So Joe Biden's illegal immigration crisis is real and it is really, really growing.

Take a look at this graphic from the New York Times website. It's from today about border encounters

in 2023. This is absolutely stunning. I want to go through it in detail because it definitely shows

just how open Joe Biden has left the border. So in 2023, again, this is according to U.S.

Customs and Border Protection. There were 3.1 million

attempted border crossings at the U.S. southern border in 2023. So the question becomes,

one, what's driving that? And two, how many of those people got in? And it's question two,

that answers question one. If lots of people are showing up at the border and lots of people

are getting in, that of course is going to drive more people to the borders. You had

3.1 million people showing up again at the southern border. And here's how this breaks down.

600,000 of those people entered undetected. That is an estimate by CBP. Those would be the

known gotaways. Now, there's a whole category here that is not even on the chart. Those would be the unknown godaways. And we don't really have an idea of how many unknown gotaways there are. The way that we know the known gotaways is because there is camera coverage of large swaths of the American border. But we don't always have Border Patrol agents who are sitting on every single

camera all the time. The way that it works is that you have these border cameras and they are

loaded onto essentially giant pylons, and there are four of them pointed in all directions.

But if you have one Border Patrol agent who's in charge of 20 cameras, there are going to be

some people he doesn't see when they rush into the country. He goes for a bathroom break and suddenly that's when somebody comes through.

According to the people I know at Customs and Border Protection, what you are really looking at

is probably another 400,000 people who have entered undetected minimums.

You're talking about a million people who have entered undetected.

It's in 2023 alone.

Okay, now that still leaves 2.5 million people who have entered undetected. This is in 2023 alone. Okay, now, that still leaves 2.5 million people who had encounters with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Now, the way we tend to think of that, and this is why a lot of this is weasel words. When you think of encounters by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, what you think of is a Border Patrol agent stumbles upon any legal immigrant and tells him to go home. Wrong. That never happens almost ever.

Okay, now you... what you think of is a Border Patrol agent stumbles upon illegal immigrant and tells him to go home.
