Biden sets record with high number of illegal aliens in December
President Biden’s Border Crisis Reaches Record High
Last month, the border crisis under President Joe Biden reached unprecedented levels, as revealed by newly released data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Federal agents encountered a staggering 302,034 illegal aliens, surpassing the previous record set by Biden himself in September 2023 when 269,735 illegal aliens were encountered. Shockingly, at least 19 of those arrested were on the terrorist watchlist.
The Biden administration deliberately chose to release this information late on a Friday evening, clearly attempting to bury the news and avoid public scrutiny.
BREAKING: In Friday news dump, CBP officially reports 302,034 migrant encounters in December, the highest month ever recorded. CBP also reports Border Patrol arrested 19 people on the FBI terror watchlist in December, bringing the total to 50 arrests for fiscal year 2024 so far.

The situation at the U.S. southern border has deteriorated so significantly under Biden that the number of illegal aliens encountered in December is nearly equal to the total number of arrests made at the border throughout the entire 2017 fiscal year, when 303,916 illegal aliens were apprehended by federal officials.
The number of illegal aliens encountered last month is comparable to, or even larger than, the population of several major U.S. cities, including Orlando, Newark, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Spokane, Irving, Lubbock, and more.
Former Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf responded to these historic border numbers by stating that they provide clear evidence of Biden intentionally causing the crisis.
“Today’s historical border numbers confirm what we already know,” he wrote. “The Biden Admin is not using existing authority to secure the border. This continues to be a crisis by design, overwhelming Border Patrol and overrunning American communities.”
As the crisis worsens, Biden is actively fighting against Texas Governor Greg Abbott in court, seeking to prevent him from taking action to stop what is increasingly being referred to as an “invasion” into his state.

House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed his full support for Republicans’ efforts to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, which could potentially begin as early as next week.
“Our border is wide open and the Biden administration is to blame,” Johnson said. “I fully support @HomelandGOP’s impeachment efforts and I look forward to seeing Secretary Mayorkas held accountable for this catastrophe.”
What are the consequences of the border crisis, and why is comprehensive immigration reform necessary to address the underlying issues and prioritize both national security and humanitarian concerns
On at the border has been a topic of great concern since President Biden took office. Despite his promises to handle the situation effectively and humanely, the latest data from CBP proves otherwise. The border crisis has now reached a record high, surpassing even the previous record set by Biden himself just a few months ago.
In the month of December, CBP encountered a shocking 302,034 illegal aliens attempting to cross the border. This number is not only alarming but also disheartening, as it demonstrates a failure on the part of the administration to effectively address the issue. It is worth noting that among those arrested, at least 19 individuals were on the terrorist watchlist. This revelation is deeply concerning and poses a significant threat to national security.
What is even more troubling is the timing of the release of this information. The Biden administration deliberately chose to disclose this data late on a Friday evening, a common practice to bury news and avoid public scrutiny. Such an approach raises questions about the administration’s transparency and willingness to address the issue head-on.
The consequences of this border crisis are far-reaching. It puts a strain on law enforcement agencies, overwhelms border facilities, and places an immense burden on border communities. Moreover, it undermines the integrity of the immigration system and sends a message to individuals around the world that the United States is unable to effectively enforce its immigration laws.
This crisis highlights the urgent need for comprehensive immigration reform. It is clear that the current system is not equipped to handle the influx of illegal immigrants. The Biden administration must work with Congress to find practical solutions that prioritize national security while also addressing the humanitarian aspect of the issue.
It is crucial for the administration to allocate resources, enhance border security measures, and collaborate with neighboring countries to effectively tackle the underlying causes of illegal immigration. Additionally, efforts should be focused on addressing the root causes of migration, such as poverty, violence, and lack of economic opportunities in source countries.
While the Biden administration has acknowledged the border crisis, it is important for them to take swift and decisive action to mitigate its impact. Public trust and confidence in the government’s ability to address this issue are at stake. Failure to act promptly will only exacerbate the problem and hinder any progress towards a comprehensive and sustainable solution.
The record high numbers of illegal aliens encountered at the border in December serve as a wake-up call for the Biden administration. It is a reminder that the border crisis cannot be ignored or downplayed. The safety and security of the American people should always be the top priority, and effective border management is a fundamental aspect of achieving this goal.
As the situation on the border continues to escalate, it is crucial for both the administration and Congress to work together to find meaningful and lasting solutions to address the root causes of this crisis. The American people deserve a transparent and effective approach to border security, one that upholds the values and principles of our great nation.
