GOP Congressman Predicts 120,000 Illegals Apprehended Monthly, 30,000 to 100,00 ‘Got-Aways’
(CNSNews.com) - Border Patrol agents apprehended about 3,600 illegal immigrants a day two weeks ago, and that number jumped last week to over 4,000 illegals a day, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday.
Biggs said that means 120,000 illegal aliens will be apprehended each month, not to mention the 30,000 to 100,000 illegals who got away.
“Let me tell you, when I'm talking to the Border Patrol agents, I talk to folks on the border regularly, and everyone tells me that we're slammed, that we have reached a surge point again. Just two weeks ago we were apprehending about 3600 per day, which is really well above what even Jeh Johnson said was a crisis level,” he told Fox Business’s “Mornings with Maria Bartiromo.”
“Last week it jumped to over 4,000 people a day we were apprehending. That means 120,000 people being apprehended every month now going forward, and that also means that the got-aways are going to be somewhere in the 30,000 to 100,000 range. We're not ever actually sure. We're not getting the COVID testing done that needs to be done,” the congressman said.
“We're back to catch and release. The cartels are still controlling who is coming across the border, and they're open for business. They're advertising again. That's the report I received just yesterday. NGOs from up here are also advertising again, so you're going to see even more caravans. People are massing across the borders, and it is a border crisis,” Biggs said.
“Even the Biden administration is opening up facilities that have been closed under President Trump. So they know that there's this massive influx coming in, and it's crisis proportion again at the border,” he added.
Host Maria Bartiomo noted that there was a crash on the U.S.-Mexico border Tuesday involving an SUV carrying 25 people, which crashed into a semi-truck, killing 13 people.
Fox News reported that those passengers were illegal immigrants, Bartiromo said. She played a clip of former White House senior advisor Stephen Miller on Fox News’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
“You know how you get 25 people in an SUV? I talked to border agents. The smugglers rip out the seats. They pile people on top of each other. They layer them. That's how you fit 25 people in one SUV. Border agents see that kind of thing all the time. We must stop romanticizing illegal immigration. It is cruel. It is wicked. It kills people, and these smuggling organizations are sophisticated,” Miller said.
“Congressman, I think he really encapsulated it well. That was an SUV carrying 25 illegals. They were trying to get into the country. It crashed, and now 13 people are dead. You know, we also do not talk enough about the cartels and how unaccompanied minors are having to face these cartels. It's a dangerous situation. Why are we not talking about this more, and what do you want to hear from the Biden administration about this?” Bartiromo asked.
“Well, it is actually inhumane what happens. So I mean, Steven got it right on the SUVs. They'll cram them through, 20, 25 people in an eight-passenger Ford Expedition or some other SUV. That's what happened yesterday. So that's normal that we see along the border. The other thing is, when you start talking about unaccompanied minors, the vast majority of these unaccompanied minors are ages 14 to 17 right now, and they're male and they're coming in,” Biggs said.
“That tells us a couple things. These are workers or they're gang members. That's really what it is, and when you see little kids that come through, and there's a significant number of those little kids as well - and by the way, it more than doubled the number in the last month that were being apprehended, these little kids,” the congressman added.
“There's human trafficking, sex trafficking, drug trafficking. That’s all that’s going down, and it's all controlled by cartels who are a multi-billion dollar industry and to them people are merely a product. They really don't care about human life, and we see that. We see that regularly,” he said.
Study: Biden Amnesty Would Import California-Size Foreign Population
President Joe Biden’s amnesty plan, which also expands legal immigration levels, would import a foreign population close to the size of California, new analysis reveals.
Last month, House and Senate Democrats introduced the Biden plan — known as H.R. 1177 & S. 348 — which would give amnesty to the roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States while doubling annual legal immigration to the country, flooding the labor market with more foreign competition for the nation’s more than 17 million jobless Americans.
Analysis conducted by NumbersUSA, which advocates on behalf of American workers for less foreign competition in the labor market, finds that by 2031, Biden’s amnesty will have imported a foreign-born population nearly the size of California.
