CRISIS AT OUR SOUTHERN BORDER

[catfish1957]

White House claimed people aren’t illegally ‘walking’ across border; footage shows the opposite

In fairness to the Affirmative Action Press Secretary, that's not the quite the same thing as what she's quoted as actually saying:

"It is not that simple. It’s not just that people are walking across the border," she said. "We have a plan in place."

The "just" qualifier allows just enough wiggle room around the truth.  She "just" thinks she's being an artful liar.

Saw the clip, and sheer fact the whole place didn't bust out laughing just shows how much cover the MSM is giving these POS.

President Biden ‘does not care’ that his border policies victimize children, argues Rep. Beth Van Duyne

During an interview on "Sunday Morning Futures," Sunday, Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, condemned President Biden for his perilous border policies, arguing that the administration will continue to be dismissive until supporters of the Democratic Party acknowledge the problem.

REP. BETH VAN DUYNE: I mean, they're saying, 'We don't care' to the human traffickers that are coming over, to the sex traffickers that are coming over. They're saying they 'don't care' to the people who are coming through Mexico, who are being raped on a daily basis. They don't care. They don't even bother to go down there and see it. They don't bother to discuss what are the plans to be able to stop it. It's not until people who have supported the Democratic Party, like Mayor Lightfoot in Chicago, start speaking about it, that they will actually even address it. ...................

Cartels Brazenly Post ‘Help Wanted’ Ads to Recruit Human Traffickers

A one-way airline ticket from Mexico City to Dallas, TX costs as little as $129.  But the cartels charge as much as $15,000 to smuggle an illegal immigrant into the U.S. For the Mexican cartels, it’s “a billion dollar industry that rivals the profitability of trafficking illegal drugs,” according to the Border Report.

The cartels have President Biden to thank for this largess; his “come one, come all” campaign message to illegal migrants resonated so well that it gave them yet another mega-source of income.

The year before Mr. Biden’s election, the border patrol caught 487 illegal migrants at the border. In his first year as president, more than 3,200 migrants were apprehended and their numbers have skyrocketed ever since. So far in the current fiscal year — with two months to go — a staggering 2.75 million migrants, including any number of so-called “gotaways,” have been clocked seeking to cross the Mexican border.  The cartels use a growing number of them to smuggle narcotics. They are also using the surge of migrants to smuggle individuals seeking covert entry for whatever reason if they have enough cash.

Business has been so good that they are posting “help wanted” ads on social media looking for Americans “in desperate circumstances” to provide transportation once they cross the border.

Michael Salinas, a former Border Patrol agent, says the cartels use YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and TikTok to enlist people who want to make a dishonest buck, according to a report by The Daily Signal. “All the social media platforms are being used to recruit these folks. And it’s not always just the young kids, it’s just folks that want to make a quick buck.” But, he said, “They tend to recruit a lot of the younger crowd, because they know that the young kids are going to avoid prosecution [when caught], regardless of whether they have aliens or if they have narcotics as juveniles.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says that “videos encouraging” young volunteers “to participate in human smuggling across the southern border are highly concerning. With the issuance of Civil Investigative Demands, my office is currently combing through TikTok company policies and getting to the bottom of what is happening in these social media posts,” according to the Washington Examiner.

Sheriff Brad Coe in Kinney County, TX told the Examiner that the cartel recruitment technique is simple but compelling. One ad just said, “Anyone looking to make easy money, contact us. [All you have to do is] Go to south Texas to pick up some people. We’ll give you $1,000 a head … We’ve had kids from broken homes with mom working two jobs and dads in jail. The lure of easy money is what does it. They get anywhere from $500 to $2,000 a head. The cartels will give them an address and say, ‘Pull up here and honk your horn twice’.”

According to the Department of Homeland Security, “Individuals seeking covert entry into the United States know they need to pay an organization for transport. Smuggling organizations, often associated with other transnational criminal organizations and able to take advantage of people in desperate circumstances, provide that transportation at a significant cost.”............

