Original Note:
The number is not related to unregulated entry, but to apprehensions. Apprehensions means the people crossing illegally are taken into custody, processed and, in most cases, expelled. The high numbers are actually a sign that the border patrol is catching more illegals. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/01/13/monthly-encounters-with-migrants-at-u-s-mexico-border-remain-near-record-highs/
