(Worthy News) – Border authorities nabbed 233,740 illegal immigrants at the southern border in November, setting a new record for that month and underscoring the chaos of the situation even before the end of the Title 42 pandemic border expulsion policy.
Homeland Security announced the numbers in a holiday weekend Friday evening data dump.

US border officials report record number of migrant encounters in November; majority not from Mexico
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said the agency saw 233,740 encounters along the southwest border, a 1% increase from October. At least 16% of the migrants encountered had at least one prior encounter in the past year, the agency said.
Nearly 67,000 of those encountered were processed for expulsion under Title 42.
“Individuals from Mexico and northern Central America accounted for just 30% of unique encounters in November, a significant drop from the 53% they represented a year ago, as more migrants arrive from a variety of other countries, including Cuba and Nicaragua,” said CBP Acting Commissioner Troy Miller.
