These numbers are false. Illegal immigration has not increased by 1000%. Correct numbers are here: [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(12-2-15) Author

There has been a rapid increase in the past few years, but these numbers are deceptive. The years 2017-2020 use the numbers from "U.S. Border Patrol Total Encounters" while the numbers for 2021+ use "Total Enforcement Actions." i.e. Same category 2019 = 1,148,024, not 859,501 [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(20-0-15) Author

The numbers given confuse two different categories. Using the same categories, total border enforcement actions were 536,901 in 2017 and 3,201,144 in 2023. This is approximately a 6x growth, not 10x as the post suggests. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(14-2-13) Author

Re: CN"There has been a rapid increase in the past few years, but these numbers are deceptive." I'd agree to this CN if the word "deceptive" had not been used - "slightly overstated" would be reasonable. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(1-1-4) Author

The migration data refers to fiscal year 2024, which started in October 2023. Not stating this makes 2024 look like a bigger change than it is in reality. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(7-0-1) Author

The attempts at community noting this here are focusing on the numbers for 2024, but the statement in the original post only points out that illegal immigration has increase ten fold from 2017 to 2023. Which is factually correct. No note needed. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(0-0-2) Author

These numbers are fictional. U.S. Customs & Border Protection tracks "encounters" and broadened the definition of "encounters" in March 2020, making any before/after comparisons unreliable. In addition, many "encounters" are legal, resulting from asylum-seekers. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(0-0-0) Author
