The Great Replacement that the Biden administration and leftist media say is a “white nationalist conspiracy theory” has looked a heck of a lot like more than a theory.

Since March 1, border agents have apprehended more than 500,000 illegals who were trying to enter the country illegally. The recent surge is easily explained. In late March, the administration announced it would lift Title 42 public-health expulsions on May 23.

A federal judge blocked that move, but nonetheless, it appears that the surge at the border Biden’s own officials predicted might be forthcoming. Apprehensions were near 7,000 per day through the first two weeks of May.

513K Apprehensions

“Between [March 1] and May 15 approximately 513,000 migrants illegally crossed the southwest border with Mexico,” Breitbart News reported:

The number reflects apprehensions cited in the April Southwest Border Migration Report and unofficial numbers obtained from a law enforcement source within CBP.

The source stated that agents apprehended approximately 47,000 migrants just in the past seven days.

Until recently, the Rio Grande Valley and Del Rio Sectors led the nation in migrant apprehensions. However, a recent surge in the El Paso Sector pushed the remote Texas-New Mexico sector into the lead, Breitbart Texas reported. The source told Breitbart that El Paso Sector agents detained nearly 5,000 migrants in [an] area processing center on Monday. Haitian migrants accounted for about 50 percent of this total.

If the 94,000 for the first two weeks of May holds, agents will apprehend 188,000 illegals who try to jump the border, a number that does not include those who present themselves at ports of entry. Last month, that figure was 16 percent of the total. Thus, border agents could apprehend another 200,000 illegals by May 31.

Yet with the way the surge is moving, and the knowledge that Biden wants to drop Title 42 expulsions, apprehensions and total encounters could well surge even higher.

Border agents stopped 234,088 illegals in April, including those at ports of entry, about half of whom, more than 117,000, Biden released to colonize the heartland.

Total apprehensions for fiscal 2022, which began October 1, are more than 1.2 million. Biden was releasing almost 40 percent until April, when he released 50 percent.

As for Title 42 of U.S. immigration law, it permits the immediate expulsion of immigrants for health reasons, in this case, the China Virus. As he promised, a federal judge issued a restraining order to stop Biden from dropping the Trump-era policy. 

Judge’s Order

In other words, the world’s penniless masses received Traitor Joe Biden’s message loud and clear: Come on in, the water’s fine. Free stuff for all, not least the baby formula no longer available on store shelves.

Summerhays blocked the end of Title 42 because the decision, which came from the Centers for Disease Control, trespassed the Administration Procedures Act that governs how the executive branch makes and executes policies.

Not that what the judge says means a thing. As a practical matter, he can’t force Biden to continue the expulsions.

Before Summerhays announced his decision last month, Fox News’s Bill Melugin reported that border agents had already stopped Title 42 expulsions. Other reports say they have resumed, and that agents are acting on the law “sporadically.”

That regardless, illegals believe that crossing the border virtually ensures they’ll stay forever. That’s why they’re surging in.

Del Rio Border Sector Chief Jason Owens tweeted this recap of the weekend’s border crossings:

Del Rio Sector Weekend Recap

Apprehensions: 3,133 

• Gotaways: 1,614

• Rescues: 11

• Deaths: 4

• 29 smuggling vehicle loads intercepted

Biden has released almost one million illegals since he took office. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas confirmed in early May that he and Biden had released some 836,000 illegals since he took office in January 2021.

By the end of May, that figure will almost certainly pass one million, and exceed all but nine or 10 of the most populous cities in the United States.

Maybe “conspiracy theory” isn’t quite the right way to describe the Great Replacement.