Highest Number in US History: Border Patrol Logs 8,000 Migrants Entering US Each Day

Immigration authorities are reporting the highest-ever daily number of migrants entering the United States along the southwest border, according to internal Department of Homeland Security communications reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

Border Patrol officers are logging roughly 8,000 migrant encounters a day, the highest daily number in U.S. history, the communications show. Such a massive surge in migrants has left agencies such as Customs and Border Protection scrambling to implement new processing systems.

The record number of migrant encounters highlights the little progress the Biden administration has made in solving the border crisis. The news comes as the White House blamed former president Donald Trump for the crisis earlier this week, accusing the previous administration of leaving President Joe Biden with a "broken" immigration system. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended the president and claimed the Biden administration is taking "unprecedented action" at the southern border. Those actions, according to the White House, include new border technology and anti-smuggling task forces.

But the results of those actions are unclear. A spokeswoman for CBP did not dispute the migrant encounter numbers. In a statement to the Free Beacon, the spokeswoman said that "the traffic we are seeing this year is similar to the pattern we saw at this time last year." Border Patrol logged an average of roughly 7,700 migrant encounters a day nationwide last September, previously the highest number ever recorded.

Monthly migrant encounters, according to public CBP data, are already higher in the 2022 fiscal year than in any previous year. Border Patrol typically sees an uptick in migrant encounters during the fall and winter because of favorable weather conditions.

"Either the Biden administration is uninformed or they’re lying," a senior DHS official told the Free Beacon. "We cannot process the numbers flooding our borders and the administration’s solution is scrambling for ways to let people in faster."

Immigration authorities have already logged two million border encounters this fiscal year, a record high. The previous record holder was the 2021 fiscal year, which saw just under two million migrant encounters.

Vice President Kamala Harris claimed the "border is secure" earlier this month, prompting outrage from both Republicans and Democrats. Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) called Harris "dead wrong."

"For … the vice president, or anybody [to] say our borders are secured, that is not accurate. I've been there," Manchin told Fox News. "It's wrong."

Texas governor Greg Abbott (R.) has for months been busing migrants to Democrat-run cities, such as Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.C. Mayors in those cities have attacked the move as "inhumane" and asked the federal government for aid.

Critics of the Biden administration point to policy changes that are responsible for the crisis. Among those include DHS termination of the Migrant Protection Protocols program, which forced asylum seekers to remain in Mexico until their asylum court date. That program, proponents argue, discouraged potential migrants from entering the United States.

Other policies include a shift away from prioritizing the deportation of illegal immigrants. The Free Beacon last year reported on deportations plummeting by 90 percent under the Biden administration, meaning fewer illegal immigrants are now removed from the country than at any point in decades..............

Biden Admin Awards $80 Million Contract That Prohibits GPS Monitoring Of Illegal Immigrants

The Biden administration is spending nearly $80 million on a new system to monitor illegal immigrants that prohibits the use of any GPS technology, a decision that experts say will make it impossible to locate their whereabouts after their release into the United States.

The system, according to government records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, is meant to track illegal immigrants via monthly check-ins via phone. Migrants released into the U.S. interior aged 18-19 are eligible for the program. Any GPS monitoring that would give exact locations, such as ankle monitor tracking, is explicitly forbidden, according to the contract.

"This sort of thing is popular among the left. It sounds great but the reality is that people in these programs will likely never be [deported]," former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Ron Vitiello told the Free Beacon. "There's nothing at the end of these programs. If they don't report in, that's that. They're now a fugitive."

The new program for illegal immigrants contradicts claims from the Biden administration that the federal government is investing in sophisticated monitoring programs for illegal immigrants during the worst border crisis in U.S. history. When Republican lawmakers criticized the White House over reports in April that immigration authorities were providing cell phones for illegal immigrants upon their release into the United States, the White House defended the conduct, saying the phones assist the government in monitoring the location of illegal immigrants.

"We need to take steps to ensure that we know where individuals are and we can track and we can check in with them," former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.

The contract was awarded to Acuity International last month. The first payment of just over $16 million out of a potential $79.5 million was paid on Sept. 1.

