PEOPLE & SOCIETY • IMMIGRATION & BORDER SECURITY
That is not a monthly figure. That’s the entire fiscal year — October through September… twelve full months of southwest border apprehensions. Under the Biden administration, you were looking at an annual average north of 1.8 million. FY2023 topped 2 million. So the whole of 2026 came in below a single busy month from three years ago — the highest Biden-era month hit 249,740. A 95% drop, and the first full fiscal year in Border Patrol history with zero releases into the interior.
Elon Musk is on record predicting this new opportunity is set to be 180 times bigger than the SpaceX IPO.
That IPO minted 4,400 millionaires overnight.
If this is 180 times bigger…
Just imagine how many more Americans will become millionaires.
Will you be one of them?
In FY2023, Border Patrol recorded this many apprehensions roughly every three weeks — this year, it took all twelve months to get there.
