A DISASTER ENTIRELY OF BIDEN'S MAKING. The more we learn about the true dimensions of the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, the worse it is. Now, a new report says that in the last few months U.S. authorities have encountered illegal border crossers not just from Mexico, or the Northern Triangle countries, but from 160 nations around the globe. People are coming to Mexico from the most distant spots on the planet in order to cross illegally into the United States, confident that President Joe Biden will let them stay. And Biden is doing just that.
"More than 12,500 Ecuadoreans were encountered in March, up from 3,568 in January," the New York Times reports. "Nearly 4,000 Brazilians and more than 3,500 Venezuelans were intercepted, up from just 300 and 284, respectively, in January. The numbers in coming months are expected to be higher."
And then there are the migrants coming from India and Asia. "Some reported taking buses in their hometowns to a big city, like Mumbai," reporter Miriam Jordan noted, "where they boarded planes to Dubai and then connected through Moscow, Paris and Madrid, finally flying to Mexico City. From there, they embarked on the two-day bus ride to reach the Mexico-U.S. border." Aid workers report seeing migrants from everywhere -- "Arabic, Haitian Creole, Hindi and Portuguese speakers," among many others.
