Migrants

Data about illegal migrant entries is somewhat confused by different counting methods. In January of 2023 the US introduced the CBP (Customs and Border Protection) app which was designed to help process migrants. Those who used the app were not counted as illegals. Since that time about 700,000 have used the app and 96% were allowed entry. In addition the CHNV (Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans) program has flown in 400,000 during this time period that were not counted as illegals. This means that in the last year and one half between these two programs over 60,000 migrants per month have entered the country with legal status. Also not counted are the over 40,000 per month of got a ways. In all this amounts to over 100,000 per month who are not counted as illegal entries.
