Jenkins: “And this won’t come as welcome news to the White House, but CBP sources confirmed to Fox News just moments ago that the total number of migrant encounters this fiscal year 2023 have surpassed last year’s record-breaking numbers. Take a look here. You see so far this fiscal year — and there’s eight days left in this fiscal year — 2,388,350+ compared to that 2,378,000 from last year that shattered the records, more than 10,000 and you’re getting upwards of 9,000 a day. Let’s take a look at the video we saw yesterday all day long here at ground zero across the entire southwest border. Sources telling Fox News there are more than 9,900 encounters yesterday, just part of why agents here are telling us off camera it’s showing no signs of slowing down.”
