Biden oversees the worst October at the border in DHS history

Rapid Response

Last night, Customs and Border Protection released border numbers for October, confirming that Biden’s border crisis has reached another historic high.

164,303 illegal immigrants were apprehended in October – the highest total for October EVER recorded by the Department of Homeland Security.

The closer you look, the worse these numbers get:

Under Biden, over 1.6 million illegal immigrants have been apprehended crossing the border.
- Reminder, this number does not include “got-aways,” which are estimated in the hundreds of thousands since Biden took office.
- More illegal immigrants crossed the southern border in just the last three months under Biden than in all of fiscal year 2020 under President Trump.
- Over 1.1 million illegal immigrants have crossed the border just since late April when Biden claimed he had “gotten control” of his border crisis.
  - That's more than any yearly TOTAL since FY 2005 … in just six months.
The Biden administration released more than 17,000 illegal immigrants into the U.S. during October.
That brings the total to over 264,629 illegal immigrants released by Border Patrol into the U.S. under Biden.
In Trump's last full month in office, that number was only 17.
That’s the equivalent of nearly 204 million lethal doses.
That's more than in any month under Trump.
More than 139,000 unaccompanied minors have been apprehended under Biden.
Last month, 899 pounds of fentanyl were seized at the border.
12,807 unaccompanied minors were encountered at the border in October.

These numbers prove Biden’s border crisis continues to rage. But Biden and border czar Kamala Harris are nowhere to be found.
