The Cartels Run the Show
14th December 2023
On Tuesday, December 5, more than 12,000 foreigners crossed the U.S. border illegally—the highest daily total of illegal immigrants ever recorded. We are currently witnessing the greatest illegal immigration crisis in American history.
In October, the House Committee on Homeland Security reported that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered a record-breaking 269,735 illegal immigrants in the previous month, “marking another unprecedented milestone under…President Joe Biden’s open border policies.” This represents “an 86% increase” from June 2023. “Since President Biden took office there have been 7.5 million encounters nationwide” with illegal migrants, millions of whom have been “processed” and transported (often at taxpayer expense) across our country.
“[I]n addition,” the House Committee reports, “there are 1.7 million known gotaways” who have snuck into the United States by evading border patrol agents while they are distracted and overwhelmed with paper work. Illegal immigration has increased “more than 100% compared to FY 2019.” According to the New York Times, the illegal migrants come not simply from Latin America but from “more than 160 countries,” including Iran, China, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Chechnya, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Yemen, and Somalia, as well as large parts of Africa and the Middle East.
