Fox News reported that Biden administration officials privately informed lawmakers of the fact that more than 670,000 illegal migrants will evade Border Patrol in fiscal 2023.

Fox News revealed that Department of Homeland Security officials had told Arizona’s congressional delegation, the House and Senate Judiciary Committees and the House Homeland Security and House Homeland Security Committees that approximately 670,000 “gotaways” were known to have crossed the border during FY2023.

The outlet was told by sources that the group lawmakers were told that about 5,000 illegals enter the country each day and are then released to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) who help them reach their destination.

At the same rate of release, 1.8 millions illegal immigrants would enter the U.S. in a single year.

This week, the record of daily Border Patrol encounters with migrants was broken. Over 12,000 migrants were encountered in one day.

“That follows a record-breaking 2.4 million encounters during FY23, and a monthly high of more than 260,000 in the month of September. Fox reported that officials said there were over 440,000 encounters in the first month of the new fiscal, Oct. 1.

The report revealed that, “an average 1,600 migrants were processed and released each day via humanitarian parole under the CBP One App” at the ports of entry.

Members of Congress were informed that migrants come from over 150 different countries.

One DHS official said that the “safety of noncitizens”, who are riding illegal trains, is a concern.

Sources said that they had “no specifics” about how to stop migrants from boarding trains.
