The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that 240,988 illegal immigrants were encountered at our Southern Border in October, making it the highest total for October in Department of Homeland Security history. This report is further confirmation that Joe Biden’s Far Left open border policies are not working and comes just a month after CBP reported that in Fiscal Year 2023, there were 2.48 million illegal immigrant encounters, the highest annual total ever recorded in a single year.
House Republicans continue to provide critical oversight of President Biden and his Administration, delivering the transparency and accountability that the American people demand and deserve.
