Here are some more graphics made using data that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released late Friday. WOLA’s whole collection of border infographics is at our Border Oversight website.

The tables in the graphic below show the nationalities of migrants who ended up in Border Patrol custody, after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border between ports of entry, between June and August 2023. As the tiny numbers on the right edge show, several nationalities experienced triple-digit percentage increases from June to August (that is, they more than doubled).

All Border Patrol Migrant Encounters at the U.S.-Mexico Border Includes only those encountered between ports of entry. June 2023 Mexico 33,960 Venezuela 12,549 Other 11,485 Honduras 10,660 Guatemala 9,548 Ecuador 4,706 Colombia 3,916 India 2,513 Peru 2,478 Brazil 2,225 China 2,122 El Salvador 2,041 Turkey 493 Cuba 351 Russia 186 Nicaragua 179 July 2023 Mexico 36,002 Honduras 23,091 Guatemala 21,491 Venezuela 11,432 Other 10,930 Ecuador 9,580 Colombia 5,193 China 3,076 El Salvador 3,062 India 2,696 Peru 2,355 Brazil 2,150 Cuba 632 Turkey 465 Nicaragua 272 Russia 104 August 2023 Mexico 39,512 Guatemala 37,204 Honduras 31,747 Venezuela 22,090 Ecuador 13,238 Other 11,572 Colombia 8,036 El Salvador 5,063 Peru 3,042 Brazil 2,692 India 2,567 China 2,361 Cuba 756 Nicaragua 604 Turkey 400 Russia 85

Data table

The tables in the next graphic show the nationalities of migrants who were able to present themselves at U.S.-Mexico border ports of entry between June and August 2023. Most of them—87 percent in June—made appointments using the “CBP One” smartphone app.

Notable here: Haiti is third in August, as 8,687 of its citizens came to ports of entry, but Haiti does not even appear on the Border Patrol graphic above because zero Haitian citizens crossed between the ports of entry in August.
