In September, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recorded more than 260,000 illegal immigrant crossings at the southern border, marking an all-time high in a single month.

The record-setting figure is the highest monthly number ever reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), officials told Fox News. The second-highest number recorded was last December when CBP reported 252,320 migrant encounters along the southern border.
