Yesterday, we highlighted how experts warned illegal encounters at the border would total more than 2 million by the end of the fiscal year in September … today, we learned illegal immigrant encounters already passed 2 million over the weekend.
BREAKING: CBP sources say migrant encounters this FY22 so far surpassed 2,001,034 - a NEW RECORD set this past weekend and a milestone never before seen in history - this compared to last year's record setting numbers which were 1,277,177 at this point in FY21 @CBP @FoxNews

This is the first fiscal year on record illegal encounters have passed 2 million, and there is still a month and a half to go. Last year set the previous record for illegal crossings, and so far this year’s pace is 56% HIGHER. For reference, 2 million is almost equal to the population of Houston and larger than the population of 14 states.
And that does not even include the more than 800,000 “gotaways” who have escaped into the U.S. since Biden took office. If only Democrats like Catherine Cortez Masto and Mark Kelly had voted for 87,000 Border Patrol agents to secure the border instead of 87,000 IRS enforcers to target you and your small business…
