Due to gravitational interactions with large trans-neptunian objects (TNOs) several percent of TNOs can change their semimajor axes by more that 1 AU during last 4 Gyr. Now about 30000 1-km former TNOs can be Jupiter crossers and about 20% of Earth-crossing objects can be former TNOs which now move in Jupiter-crossing orbits.
