Illegal immigrant ‘gotaways’ crossing US-Mexico border number more than half a million, DHS sources say
Average of over 55,000 known gotaways per month? in FY-22, DHS sources say
The U.S.-Mexico border has had more than half a million known "gotaways" sneak across into the U.S. since fiscal year 2022 began on October 1, Fox News has learned.
Multiple senior Department of Homeland Security sources told Fox News of the rising number of known gotaways – illegal immigrants who are spotted crossing the border but are never caught – with three months remaining in FY’22.
That number has already eclipsed the 389,155 known? gotaways that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas previously testified there were in all of FY'21.

Rep. Turner says Mayorkas 'lying' about border: It's a 'significant' national security threat
House Intel Committee Republicans visit border in El Paso, Texas
Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, warned the crisis at the southern border is an ‘absolute’ national security threat after he spoke with FBI and law enforcement officials in El Paso, Texas.
On "America's Newsroom" said there is an ‘unbelievable’ amount of criminal activity occurring across the border despite DHS Director Mayorkas' claim that it is secure.
REP. MIKE TURNER: Just last week, the director of homeland security declared that the border was secure. So three of us from the Intelligence Committee went down to the border.
We met with the FBI, DEA, Texas Public Security Department. And we can tell you, not only is the border not secure, that in fact, the director is just absolutely lying. But it remains a significant national threat to our country.
We saw evidence and spoke to the officers there about the unbelievable amount of criminal activity, drugs being smuggled, humans being smuggled, that people who are crossing the border, many who are coming across the border are not even from the Western Hemisphere, people flying into Mexico and then making it into our border and across the border.
This represents an absolute national security threat.
There have been approximately 900,000 known gotaways since the beginning of FY'21, per the sources, which is equivalent to a population bigger than the city of San Francisco sneaking across the border without apprehension.
The surging numbers at the border come after the Biden administration has repeatedly claimed the border is "closed," "secure" and under "operational control."
After Mayorkas spoke at the Aspen Security Forum on Tuesday and dismissed claims about the border not being secure, multiple border agents pushed back against the administration as they face the overwhelming migrant crisis on the front lines.
"Hundreds of thousands crossing every month is not the definition of secure," one agent told Fox News Digital last week.
"They are liars and anyone who believes them are fools."
