Border Patrol agents in the five Texas-based Border Patrol sectors apprehended more than 2.6 million migrants during the past two fiscal years. The number of migrants apprehended during this period exceeds the city of Houston’s population by more than 300,000 people.

Border Patrol agents assigned to the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, Del Rio, Big Bend, and El Paso Sectors apprehended 1,216,501 migrants during the recently ended Fiscal Year 23. One year earlier, agents in these Texas-based border sectors apprehended 1,395,690 migrants.

This brings the total number of migrants apprehended to 2,612,191 during the past two fiscal years, according to the CBP Nationwide Encounters Report. This exceeds the population of the city of Houston (2,302,878) by more than 309,000 people — slightly less than the city of Corpus Christi.

Since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, agents in the five Texas-based border sectors apprehended more than 3,576,000 migrants who crossed between ports of entry. This exceeds the combined population of the counties of Bexar (San Antonio) and Travis (Austin) by more than 250,000 people.

CBP Nationwide Encounters Report filtered by Texas-based border sectors (FY20-FY23).

Of the 1.2 million migrants apprehended last year in the Texas-based border sectors, more than half (652,000) came from Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Another 195,811 came from Venezuela, according to the report. Chinese migrants accounted for nearly 8,000 of the total.

The surge of migrants into the Lone Star State continues in FY24. Just last week, Breitbart Texas’ Randy Clark reported the apprehension of more than 1,800 migrants in the Del Rio Sector in less than 24 hours.

Even more concerning is the number of what Border Patrol calls “Special Interest Aliens.” These are migrants from nations with known ties to terrorism. During the second week of October, Del Rio Sector agents apprehended six Iranian nationals, three Lebanese nationals, one Egyptian national, and one Saudi Arabian national who made landfall in the Eagle Pass area of operations.

So Venezuela is sending their best?

Back in 2015, then-candidate Donald Trump took a lot of flak for saying "Mexico is not sending their best" in reference to those crossing into the U.S. illegally based on then-President Obama's nearly open border.

Today, it's Joe Biden's open border and millions have entered illegally. Mexico not sending their best? Now it's Venezuela, where it comes to light that we are literally importing the Caracas slums into our country.

According to the Daily Mail:

Henchmen for Venezuela's dictator and many of the South American country's worst criminals have crossed over the US border and are now causing chaos in major American cities, including Dallas, Miami and Chicago, multiple sources tell the DailyMail.com.

In Dallas, the Venezuelan neighborhood known as 'Villa Dallas' has descended into mayhem. For months, once peaceful apartment complexes have been the scene of illegal street races, beatings, shootings and extortion attempts.

Residents, overwhelmingly migrants who recently made the harrowing trek through several countries to reach America and are seeking asylum, pointed to videos of fights between armed men, broken windows and reckless drivers speeding through parking lots.

This ain't no Emma Lazarus story of coming to America for the freedom and opportunity. These people aren't coming here because they love and cherish our country. 

These characters are coming to the states to run things exactly like they did back home, in a vast global expansion of their slum lifestyle, and incredibly, the Venezuelan migrants who presumably aren't career criminals, are moving in right with them. Why would you want to leave your country only to have it run the exact same way it was when you left, and with the exact same people running it? That's what they are doing, but makes no sense. The article says that some of these Venezuelans do leave these criminal enclaves when they get money, but the whole scenario pretty well makes a mockery of the concept of asylum, which presumably they are seeking based on the places where they choose to live. You don't flee a place only to seek it out when you get to the next place and call that "credible fear," for a valid asylum claim  as the Bidenites habitually classify these illegal migrants. Obviously, something else is going on, and if it's not government bennies, it's the expansion of the Chavista dream.

Speaking of which, one of the sources quoted by the Daily Mail points out that these Caracas Finest amount to political muscle for the Venezuelan regime, too.

'A lot of these people are criminals from the (Nicholas) Maduro regime,' the Miami lawyer stated. 

'Some are ex-security forces. They are professional criminals or part of criminal organizations.'

 

...and...

Some South American thugs are members of so called 'Collectivos' or Venezuelan state-run militia, Vazquez says. The government-backed gangs run Venezuelan towns, demanding bribes, taking personal items from homes simply because they want to, and killing or attacking citizens at the request of Maduro, who was indicted by the US government in 2020 for narco-terrorism and drug-trafficking charges.

'The same people so many migrants left Venezuela to escape from are now here,' Vazquez added. 

'They're the ones who attacked people for their political beliefs, and they are now in the US. They're doing Maduro's dirty work, and it's not just Dallas. It's Miami; it's Chicago.'

