179,253 in December 2021 or the 73,994 in December 2020, in line with CBP data.
The migrant border surge in December 2022 intensified because the Trump-era policy Title 42 was set to run out — before the Supreme Court kept the policy in place for now. The order allows Border Patrol agents to quickly return migrants to Mexico in an effort to fight the spread of COVID-19.
December’s tally comes after a record-breaking 2022 fiscal 12 months that notched greater than 2.4 million migrants crossing the border. Republicans have sharply criticized Biden’s handling of the border — and introduced articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas this month.

The large migrant influx prompted the Texas border city of El Paso to declare a state of emergency in December — and Mayor Adams has assailed federal leaders for a scarcity of motion to take care of the migrant surge into Latest York City.
The Big Apple has received tens of hundreds of migrants arriving in buses since last 12 months, which Adams said has led to a heavy burden on municipal services. The Democrat visited El Paso last week, every week after Biden made his first trip to the border since he became president.
