Border crisis: Migrant encounters hit record levels at U.S.-Mexico border | LiveNOW from FOX

The border crisis continues. Record numbers of migrant crossings were documented at the southern border, according to CBP. Tuesday set a daily record for migrant encounters, exceeding 12,000 encounters.

Many of the men are from Africa and the families are from Ecuador and Mexico, FOX News Bill Melugin says.

Border patrol says it has over 22,000 migrants in custody, with several major Border Patrol sectors running heavily over capacity. Fiscal Year 2023 hit a new record of 2.4 million migrant encounters, with September hitting the highest monthly total ever recorded, at over 260,000 encounters.
