Report: Biden Uses Military Base to Fly Nearly 800 Border Crossers into U.S.
President Joe Biden’s administration has used a United States military base in Texas to fly nearly 800 border crossers into the United States.
Last week, Fox News’s Tucker Carlson revealed that the Biden administration has been using Laughlin Air Force Base, east of Del Rio, Texas, to fly border crossers into the U.S. interior.
Carlson said the Pentagon confirmed to him that the secretive operation is occurring under the guise of the Department of Homeland Security’s “mission.” The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, though, refused to disclose where in the U.S. border crossers are being flown.
While still not disclosing where the migrants are being flown in the U.S., DHS officials confirmed to San Antonio Express-News that about 780 border crossers were flown into the U.S. via Laughlin Air Force Base since June 29.
The use of a military base is only one way the Biden administration is keeping border crossers in the U.S. rather than returning them to their native countries.
For months, Breitbart News has chronicled the Biden administration’s expansive Catch and Release operation through which at least tens of thousands of illegal aliens are being briefly detained, put up in migrant hotels, then bused or flown into the U.S. interior with only the promise that they will show up to their asylum hearings months, or a year, later.

In June, Breitbart News reported that it is not only border crossing family units that are being resettled via the Catch and Release operation. The Biden administration is busing and flying single male adult border crossers into U.S. cities that remain undisclosed to American citizens.
The latest available data, from February 19 to April 22, reveals the Biden administration has flown about 7,200 border crossers into the U.S. interior on domestic commercial flights. Border crossers are allowed to bypass photo identification requirements, boarding flights without a photo ID, and do not have to prove they are negative for the Chinese coronavirus.

Graham: 'I Have Never Seen This Joe Biden. This Is Demagoguery'
(CNSNews.com) - Why does President Joe Biden "keep spewing out misinformation" about voting integrity bills passed or pending in state legislatures, Maria Bartiromo asked Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on "Sunday Morning Futures."
Last week, Biden, who ran for president on a "unity" platform, attributed racial motives to the "onslaught of (Republican) state laws" that he said are "undermining voting rights in old and new ways."
"He's trying to change the subject, because he can't talk about his policies. His policies are failing at the border," Graham responded:
Rampant inflation. You can't walk out in the streets without worrying about getting shot or your child kidnapped. Radical Islam is on the rise. So he can't talk about policy, because he's failed on the policy front. So he's trying to make all of us racists as Republicans.
I have known Joe Biden for 20, 25 years. I have never seen this Joe Biden. This is demagoguery. It's offensive to me and every state trying to shore up their voting laws. What Joe Biden is telling you about what we're doing is a lie. And the reason he's doing it is to change the subject to try to talk about anything but his failed presidency.
We're coming back in 2022. And I hope to God that President Trump runs in 2024.
President Trump won the 2016 on a promise to build a wall at the Southwest border. That wall, never completed, has now been abandoned by the Biden administration, which has done nothing to stop the onslaught of illegal immigration.
Migrant Arrests at Southwest Border Jump 700 Percent over May 2020
Migrant arrests and apprehensions by Border Patrol in May jumped nearly 700 percent over the same month in 2020. Agents apprehended more than 172,000 migrants at the U.S.-Mexico boundary, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials report.
CBP officials released the May Southwest Border Land Encounters report late Wednesday evening. The report reveals that Border Patrol agents arrested or apprehended 172,011 migrants after they illegally entered the U.S. This is up from only 21,593 during the same month one year ago — an increase of 697 percent, officials stated.
During Fiscal Year 2021, which began on October 1, 2020, Border Patrol agents apprehended a total of 897,213 migrants. This is up from only 229,225 for the same period last year — a 291 percent increase. These apprehensions include 636,892 single adults, 78,513 migrant families, and 181,808 unaccompanied minors.
Border Patrol sectors in Texas bore the brunt of illegal migrant apprehensions. The five Texas-based sectors account for more than 118,000 of the 172,000 apprehensions.
The largest increase took place in the Del Rio Sector, where Texas Governor Greg Abbott will host a summit Thursday afternoon. Del Rio Sector agents apprehended 27,890 migrants — a 1,118 percent increase over the May 2020 report of 2,289.
Policies put in place by then-President Donald Trump reduced the illegal crossings of migrant families and unaccompanied minors by nearly 95 percent in 2020. The Biden Administration reversed many of those policies and migrant families and unaccompanied minors returned to the border in massive numbers.
The apprehension of migrant families along the southwest border in May jumped from 966 in 2020 to 13,906 this year. This represents an increase of 1,340 percent.
The apprehension of unaccompanied minors, many of whom are simply being abandoned after being placed across the border, jumped by more than 4,000 percent. Agents apprehended only 979 unaccompanied minors in May 2020. This jumped to 40,078 in May 2021, officials reported. Of those, nearly 21,000 crossed into the Rio Grande Valley Sector in South Texas.