By 2031, the analysis states, nearly 12 million illegal aliens will have taken advantage of the amnesty provisions of the legislation that would allow them to permanently remain in the U.S. and eventually obtain American citizenship.
In addition to those amnestied, the current annual inflow of 1.2 million green card holders would be doubled to more than 2.4 million. In a 10-year period, altogether, the legislation will have brought more than 37.3 million foreign nationals to the U.S. — just two million less than the population of California.
Put differently, the Biden plan would bring a foreign-born population to the U.S. in ten years that would be more than five times the current population of Massachusetts, where 6.9 million residents live.
The overwhelming bulk of immigration within those ten years would derive from the Biden plan’s exempting spouses and minor children from family-based green card caps. By 2031, in this single category, nearly 9.4 million foreign nationals would be admitted to the U.S.
The other bulk of immigration would come from the roughly eight million illegal aliens, those who are not in specific subgroup categories, who would be able to secure green cards by 2027 and then apply for American citizenship after three years.
Such a massive wave of immigration would be a boon for corporate interests, including Wall Street, multinational corporations, real estate investors, and giant tech conglomerates who would not only benefit from an expanded labor market with cheaper labor but also from more consumers to whom they can sell goods and necessities.
Research by the Center for Immigration Studies’ Steven Camarota reveals that for every one percent increase in the immigrant portion of an American workers’ occupation, Americans’ weekly wages are cut by perhaps 0.5 percent. This means the average native-born American worker today has his weekly wages reduced by potentially 8.75 percent as more than 17 percent of the workforce is foreign-born.
Already, current immigration levels put downward pressure on U.S. wages while redistributing about $500 billion in wealth away from America’s working and middle class and towards employers and new arrivals, research by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine has found.
Similarly, peer reviewed research by economist Christoph Albert acknowledges that “as immigrants accept lower wages, they are preferably chosen by firms and therefore have higher job finding rates than natives, consistent with evidence found in U.S. data.” Albert’s research also finds that immigration “raises competition” for native-born Americans in the labor market.
The Biden plan is also wildly out of step with the opinions of most likely U.S. voters.
The latest survey from Rasmussen Reports, for instance, finds that 73 percent of voters want less legal immigration, more than six-in-ten oppose chain migration, about 64 percent oppose businesses importing foreign workers rather than recruiting Americans, and 63 percent support slowing down or fully cutting U.S. population growth driven by immigration.

Previously Deported Illegal Alien Gets 20 Years for Kidnapping Woman
A previously deported illegal alien has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for kidnapping his ex-girlfriend and threatening to murder her in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Luis Analberto Pineda-Anchecta, a 38-year-old illegal alien from Honduras, was convicted by a federal jury in June 2020 for kidnapping his ex-girlfriend on May 15, 2019. Late last month, Pineda-Anchecta was sentenced to 20 years in prison and five years of supervised release.
According to prosecutors, Pineda-Anchecta and another masked man kidnapped the woman from her apartment complex, shoved a cloth in her mouth, and tied a cord around her head to keep the cloth in place before throwing her into the passenger seat of a vehicle.
The woman told prosecutors that Pineda-Anchecta said, “I love you and I’m going to kill you” to her as she was driven to a plot of land.
While driving the woman, Pineda-Anchecta kept his hand tightly gripped on the cord around the woman’s head. Eventually, Pineda-Anchecta stopped at a wooded area off the side of the road and proceeded to pull the woman out of the vehicle.
After being dragged to the wooded area, the woman was able to fight off Pineda-Anchecta and run into the middle of the highway to flag down motorists who stopped to help her. That’s when Pineda-Anchecta fled on foot from the scene.
U.S. District Judge Robert J. Conrad Jr. said Pineda-Anchecta had “intended to kill the victim.”
On January 7, 2020, Pineda-Anchecta was convicted for illegally re-entering the United States after having already been deported. At the time, he was sentenced to seven months in prison.
