Border agents stopped four human smuggling attempts in 24 hours last week, and on Friday, nailed yet another sex pervert trying to sneak into the country.
The latest reports from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, as well the agency’s recent monthly apprehensions data, suggest that illegal aliens are rushing to the border in the hope Democrat “President-elect” Joe Biden puts his hand on a Bible on January 20.
They’re coming on foot. They’re coming in cars. They’re even coming in washing machines.
Agents threw a net over almost 70,000 in October. That number might well increase in November if they continue catching human smugglers with no regard for the lives in their hands.

Big Haul
Border agents north of border-town Laredo netted 26 illegals when they stopped a flatbed trailer at a checkpoint, CBP reported. A canine alerted agents to the human cargo, all Mexicans and hidden in a false compartment.
Unsurprisingly, they were seemingly unconcerned about piling into a confined space in the middle of the Chinese Virus pandemic.
Reported CBP:
None of the individuals were wearing any personal protective equipment (PPE) while concealed in the cramped space under the flatbed trailer. Laredo Sector Chief Patrol Agent Matthew Hudak stated, “Trapping 26 people underneath the floor of this trailer created a very dangerous situation, putting the lives of these illegal aliens at risk. Without any social distancing or PPE, these people were completely unprotected from COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. Smugglers continue to demonstrate a total disregard for public safety and the lives of smuggled aliens.”
Newsflash: Human smugglers don’t care about masks and social distancing.
Later that day in Laredo, agents uncovered something in a washing machine, and it wasn’t a courtesy package of Tide.
That illegal was one of more than a dozen illegals packed into appliances and furniture, including a mattress. Again, the game was up when agents at a checkpoint stopped the Chevy Suburban that towed a utility trailer with the appliances and the illegals, CBP reported:
Upon examining the items on the trailer, agents discovered 13 individuals hidden among the varied furniture items, mattresses, and home appliances. They were immediately medically screened. None were wearing personal protective equipment.
The agency did not divulge whether the washer was set on delicates or heavy duty.
In Edinburg that day, CPB reported, agents bagged five dozen illegals trying to cross the border in a group, then raided two residences and collared nearly three dozen more.
Agents arrested 61 illegals from Mexico, Venezuela, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala who were sneaking into the country south of border-town McAllen.
Later that day, a raid on a home in Rio Grande City yielded 21 illegals. Another on a trailer home in Edinburg uncovered a stash house. Eighteen illegals from Mexico and the Northern Triangle — Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador — “were kept in poor living conditions with minimal ventilation,” CBP reported.
Checking a car by the side of the road at Arizona’s Tohono O’odham Indian Reservation that day, Tucson sector agents arrested three illegals and their smuggler. The illegals were dressed in camouflage, which smugglers often force them to buy.
Agents seized a loaded handgun as well.
A canine inspection at Amado, Arizona, about 35 minutes south of Tucson, divulged two illegals in the trunk of a car from which they could not have escaped.
Sex Offender Caught
Meanwhile, on November 20, yet another previously deported sex fiend tried to sneak back into the country. He jumped the border, the agency reported, 23 miles west of California’s Calexico Port of Entry.
The 41-year-old Mexican, deported in 2004, “has an active warrant for ‘Lewdness with a Child Under 14’ and ‘Sexual Assault with a Child Under 14’ out of Nye County, Nevada.”
As The New American reported last week, agents cuffed two killers and six offenders over 10 days through November 20. Four of the sex criminals were child molesters.
All were previously deported.
The latest arrests highlight the increasing peril of leaving the southern border open to a flood of illegals who have been crossing in increasing numbers since April.
In October, border agents caught 69,237, a 20-percent increase over September’s number.
Biden promises amnesty and a home for any and all who show up at the border hat in hand with a tale of woe.
