“The best we can do is just record the got-aways and move on,” one border patrol agent told Breitbart. “We’re trying to increase patrols but the flow of migrants surrendering is unstoppable.”
Nearly two million migrants were apprehended along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to unofficial data, while at least 500,000 migrants are estimated to have evaded Border Patrol agents and entered the United States in 2021.
This estimate reported by Breitbart is based on previously released official Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) data plus estimates based on first-hand accounts for the month of December. In total, these numbers equal roughly 2.4 million illegal immigrants that entered the United States in the first year of the Biden administration.
Official CBP data, released last month, indicates border patrol agents apprehended exactly 1,773,674 migrants through the first 11 months of 2021. This is a massive increase from the last month of the Trump presidency, in only 7,891 migrants were encountered at the border. In contrast, at its peak in Sept. 2021, 69,697 migrants were encountered at the border.
