A Starting Gun’s Going to Go Off’: Huge Migrant Surge Just Days Away, Warns Former Border Patrol Chief

Former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott has warned of a buildup in the number of people readying to rush the U.S.-Mexico border when the Trump-era Title 42 program that helped stem the tide of illegal immigration ends in just a few days.
“On Dec. 22, it’s almost like a starting gun’s going to go off,” Scott told NTD’s The Nation Speaks program in an interview, adding that intel sources in Mexico have warned that untold numbers of people are “literally backing up, they’re getting ready” to cross the border without authorization after Title 42 ends on Dec. 21.
But while Border Patrol agents are aware of the coming surge, Scott warns they’re limited in their ability to prevent people from crossing into the United States illegally and ending up in communities across the nation.
“Border Patrol is completely and totally overwhelmed,” he said. “It doesn’t matter where people live—this affects you. Every city, town, state, and across this nation is where the people and the narcotics and the other threats the cartel brings in is going.”
“And it’s just going to get easier for the cartel and harder on the Border Patrol agents” after Title 42 is lifted, he predicted.