ICE says in its memo that the purpose of the program is to "promote compliance" among illegal immigrants. Aside from providing case workers for the migrants, the contractor will also "develop and maintain a network of age appropriate and culturally sensitive community resources.".................

Texas border town business owner sells family BBQ restaurant after multiple migrant break ins

AGLE PASS, Texas – A business owner near the U.S. southern border said she was forced to sell her family honky-tonk after the venue was broken into on five separate occasions since February.

"I worked alongside my father for 19 years," said Selena Buentello Price, the former second-generation owner of The Wagon Wheel, a local barbeque joint. "One break-in in 25 years."

"From February to now, I've had five," Price said. "Not only has my business been broken into and ransacked—it's just the insecurity now, you don't feel safe at home anymore."

Price said migrants arriving in Eagle Pass often look for shelter and supplies in vacant buildings. Her family restaurant, which had been shuttered since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, was a frequent stop............

Arrests at Southern Border Reach Record Two Million

For the first time ever, the number of illegal immigrants crossing the border reached two million in one fiscal year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported Monday.

Undocumented immigrants are flooding the country at a historic pace this fiscal year, which ends on September 30. Border Patrol recorded 2,005,026 arrests since last October. Of those arrests, 78 were of individuals on the FBI's terror watchlist, triple the number detained in the previous five years combined, Fox News reported. With a record 8,000 migrants encountered at the border every day, the White House faces growing criticism for its handling of the border crisis.

"We take what's happening at the southern border very seriously, unlike some," Gov. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.) said in a speech last Thursday, "and unlike the president of the United States, who has refused to lift a finger to secure that border."

In recent months, DeSantis as well as the governors of Texas and Arizona have transported migrants to liberal cities whose leaders endorse lax immigration policies, bringing more attention to the crisis facing border cities.

Despite the record migrants at the border, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has defended the Biden administration's handling of the crisis. She claims they have taken "unprecedented action" at the southern border, including new border technology and anti-smuggling task forces. Biden administration officials emphasized on Monday that more immigrants have been removed or expelled this year than any previous year. Just last year, however, the Biden administration's policies led to the lowest deportation rate in decades, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Migrants are not just coming from Mexico and Central America, CBP reported.............

US officials: Border crossings soar among Venezuelans

he number of Venezuelans taken into custody at the U.S. border with Mexico soared in August, while fewer migrants from Mexico and some Central American countries were stopped, officials said Monday.

Venezuelans surpassed Guatemalans and Hondurans to become the second-largest nationality after Mexicans among migrants crossing the U.S. border illegally. U.S. authorities stopped Venezuelans 25,349 times in August, up 43% from 17,652 times in July and four times the 6,301 stops recorded in August 2021.

At the same time, it was the third straight month that fewer immigrants from Mexico and Central America’s Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. Those nationalities have dominated the mix for decades.

Overall, U.S. authorities stopped migrants 203,598 times in August, up 1.8% from 199,976 times in July but down 4.7% from 213,593 times in August 2021.

Authorities stopped migrants 2.15 million times from October through August, the first time that measure topped 2 million during the government's fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. It was a 39% increase from 1.54 million stops the same period a year earlier.

Border crossings have been fueled partly by repeat crossers because there are no legal consequences for getting expelled under a pandemic-era rule that denies a right to seek asylum. Even so, the numbers are extraordinarily high.

Migration from Cuba and Nicaragua remained high, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. Cubans were stopped 19,057 times in August, down from 20,096 times in July but up from 4,496 in August 2021. Nicaraguans were stopped 11,742 times, down from 12,075 in July but up from 9,979 in August 2021.

It's the latest sign of rapidly changing migration flows as U.S. authorities wrestle with unusually large influxes overall.

While no single reason can be pinpointed, it is extremely challenging for the U.S. to expel migrants from Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba under the pandemic rule known as Title 42, which U.S. officials invoke to deny people a chance at seeking asylum on grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19. U.S. relations with all three countries are strained, making it difficult to send them home.................
