What the record shows
CBP Southwest Border Apprehensions data shows approximately 10.4 million apprehensions during the Biden administration (Jan 2021–Jan 2025). No credible source documents 25 million illegal entries.
CBP apprehension data does not support a 25 million figure; the actual number is less than half that claimed.
