Border officials to encounter 10 million migrants under Biden by September

A senior House Republican expects the number of migrants encountered by federal border authorities under the Biden administration to reach 10 million by the end of this summer, a number that has never been seen in even two-term presidential administrations.

Approximately a quarter of a million migrants were encountered at the nation’s borders in April, bringing the total since Feb. 1, 2021, several days after President Joe Biden took office, to 9.57 million.

Encounters, which include non-U.S. citizens who either enter the country illegally or are deemed inadmissible at a port of entry, have remained between 192,000 and 371,000 per month since March 2021, according to Customs and Border Protection data.

In the decade leading up to the Biden administration, encounters ranged from 40,000 to 80,000 per month.
