It has been reported that border patrol agents have apprehended close to two million migrants that have crossed the border illegally this year.

August was the fifth month in a row that exceeded 180,000 apprehensions of migrants. That number is expected to grow as there is still a month left in the fiscal year.

So far, the nearly two-million migrants represent a 20-percent increase from the entirety of the year before. At the time, the prior year broke the record for most crossings in a single whole fiscal year with 1.6 million migrants.
