The comments on this are going to get very interesting.

My brain does not like seeing a vertical sankey = it just doesn’t gel as well as the traditional horizontal one.

“We have an underfunded immigration apparatus that is swaddled in bureaucracy, complicated beyond imagination, bound by decades-old international agreements, paralyzed by divisive politics and barely functional under the best of circumstances,” write Steven Rattner and Maureen White.
“Now we face the terrible consequences. In fiscal year 2023 alone (from October 2022 to September 2023), the United States had two and a half million “encounters” along its 2,000-mile border with Mexico, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. That is over two and a half times the number just four years ago, overwhelming the ability of governmental bodies — border patrol, immigration courts, human services agencies — to manage the flow,” they say.
This diagram doesn’t match the title. The title claims “where immigrants ended up”. But some immigrants who ended up somewhere in 2023 will have come from the “in ongoing proceedings” in previous years.
(Also, due to the mismatch, people will misread this chart into thinking that this is the net change in number of immigrants, which it isn’t.)

So, this seems to show border crossing at the US southern border. The word “immigrants” in the title is confusing.

600k + 870k + 1.8M = 3.27M? Where’s the extra 100k get to?
That is about 0.7% of the population of the US if you add estimated undetected and legal entrants pending proceedings.
Edit: changed it from 0.6 to 0.7 bc I remembered us pop wrong originally
I’m interested to find out how many of the “undetected” are actually let in by border agents payed off by cartels/coyotes
Relief granted means allowed to stay?
Probably should specify this is undocumented immigrants to the U.S., there’s other types of immigrants and other places people immigrate to.
Border bill that Trump shut down would have
– improved processing time for that unprocessed chunk
– increased requirements for asylum
– increased control to reject those with criminal history
– and allowed for the government to shut down the border completely during huge rushes of people.
