Peru: Citizens of Peru fleeing violence and economic turmoil are usually able to fly to Mexico, which does not require visas of visiting Peruvians. (Mexico, Chile, Colombia, and Peru have a visa-free travel arrangement under the “Pacific Alliance” structure.) The U.S. government ran 10 expulsion or removal flights to Peru between August and October 2022.

Ecuador: Migrants from Ecuador began arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border in significant numbers for the first time in 2021. Most were flying into Mexico, which did not require visas of visiting Ecuadorian citizens at the time. In September 2021, at strong U.S. suggestion, Mexico imposed a visa requirement on Ecuadorians. Migration from Ecuador dropped, but has been steadily recovering as thousands of migrants per month braved Panama’s dangerous Darién Gap jungles, traveling overland all the way to the U.S. border. Since August 2022, Ecuador has been the number-two country of citizenship of migrants passing through the Darién region; their numbers more than tripled from September to October, to 8,487. During fiscal year 2022, 5 percent of Ecuadorian migrants were expelled under Title 42; the U.S. government ran 20 removal flights to the country over the past 12 months.

Haiti: Many if not most Haitian citizens who arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border left Haiti years ago, then lived and worked for several years in Brazil, Chile, or elsewhere in South America. 2021 saw a large-scale migration of Haitians through the Darién Gap (Haiti was the number-one country in the Darién that year), culminating in the notorious September Border Patrol “agents on horseback” incident in Del Rio, Texas. The Biden administration carried out an aggressive campaign of aerial Title 42 expulsions of Haitians back to the island, with 240 flights removing nearly 25,000 Haitians since September 2021.
Since June 2022, though, Haitian protection-seeking migration at the border has been quite orderly. Over these five months, a system of humanitarian exemptions from Title 42 has meant that 96 percent of encountered Haitians were allowed to approach ports of entry, and just 0.5 percent were expelled under Title 42. There was just one removal flight to Haiti between September and October.

El Salvador: Mexico accepts Title 42 expulsions of Salvadoran citizens across the land border, and U.S. authorities expelled 58 percent of Salvadorans encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2022. 17 percent of Salvadoran migrants encountered in 2022 were unaccompanied children. 69 percent of Salvadoran migrants were encountered in Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley sector, in south Texas, in 2022.
Though Title 42 made requesting asylum virtually impossible for citizens of El Salvador, migration from El Salvador declined just 2 percent from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2022. This is a smaller decline than those experienced among citizens of Guatemala or Honduras—the two other countries whose citizens’ expulsions Mexico has consistently accepted. Further research is needed to determine whether the steadiness of Salvadoran migration is related to the Bukele government’s sweeping crackdown on young people suspected of gang membership. This crackdown has resulted in over 57,000 arrests since late March in a country of 6.5 million people, and could be causing more people to flee despite Title 42.

Russia: Encounters with migrants from Putin’s Russia exceeded 200 in April 2021, 1,000 in September 2021, and 2,000 in December 2021. The 3,879 encounters in October 2022 appear to be a new record. More than 75 percent of Russian migrants are encountered in and around San Diego, California, where most come to the San Ysidro port of entry. At times, they seek to drive over the borderline in rented cars.

India: Encounters with migrants from India exceeded 1,000 in December 2021 and 2,000 in May 2022. 90 percent of Indian citizens are encountered by Border Patrol agents in Arizona and southeast California. Many are fleeing persecution from India’s nationalist government, Quartz reported in October.

Brazil: Migrants from Brazil encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border increased to unprecedented levels in 2021. Most were flying into Mexico, which did not require visas of visiting Brazilian citizens at the time. In December 2021, at strong U.S. suggestion, Mexico imposed a visa requirement on Brazilians. Migration from Brazil dropped, but recovered to more than 4,000 per month between May and August 2022. Very few of these mid-2022 Brazilian migrants passed through Panama’s Darién Gap jungles: Panama recorded just 2,062 Brazilian migrants during the first 10 months of 2022.
In September and October 2022, the number of Brazilian migrants encountered at the border fell sharply, falling below 1,000 per month for the first time since February 2021. It is not clear why that has happened. 77 percent of Brazilian migrants encountered in 2022 were members of family units.

Border Patrol has been encountering the vast majority in and around San Diego, California and Yuma, Arizona. 78 percent of Romanian migrants encountered in 2022 were members of family units.

FAIR REPORT-- December 2023 Sets Historic Record of I*****l I*********n

January 29, 2024



Of the more than 371,000 aliens encountered, 302,034 were encountered at our southern border. Of those, nearly 250,000 were arrested between ports of entry by Border Patrol.
December statistics also showed that the number of unaccompanied alien children continues at crisis levels. In December, 13,527 unaccompanied minors were encountered, most of whom were t***sferred to Health and Human Services to be placed with sponsors throughout the United States.
Even more alarming, the vast majority of the i*****l a***ns who are encountered are being released into the United States. Earlier this month, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who is facing impeachment by the House of Representatives starting Tuesday, publicly acknowledged that more than 70 percent are released into the United States. Later, he privately admitted to Border Patrol agents that more than 85 percent of those encountered at the southern border are being released.
According to Customs and Border Patrol, approximately 45,770 aliens were processed and paroled into the country using the CBP One App in December 2023. Since the App became operational in January 2023, about 413,000 aliens have scheduled appointments to appear at a port of entry at the southern border and seek parole (which ultimately allows an alien to obtain a work permit and a path to citizenship).
In addition, through the end of December, 327,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans flew into the U.S. under the unlawful parole process put in place by Secretary Mayorkas.
As the numbers continue to spike, Secretary Mayorkas faces possible impeachment as the House Homeland Security Committee prepares to v**e on Articles of Impeachment this week. Unless Congress acts decisively to remove Secretary Mayorkas from office and force the Biden administration to secure our borders, these unsustainable levels of i*****l i*********n will continue through 2024.
7.2M i******s entered the US under Biden admin, an amount greater than population of 36 states
The total number of i*****l i*******ts who have entered the US under President Biden is larger than almost every American city
By Chris Pandolfo Fox News

That figure comes from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which has already reported 961,537 border encounters in the current fiscal year, which runs from October through September. If the current pace of i*****l i*********n does not slow down, fiscal year 2024 will break last year's record of 2,475,669 southwest border encounters — a number that by itself exceeds the population of New Mexico, a border state.
The total number of southwest land border encounters since Biden assumed office in 2021 is 7,298,486, CBP data shows.
