Are You Ready For a Bigger Flood of Illegal Immigrants at the Border?

Title 42 will expire on May 11, 2023, and the flood of illegal immigrants coming into the United States will greatly increase. The Biden administration – Department of Homeland Security – is blaming smugglers for spreading disinformation about the border being open. I do not understand why they do not simply close the border, but I know that they will not.

According to Virginia Allen at The Daily Signal, Title 42 is a public health measure that was put in place during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic by the Trump administration. It gave Border Patrol the authority to “quickly expel some illegal aliens from the country.” It worked well until Biden became POTUS and opened the borders to whoever wanted to come to America. 

Instead of closing the border, “Biden has authorized 1,5000 active-duty U.S. troops to be deployed at the border for 90 days to assist” the Border Patrol. The troops will help with transportation and administrative tasks, freeing “Border Patrol and other law enforcement to work in the field.”

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Arizona) expects that “as many as 14,000 illegal aliens are expected to be encountered at the southern border daily when Title 42 ends.” Supposedly, Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security has a plan to deal with them. At least, he has been working for a year on a plan that has “six pillars.”

The first pillar focuses on increasing resources and touts the addition of “2,000 additional non-uniformed personnel” to help Border Patrol process illegal aliens, the hiring of an additional 300 Border Patrol agents, increasing border surveillance, constructing new processing centers, using larger vehicles to transport illegal aliens from the border to processing centers, increasing medical [personnel] on hand, and increasing funding.

The second pillar focuses on processing illegal aliens faster.

The third centers on the establishment of new removal and parole processes.

The fourth pillar includes millions of dollars in funding to non-governmental

organizations that transport, house, and provide resources to illegal aliens.

The final two pillars of the DHS plan include efforts to target drug and human smugglers and to work with other nations within the Western Hemisphere to address the “root causes of migration.” (Emphasis added.)

I say that Mayorkas really messed up. He should have forgotten about “the root causes” and used the millions of dollars and the past year to complete a wall across the southern border. He would have had money left over to provide lights and all the electronic gadgets to completely seal the border. Mayorkas and Biden should be impeached for allowing millions of illegal immigrants to flood into the United States!

Is There a Crisis at the Southern U.S. Border?

            The Biden administration has proclaimed for months that there is no crisis at the southern U.S. border. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently claimed that the southern border “is secure” when he spoke at the Aspen Security Forum. He was asked about the southern border and the more than 200,000 migrant encounters per month for the past four months. Even though Border Patrol agents are dealing with the greatest number of migrants in history, Mayorkas considered the situation to be a “historic challenge” – but not a crisis.

            Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz recently admitted under oath that there is a crisis at the border. According to Chris Enloe at The Blaze, the State of Florida acted to stop illegal immigration last year when attorneys for the state filed lawsuits against the Department of Homeland Security and other government agencies. 

In March 2021, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody sued the Biden administration over its immigration policies. A second lawsuit was filed in September 2021, this time over the administration’s catch-and-release policy. And last December, Florida sued the Biden administration for not complying with FOIA requests.

            Ortiz was questioned under oath for a deposition related to the lawsuits on July 28. He testified that there are “no consequences” administered to migrants entering the United States illegally since Joe Biden became President of the United States. The lack of “consequences” encourages migrants to come across the border illegally.

Attorney: “Why is it important to detain and remove demographics that are amendable to the Border Patrol?”

Ruiz: “You want to make sure you have consequences.”

Attorney: “OK. And if you don’t have consequences, what is likely to happen?”

Ruiz: “In my experience, we have seen increases when there are no consequences.”

Attorney: “OK. So, if migrant populations believe that they’re going – there are not going to be consequences, more of them will come to the border. Is that what you’re saying?”

Ruiz: “There is an assumption that if migrant populations are told that there is a potential that they may be released, that yes, you can see increases.”

Attorney: “So, it will increase at an exponential rate. Is that what is being suggested here?”

Ruiz: “Well, I do think it will increase, yeah.”

            According to Enloe, Ruiz admitted other highlights during the deposition. He agreed that there is a “crisis” at the southern U.S. border and that “unprecedented numbers of aliens are illegally entering the United States right now.” He also admitted that the numbers of migrants coming to the southern U.S. border have increased under Biden. He also stated that America is “less safe” because of the border crisis.

Ruiz is the first member of the Biden administration to admit that there is a crisis at the border. Will the dam of denial break with more administrators admitting a crisis, or will Ruiz lose his job?
