Unlawful border crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border have dropped to a four-year low, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, with 46,610 people stopped between ports of entry in November.
The number of illegal crossings that month marked an 18% decrease from the previous month, and the lowest level since July 2020, the agency said.
“Our enhanced enforcement efforts, combined with executive actions and coordination with Mexico and Central American countries in recent months, are having a sustained, meaningful impact,” said Troy A. Miller, the acting head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Between June and November, the Department of Homeland Security removed more than 240,000 people, according to the agency. In fiscal year 2024, the department also removed more than 700,000 from the country, more than any prior year since 2010.
The numbers represent something of a turnaround for the Biden administration, which faced major political backlash for a surge in illegal crossings earlier in Biden’s term. Trump slammed Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for the increases.
Immigration experts attribute the drop in border encounters — people stopped trying to cross in areas between ports of entry — to multiple factors, including what they said is the current administration’s “carrot-and-stick” approach.
Under the Biden administration, officials have encouraged migrants to turn themselves in at ports of entry, launching an app to make appointments as they travel through Mexico. It has also discouraged illegal entries between ports of entry, by making those who attempt to enter the country in that manner ineligible for asylum.

Oh, only 46 thousand.
Someone picked that number thinking we would be happy with it.
New Orleans. Tell me about ‘lows.’ Shills
This doesn’t include those who applied for entry at a bonafide port of entry and were “temporarily” admitted to the USA. In a sane America, these folks would have been denied entry.
And, like Department of Labor monthly employment figures, these numbers are likely incorrect.
They weren’t “unlawful “ once Joe and Mayorkas invited them in
Uhhhhh...yyyeahhh. Just one question, Chief. How many got across at a NOT-a-port-of- entry?
