2015: 337,117
2016: 415,816
2017: 310,531
2018: 404,142
2019: 859,501
2020: 405,036
2021: 1,956,519
2022: 2,766,582
2023: 3,201,144 These numbers reflect attempts to cross, not necessarily successful entries, and include repeat attempts. Only a fraction add to the resident unauthorized population annually due to removals, voluntary departures, and deaths
