Meanwhile, Illegal Alien Encounters Hit 2 Million in One Year for First Time as Biden Border Crisis Rages


Mike Miller reporting for RedState 

Let’s be clear from the outset: President Joe Biden is responsible — intentionally so — for the Southern Border crisis that he and he alone created, which continues to pose a direct threat to the American people. 

Despite the preposterous lies from “Border Czar” Kamala Harris about a “secure” border, and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s ridiculous insistence that the border is “closed,” hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens continue to stream into America, many of them apprehended, processed, and released into the country — while untold numbers are undetected. Already inundated border towns. long drained of resources, be damned.

Moreover, record shipments of deadly fentanyl continue to flow across the border, as well.

While the Mexican drug cartels continue to exploit the unsecured border and Biden and the Democrats continue to lie, falsely believing the legal Hispanic community supports the unsecured border, millions of Americans continue to pay the terrible price.

As the crisis continues with no end in sight, Fox News national corresponded Bill Melugin reported on illegal alien encounters surpassing the two million mark in a single year for the first time.

BREAKING: It’s official. For the first time, migrant encounters at the border have surpassed two million in one year.

CBP reports there were 203,598 migrant encounters at the border in August, bringing the total for FY’22 to 2,150,370, and there is still one month left to go.

Meanwhile, Biden continues to fiddle.

As we said about Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, it didn’t have to be this way.

While Southern Border security under Donald Trump was a mixed bag — despite Trump’s protestations to the contrary — his plan to force Mexico to stem the flow of illegals into the U.S. was largely effective.

By contrast, Biden’s intentional illegal alien disaster, including planeloads of untold numbers of illegals shipped across the country in the dead of night, constitutes a clear and present danger to America’s security and that of the American people — millions and millions of deadly doses of fentanyl included.

Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) announced Monday that there were 199,976 migrant encounters in July, taking the total for this fiscal year to 1.946 million encounters. But CBP sources tell Fox that since then, the number has now surpassed the two million mark, a milestone previously unhit. 2021, the previous record-setting year, saw more than 1.7 million encounters. Clearly, the reality is dire and it continues to worsen.

Kamala Harris and Karine Jean-Pierre were unavailable for comment.

Speaking of the twin serial liars, not even NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd buys Kamala Harris’s “secure border lie.” And Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who doesn’t suffer fools gladly, dropped a truth MOAB on Jean-Pierre after she delusionally claimed the fiery Texan doesn’t “truly care about border security.”

And Joe Biden? He likely has no idea what the hell is going on as he continues to lie.

God help us.
