During a recent Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Air Force Gen. Gregory Guillot dropped an alarming piece of information during an exchange with Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC); more than 1,000 drones are flying across the U.S.-Mexico border every month.
Guillot says the incursions are “alarming” and present a “growing” national security threat.
“The number of incursions was something that was alarming to me as I took command last month,” Guillot said in response to a question from Budd.
“I don’t know the actual number – I don’t think anybody does – but it’s in the thousands,” he added. After Budd pressed Guillot, he confirmed thatprobably have over 1,000 a month.”
According to The New York Post, “Mexican cartels have been using drones to track the location of authorities along the US-Mexico border in order to more easily smuggle humans and drugs, according to US Customs and Border Protection officials.”
“Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez told the House Oversight Committee in February of 2023 that in her Texas sector alone, more than 10,000 drone incursions and 25,000 drone sightings had been reported in the last year.”

It’s a lot — and that’s only the ones they know of…
During a hearing on national security last year, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas confirmed that 600,000 “gotaways” escaped into the U.S. in 2023 — and border experts estimate that the number of “gotaways” is actually much higher than what’s being reported.
And let’s not forget FBI Director Christopher Wray’s warning that terrorists are actively trying to invade the U.S. via Bidne’s porous southern border.
“[T]here is a particular network that, where some of the overseas facilitators of the smuggling network have ISIS ties that we’re very concerned about and that we’ve been spending an enormous amount of effort with our partners investigating,” Wray told Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) during a recent Senate hearing.
Illegal migrants are invading the U.S. via sky, land, and sea — what is President Biden doing about it?
