Original Note:
The September numbers have not been released yet, and even when they are, they represent encounters, not purely illegal immigrants https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters However that number would be shocking as for context illegal immigration has been falling overall https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2023/08/01/illegal-immigration-gets-less-attention-when-it-falls/?sh=24ac945e6750 https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/unlawful-southern-border-entries-70-record-highs-end/story?id=99868336 https://apnews.com/article/biden-border-crossings-immigration-asylum-bb54c40fa51931df02ceaca055c7797d https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/26/us/politics/immigration-illegal-border-crossings.html
