4.9 Million Illegal Aliens Crossed US Border in 18 Months Since Biden Took Office: Report

Nearly 5 million illegal immigrants have crossed U.S. borders in the 18 months since President Joe Biden took office, according to a new report.

The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Although July saw a slim decline in CBP encounters at the southwest border of nearly 200,000, it turned out to be the 17th straight month with more than 150,000 encounters, representing a 325 percent increase over the average number of July apprehensions under the Trump
