We are working to make the border more secure. That has been a historic challenge.

The number of migrants encountered in fiscal year 2022 has already surpassed the 1,734,686 encountered in fiscal year 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/stats\/southwest-land-border-encounters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according<\/a> to U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is work to be done.
