The Dept of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) waiting until Friday afternoon to drop the latest statistics on illegal alien apprehensions at the U.S. southern border. [DATA HERE] As a current surge is underway, the August apprehension rate was 304,162, the highest of any month so far on record.
[Press release here] Since Joe Biden took office over 7.5 million illegal aliens have been encountered and released into the United States. Of that number 5.18 million were single adult males. This is a wholesale invasion of illegal aliens on a scale never before fathomed. Joe Biden has created this crisis, and it is getting worse.
As an example of the current surge. The city of Eagle Pass, Texas, has a population of 28,000 residents with a total of 58 municipal police officers. Mayor Rolando Salinas of Eagle Pass recently told The New York Post they are bracing for “anywhere between 4,000 to 9,000 migrants” over the next few days.
(NYP) – The tiny city has been besieged by a huge influx of around 11,500 migrants in the last 10 days, a record setting surge.
For comparison, the entire Southern Border set a record when 10,000 people attempted to cross from Mexico in a single day in May.
Salinas signed a new law Wednesday night in anticipation of the influx, making it illegal to trespass in a local park and golf course often used by migrants to enter the city. It will also allow state troopers to arrest migrants who trespass on city property.
“I’ve never seen people cross like this,” said the mayor, who is also a life-long Eagle Pass resident. “If they’re going to come, they must enter through the port of entry. I know people are desperate, but this is a nation of laws.
“Our cops are overwhelmed. Our firefighters are responding to calls for care for migrants. We don’t have the resources to handle this. “We’ve seen robberies, they’ve broken into homes.” (read more)
