How Many Illegal Immigrants Are Too Many?

The liberty principle for this Freedom Friday concerns the invasion of illegal aliens at America’s southern border. According to federal records, 240,988 migrants were encountered at the southern border in October 2023. The number of encounters along the southern border in September totaled 269,735 (the highest month on record). The total for August was 232,963, and the total for July was 183,479. Jennie Taer wrote about the problem for The Daily Signal.

By my calculations, there were 927,165 illegal immigrants cross the southern border in a period of just four months. Three times that for a year, and it is approximately three million! Four times that number for Biden’s administration, and it is twelve million, and that is only the migrants that we know about!

“In conjunction with our resumption of removal flights to Venezuela consistent with delivering consequences for those who cross the border unlawfully, CBP saw a 65 percent decrease in southwest border encounters of Venezuelans in the second half of October, compared to the second half of September,” Troy A. Miller, senior official performing the duties of the commissioner, said in a statement regarding the new data.

“In October, CBP also saw an overall decrease of 14 percent between ports of entry, as well as an overall decrease of family units. [We had fewer families seeking a better life but plenty of military-age young men. Why should this concern us?] We continue to enhance our border security posture and remain vigilant,” Miller added. [Why not just close the border?]

The number of encounters of illegal migrants exceeded 188,000 at the southern border in October, while the number of migrants encountered at ports of entry surpassed 52,000, according to CBP data. Of those processed at ports of entry, 44,000 used CBP One, a phone application the Biden administration allows migrants to use to book appointments to enter the U.S.

“CBP’s narcotics seizures in October highlight our work on the frontline in the fight against fentanyl and other dangerous substances entering the United States – but we need more resources to sustain and increase these efforts. [Just close the border!] The President’s supplemental budget request is critical to funding the frontline, and would provide much-needed personnel, resources, and technology to go after transnational criminal organizations, enhance border security – including the enforcement of consequences for those who break the law – and support state and local partners, all to keep Americans safe,” Miller added.

The people running the Biden administration are either idiots, or they are deliberating bringing in millions of military-age young men to use in the destruction of the government of the United States. I do not think that they are idiots. I believe that they know what they are doing. Therefore, they are traitors to our nation. I hope that they can be stopped before they destroy America!
