(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In a situation going from really bad to much, much worse, America’s illegal alien invasion stimulated by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris has just set a devastating record as, for the first time in the nation’s history, there were more than 12,000 registered daily crossings of the Southern Border.
On Tuesday, the southern border of the United States experienced an unprecedented number of illegal alien encounters, setting a new record for the highest number encountered in a single day, Fox News reports.
This event is part of the ongoing migrant crisis affecting various cities at the border and across the nation.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources informed Fox that there were over 12,000 migrant encounters on that day.
More than 10,200 of those were encounters by Border Patrol with illegal migrants crossing between official ports of entry.
This figure from Border Patrol is one of the highest ever recorded for the agency alone, but it sets a new record when combined with encounters by CBP’s Office of Field Operations at the ports of entry.
As of Wednesday morning, CBP was holding over 22,000 migrants in custody, with several major Border Patrol sectors operating well beyond their capacity limits, according to the sources.
The fiscal year 2023 has seen a record-breaking 2.4 million migrant encounters, with September marking the highest monthly total ever recorded at over 260,000 encounters.
While slightly lower, October recorded over 240,000 encounters, setting a record for that month.
The Tucson Sector in Arizona has been particularly overwhelmed in recent weeks, facing an influx of migrants from diverse regions, including Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
This sector recorded nearly 3,000 encounters in a single day and a weekly total of 17,500 encounters, the highest ever recorded for any week.
The Del Rio Sector in Texas, known for its high-traffic area of Eagle Pass, experienced over 3,300 illegal crossings in that sector alone.
Fox reporters on the ground in Lukeville, Arizona, observed adult migrants waiting to be processed by overburdened Border Patrol agents.
Many of these migrants expressed their aspiration to reach cities like New York City, which has reported being overwhelmed by the influx.
Cities impacted by the crisis are pressing the Biden administration for $5 billion in aid, significantly more than the $1.5 billion the White House has requested from Congress.
