It’s a moving target.
This stat is interesting though.
Quote:
Between October 2019 and June 2024, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported just under 11 million border encounters nationwide. That’s roughly equivalent to the current population of North Carolina, the ninth most populous state.
Monthly encounters peaked with over 370,000 people in December 2023. That month, CBP encountered nearly 12,000 people at the border every day. That's more than eight people every minute.
December 2023 encounters were approximately 70% of the total encounters in 2017 (which was around 527,000).

So one month in 2023 was 70% of the entire of 2017

Add into that, that no one really knows the true number, but it’s almost certainly more, not less.
