Border Patrol, CBP and other assorted agencies have encountered a staggering 3.1 million people at the southern border (https://www.fairus.org/legislation/biden-immigration-border-policy/border-security/cbp-posts-record-number-border) of the United States through fiscal year 2023.
People are crossing from all over the globe.
(https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/smugglers-are-steering-migrants-into-the-hot-arizona-desert-posing-new-border-patrol-challenges).
Chinese, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Haitians and of course throngs of South and Central Americans.
62.6% of those crossing are single adults, and overwhelmingly fighting age men. (https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters)
Just 30% are crossing as part of a family unit.
It is once again worth restating that in any given year the US border agencies encounter only 35%-60% of those who cross the Southern border (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0201193), with the average being 43% during any fiscal year.
Most migrants go totally undetected.
With this in mind at least 5.2 million people crossed the US Southern Border in 2023. This figure could be as high as 8.9 million in a low encounter scenario.
And keeping to our average, roughly 7.2 million immigrants will have crossed over the US southern border in fiscal year 2023.
A population of people larger than the populations of Massachusetts or Tennessee.
A population which the American government is legalizing en masse (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/20/nyregion/biden-adams-migrants.html) in order to ensure these migrants are able to live next to and compete with White Americans for jobs, housing and social services.

Dams, bridges, reservoirs, pipelines, highways, railroads, national landmarks, fuels, electric generators: watch out.
Appalling that we “give” freebies to these illegals yet so many of our own citizens are without help.
Any ten of which could cause a 9/11-esque tragedy and wound our country viscerally.
