The federal government began erecting a security fence around the U.S. Capitol yesterday in advance of Saturday’s Justice for J6 protest. Yet the guardians of America ignore the illegal-invasion at the southwest border.

Thus did border patrol agents apprehend more than 200,000 illegals for the second straight month, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported

So far this year, agents have caught more than 1.5 million illegals. That figure does not count got-aways.

That news, and the 8,200 illegals piled up under the Del Rio, Texas, as of this morning, show that the Biden Regime is either rudderless or purposely importing new voters to cement Democrat power.

Biden and his “immigration czar,” Vice President Kamala Harris, after all, have done nothing to stop the invasion.

August Numbers

CBP reported that agents apprehended 208,887 illegals last month, a 2.2 percent decrease from July’s 213,534.

Of the total, 195,558 were caught jumping the border, and most of that cohort, 97,270, were single adults. Another 79,754 were in so-called families, and 18,534 were “single minors.”

Agents caught 1,472,655 illegals trying to jump the border this year and stopped 68,996 at ports of entry.

Total for the year: 1,541,651. That nearly equals the population of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and it exceeds the population of San Antonio, Texas.

Agents apprehended 6,344 illegals every day, or 264 per hour. 

If those numbers hold for September, the last month in fiscal 2021, agents will apprehend another 190,000 or so. That would put the total for the year at more than 1.7 million.

How many have the China Virus and other diseases is unknown. The Biden Regime has confirmed it is not and will not test the illegals at the border.

But illegals who carry dread diseases are the only threat to the health and safety of Americans, particularly those at the border.

Hidden in the late-summer horde were another 1,000 criminals to bring the total apprehended for the year to 9,728, up from 8,691 in July.

They included rapists, thieves, drug dealers and killers in these numbers:

• Assault, battery, domestic violence: 1,062

• Burglary, robbery, larceny, theft, fraud: 738

• Driving under the influence: 1,510

• Homicide, manslaughter: 53

• Illegal drug possession, trafficking: 1,935

• Illegal entry, re-entry: 5,552

• Illegal weapons possession, transport, trafficking: 305

• Sexual offenses: 448

• Other: 2,470

These numbers do not include “got-aways;” i.e., illegals whom border agents do not apprehend. The Center for Immigration Studies reported in May that 40,000 illegals slipped past agents in April. 

And that was just one month.

Del Rio Bridge

Sharpening the point that the U.S. no longer controls its own border is Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies.

The author of America’s Cover Border War tweeted that almost 7,000 illegals were massed in Del Rio, Texas, apparently ready for a mad rush into the country.

Del Rio is on the border about 160 miles west of San Antonio.

“DHS officer on scene just told me 6,500 illegal immigrants are under the Del Rio, Texas bridge right now,” he wrote at about 9 p.m. last night.

No manpower available for@crowd co trail. No food. No bathroom facilities. This doesn’t look like it’s going to end well. Thinking maybe a breakout?

By this morning, Bill Melugin of Fox News reported, the number had grown to 8,200, thousands of them Haitians.

As that throng awaited its chance to enter the country, contractors in Washington, D.C., erected a security fence around the U.S. Capitol in anticipation of the Justice for J6 rally on Saturday.

Demonstrators will gather in the city to protest the treatment of those arrested for participating in the mostly peaceful protest in Washington, D.C., on January 6. Protestors that day entered the U.S. Capitol. Whether Saturday’s rally is a false-flag operation to incite violence — which would smear supporters of President Trump and give the Biden Regime, Congress, and Big Tech another excuse to crack down on patriots — is unknown.

Either way, concerned as they are about their own safety and “protecting democracy,” the leftists and establishment Republicans who run the government are unconcerned about Americans on the border — at the front line of the illegal-alien invasion.
