The U.S. has already seen 718,000 migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border in the first 100 days of FY 2023, shattering last year's record as President Biden will visit.
The data shows a shocking spike in migration compared to the same period in fiscal year 2022 when the CBP saw roughly 518,000 border encounters in the first quarter.

The most active sector of the border is the area surrounding El Paso, Texas where CBP has recorded 168,000 migrant encounters since October 1. The agency says they have also recorded 78,161 "got aways" in that sector alone over the same period.
