2023 ended on a record-breaking note as the number of migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border reached an all-time high. According to recent data released by the US Border Patrol, more than 300,000 migrants were processed along the southern border in December alone.
One remarkable incident took place when a plane carrying several hundred migrants arrived in Rockford, Illinois, northwest of Chicago, coming from Texas. This significant influx of migrants has heightened the already tense situation along the border, leading to concerns regarding the capacity of immigration officials to handle the volume of individuals seeking entry into the United States.
