Original Note:
The graph showing monthly encounters is misleading. Between 1990 and February 2020, the United States border patrol measured "apprehensions" and "expulsions" as separate figures. Beginning in March 2020, they changed their methodology to include both as "encounters." https://www.statista.com/statistics/329256/alien-apprehensions-registered-by-the-us-border-patrol/
