In the last 24 hours approximately 11,000 migrants illegally crossed into the US, marking it the “single highest day in recent memory”, according to a border patrol official as reported by Fox News. Last week over a five day period 50,000 foreign nationals illegally entered the United States. Fox News Bill Melugin, reporting from Eagle Pass, Texas called the situation a “free for all”. He added that migrants enter “with little to no resistance” and all expect admittance into the US. They are not wrong. Melugin claims “very few” are being deported.
The problem is so bad that the Democratic mayor of Eagle Pass declared a state of emergency. Describing the situation, Mayor Salinas stated:
“I’ve never seen people cross like this. Our cops are overwhelmed. Our firefighters are responding to calls for migrants. We don’t have the resources for this. We’ve seen robberies, they’ve broken into homes.”
This fiscal year alone (which ends in a week), a record-breaking 2,388,350 illegals crossed the border, surpassing FY22’s then-record-breaking 2,378,944 crossers. This number does not account for the more than 221,456 foreigners from four continents Biden has let secretly fly into the US the past year to make asylum claims. Or the number of foreign invaders who entered the US, but evaded capture, otherwise known as “gotaways”.
Under Biden, an unprecedented seven million foreign nationals illegally entered the United States. For context, only 13 US states have a population greater than 7 million. Of the 7 million, 1.5 million are “known gotaways”. It is impossible to know how many “unknown gotaways” evaded border patrol. Who are they? Where are they? No one knows. But, we do know it is a statistical certainty that amongst the known and unknown gotaways are violent criminals. There is a reason why they worked to evade border patrol rather than board a bus/plane to the city of their choice to be housed and fed on the US taxpayer dime.
And so much for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Maryorkas’ promise in May, when the Biden administration allowed the expiration of Title 42 (the last remaining Trump-era immigration enforcement tool), that migrants who crossed illegally into the US would be “promptly deported”. Analysis by Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC)- a nonprofit at Syracuse University, found that in just the last 11 months, the Biden administration admitted 1.23 million illegal migrants to pursue dubious asylum claims. Again, this number does not include the known and unknown gotaways.
Yet, the Biden administration still insists the border is secure. They are lying. The border is wide open.
The Border Patrol Union recently tweeted:
“From September 1st through the 20th the Biden administration ordered the release of more than 100,000 illegal border crashers- enough to double the population of cities like Yuma, Arizona”.
Appearing on Fox News, National Border Patrol Council president Brandon Judd stated that:
“When you see them [Biden administartion] lie to the American people , when you see him [Biden] say they are turning people back, that’s a complete lie, and he knows that…He knows darned good and well that we are releasing upwards of 80% of those who cross our borders illegally…as long as we continue do that, these people will continue to come”.
It is not possible for border patrol agents to properly vet anywhere near the upwards of 10,000 migrants who cross daily into the US. They lack both time and resources to ensure the hundreds of thousands who breach the southern border every month are not a threat to our nation. First- there is no international crime database, and second -many migrants come with zero identification.
Migrants often ditch their IDs before crossing the border to conceal their identity. For instance, Venezuela has no diplomatic ties with the US, making it difficult to deport migrants back to Venezuela. Therefore, migrants can game the US asylum system, knowing ID is not required for admittance, by claiming they are from Venezuela when they are not.
Knowing they are almost guaranteed admittance to the US, where they will be provided free housing, food, medical care, legal services, and education, migration from Venezuela to the United States is exploding.
No worries. Biden is addressing the explosion of illegals pouring over the border. On Wednesday, Biden announced he would remove Venezuelans illegally entering the US by way of a third nation, as then-President Trump did. Just kidding. That is what a president who valued their nation’s sovereignty, security, and fiscal health would do- not Biden.
But, Biden did announce that via executive order, he is granting the half a million illegal Venezuelans living in the US expedited works permits and protection from deportation. Shortly after, he extended the same benefits to all illegal Afghans in the US. That will teach future migrants to respect our nation’s sovereignty and not break our nation’s immigration laws, said no one.
In an address to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, after first embarrassingly referring to the group as “The Congressional Black Caucus”, Biden laid out his plan to address the unprecedented catastrophe he created at the border- shocking yet not surprising, not a word about stopping the flow of illegal migrants or enforcing the border.
Biden’s Border Crisis Plan
- Fast track processing at the border
- “Significantly” expand legal pathways for entry
- Implement an “historic increase in the number of refugees admitted from Latin America”
- Provide federal funding to sanctuary cities overrun with illegals
- Accelerate the process of providing work permits for illegals
In other words, Biden’s only concern is to make the process easier for unvetted destitute foreigners to continue to flood over the border. Never mind that illegals are straining public schools and hospitals, posing public health and safety concerns, and exhausting US taxpayer-funded resources.
NYC, with only 110,000 of the millions of migrants Biden has allowed to reside in the US, recently slashed the budgets of all city departments by 5% and warned that city agencies may have to slash up to 15% of their budgets by the spring of next year.
The truth is the border crisis is by design. In the first days of Biden’s presidency, he overturned almost every Trump-era immigration enforcement policy and never mind course-corrected, he and his administration still claim there is no problem- that the border is secure.
If Biden wanted to stop the border crisis, he could take measures to solve it immediately. As quickly as he reversed Trump’s immigration policies (which brought border crossings to a 45-year-low), he could reinstate them. But he will not because he and the radical leftists in his administration want to knock the US down.
For years Democrats disdained America’s greatness and power, claiming we are colonizers founded on exploitation and racism. The sight of the American flag is “triggering” for many on the left. They protest the national anthem by taking a knee, even on the international stage. Schools throughout the country display the Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ flags instead of the American flag. They teach our children that whites are inherently privileged and oppressors and “people of color” are inherently handicapped and oppressed.
The left’s ultimate goal is to level the playing field, even if that means lowering standards and quality of life for Americans. What better way to accomplish their goals than to import millions of unvetted, uneducated, destitute migrants to overwhelm our nation’s fiscal resources and whose children they will teach to hate America and American values?
Not incidental to their objectives, immigrants and people of color overwhelmingly vote for Democrats. If past is prologue, every new immigrant is a likely future Democratic voter. Thanks to birthright citizenship every child born to an illegal in the US will have the right to vote at 18 years old. And there will come a time when Democrats regain full control of Congress giving them the power to grant citizenship to the millions of illegals they allowed into the US.
Our country is heading down a road toward one-party rule. Our nation will be no better than the third world countries many are fleeing. Sadly, for today’s Democratic party, ideology and power always trump the welfare of Americans.
