Border Invasion to Worsen, and Not By Accident

News about the U.S. border with Mexico worsens by the day, which might seem impossible given what occurred in the past two weeks at Del Rio, Texas. Almost 15,000 Haitian illegal aliens gathered at the border town, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas dumped them into the country. 

But Americans had better be prepared. The invasion will worsen and possibly completely overwhelm the Border Patrol:

  • The Biden Regime released 43,000 illegals into the country during August, the Washington Times has reported.
  • Haiti Joe’s subalterns at DHS think 400,000 illegals might hit the border this month. That tsunami would nearly double the totals for July and August that each exceeded 200,000.
  • Mexican officials have warned that another 125,000 “migrants” will hit the border by December, and a Panamanian official has said another 60,000 Haitians are about to head north now. 

Worse still, last week, Mayorkas ended deportations for just about anyone except criminals of the worst sort. That news undoubtedly went viral quickly and convinced more “migrants” — leftist code for illegal aliens — to trek north.

The chilling concatenation of events suggests not incompetence or refusal to recognize a crisis, but a carefully planned policy to encourage as many illegals to hit the border as possible.

“This August, under President Biden, the Border Patrol made more than 195,000 arrests and released 43,941 people — an increase of more than 430,000%,” the Times’s Stephen Dinan reported.

In August 2020, President Trump’s border people released 10 of the 47,000 caught that month.

Dinan continued with the details about expulsions under the Title 42, the law that permits such removals for health reasons; in this case, the China Virus pandemic:

In August 2021, under Mr. Biden, agents made 195,558 apprehensions — more than 2½ times the number of the other two months combined.

About 47% were expelled under Title 42 powers, and about 7% were put into the speedy deportation process.

Still, 23% were caught and released at the border and 15% more were caught, turned over to ICE and given notices of court dates.

Most of those were held about 25 days then released, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.

Mayorkas revealed last week that 20 percent of the illegals loosed into the heartland are sick. DHS officials did not test the Haitians he unleashed from Del Rio for the China Virus.

But the number released in August will pale next to the number Mayorkas will import and release in the coming months.

“On a call this week with senior Department of Homeland Security officials … Mayorkas asked whether the department was prepared for a worst-case scenario in which 350,000 to 400,000 migrants cross the border in October, according to two DHS officials familiar with the conversation,” NBC News reported:

A number that high would nearly double the 21-year record reached in July, when more than 210,000 migrants crossed the border.

The two DHS officials stressed that the estimate is not based on internal intelligence or calculations, saying it is meant to prepare the agency for what could be an overwhelming number of migrants who cross if a court order that lifts the Covid restriction, known as Title 42, takes effect at the end of the week, as is possible.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled Sept. 16 that use of Title 42, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention authority implemented by the Trump administration to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 in March 2020, did not give the Biden administration the authority to block asylum-seekers from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

Sullivan said his order, which he issued in response to a lawsuit by advocacy groups, would be effective in 14 days, meaning at some point Thursday.

A leftist judge now runs U.S. immigration policy, it seems.

But that not insignificant fact aside, the number of apprehensions in the coming year, which started October 1, could rocket past the anticipated 1.7 million for fiscal 2021, which ended September 30. A final figure won’t be available until U.S. Customs and Border Protection releases data for September.

If, as Mayorkas clearly anticipates, agents handle more than 400,000 apprehensions in October, that one-month total will nearly equal all apprehensions for fiscal 2020: 458,088.

Apprehensions for July and August this year were 422,421, including again, illegal aliens stopped at ports of entry.

Meanwhile, the huddled masses of Haiti are making Jean Raspail’s apocalyptic novel, The Camp of the Saints, a reality.

As The New American reported last week, Mexican officials expect 125,000 Haitians to hit the border by December; 85,000 illegals in South America will soon join 40,000 already in Mexico.

The Panamanian official, Foreign Minister Erika Mouynes, “expressed frustration to Axios that the Biden administration seemed caught off guard by the Haitian migrant crisis because ‘we sounded the alarm when we should have,’” the website reported.

“We’ve engaged with every single authority that we can think of, that we can come across, to say, ‘Please, let’s pay attention to this,” she told Axios.

Mouynes said some 60,000 “mostly Haitian” illegals are “poised” to begin trudging north.

As well, “Panama is expecting more migrants to cross through the dangerous jungles of the Darién Gap this month than in all of 2019 — nearly 27,000, according to Panamanian government estimates provided to Axios.”

The coming invasion is no surprise. Biden’s clear message since Inauguration Day has been that the border is open. And most recently, Mayorkas ordered underlings to consult a long list of “mitigating factors,” then “exercise discretion,” before deporting an illegal. As a practical matter, the order ends deportations except for terrorists and murderers.

One explanation: The regime is attempting overwhelm the country with millions of “migrants” who will become voters and cement Democrat control of the country forever.
