There is an old quote reportedly said by deceased Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, “The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic.” It is uncertain if he ever said those words, but the sentiment has been repeatedly proven true — even when not dealing with fatalities.
For example, more than one million illegal alien encounters have been recorded since October 2022. The alarming numbers, unfortunately, have become commonplace under President Joe Biden. Still, Americans shouldn’t allow themselves to become so desensitized to the invasion at America’s border that the figures become a “statistic.”
According to data from Customs and Border Protection released on Friday, the total number of illegal alien encounters at the U.S. border for fiscal year 2023 — which began in October — was 1,008,217.