So much for asylum.

There's also him:

Interpol issued a red alert for mob boss Héctor “El Niño” Guerrero (who escaped from a Venezuelan prison) and warned he could be headed to the US, according to multiple South American media organizations.

'If Maduro wants something done in the US, he can use the escaped convicts. They take orders from inside the US,' Vazquez said.

It's come to that. 

So in addition to Colombian and Mexican officials making money off the migration wave and encouraging more of it, and Nicaragua's "little dictator" Daniel Ortega literally sending charter flights to recruit migrants from Haiti to Nicaragua and onward to the U.S. in order to conduct "migrant warfare" on the U.S., we also have Maduro's goons ensconcing themselves in the states, holding out the victim and asylum cards, and carrying on not just crimes for profit, but orders from the Venezuelan state actors, which could turn quite dastardly.

Open borders, it seems is not about the movement of mere people, and not even about the profit of cartels, but about foreign governments getting their snoots in the trough here, leveraging of the movement of people for their own hostile states' advantage against the U.S.

Now we're brimming with the criminals of the Caracas slums who are plying their trade of crime and disorder, turning parts of American cities into Caracas-slum hellholes. Loss of sovereignty? Sure looks like it.

That's on Joe Biden, who has yet to do much of anything about the border other than attempt to gaslight us into claiming there isn't a problem.

It's outrageous. Who the hell signed our country up for importing the Caracas slums and the criminals gangs who run them into the U.S. as our social problem now? How does any of this benefit our country? And why isn't Biden being impeached for this amazing breach of duty, unseen anywhere else in the wold?

Texas Legislature Passes 2 Bills Criminalizing Illegal Migrant Entry into State

The Texas Legislature passed two separate bills criminalizing the illegal entry of migrants into the state. The bill passed by the House also criminalizes the unlawful presence of a foreign national in Texas. Neither bill has passed both chambers.

The Texas House of Representatives passed House Bill 4 early Thursday morning by a vote of 84-60. The bill creates a criminal offense of “illegal entry into or illegal presence in this state by a person who is an alien.”

The bill, if passed by the Texas Senate and signed by Governor Greg Abbott would make the act of attempting to enter the state from a foreign country at a place other than a legal port of entry a Class B misdemeanor. The offense would be punishable by up to six months in jail. A subsequent offense would be classified as a State Jail Felony.

The bill provides a law enforcement officer with an alternative to arrest. The officer may transport the migrant to a port of entry and order the migrant to “return to the foreign nation.” Failure to comply with the officer’s order would constitute a separate offense. This offense is classified as a 2nd Degree Felony.

House Bill 4 will be passed on to the Texas Senate for consideration.

Earlier this month, the Texas Senate passed SB11, which also makes illegal entry into Texas a Class A misdemeanor. The bill passed the Senate with a vote of 19-12 but was left pending in the House State Affairs committee.

The Senate bill does not contain a provision for removal of the migrant as described in the House bill.

Opponents of both bills claim they are unconstitutional as the federal government has jurisdiction over immigration law, the Texas Tribune reported.

Governor Abbott made immigration and border security legislation a priority for the third special session.

On Wednesday night, the House passed a bill providing more than $1 billion for building additional border barriers. A second bill passed on Wednesday which would increase the penalty for human smugglers.

During the recently ended FY23, more than two million migrants were apprehended after crossing the southwest border between ports of entry, Breitbart Texas reported. More than 1.2 million of these migrants crossed into the five Texas-based Border Patrol sectors.

Democrat voters are getting tired of being mugged by the reality they created

Snug in their northern cities far from the open southern border, Democrats condescendingly chided conservatives and those living in southern border regions for their heartlessness and racism. “No person is illegal,” they chanted. “America is a nation of immigrants,” they told us. “Give us your tired, your hungry, your poor, your huddled masses, blah, blah, blah,” they recited as if a poem had the force of law. And then Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott, joined by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, had the inspired idea to send the illegal aliens flooding Texas to places such as Martha’s Vineyard, New York, and Chicago. Now, those smug cities are begging for relief.

It was cute when Martha’s Vineyard, after hosting what was essentially a community-wide barbecue for the few illegal aliens who landed in their elite, white paradise, swiftly sent them on their way. That was easy. It’s harder, though, in places like New York and Chicago.

In Chicago, residents in Brighton Park were furious that the city is planning to build a migrant camp in their community:

Tensions escalated in the city’s Brighton Park neighborhood during a meeting Tuesday evening over a proposed encampment for approximately 2,000 migrants [note: “migrants” means illegal aliens]. 

Residents say they only found out about the project when they recently spotted construction crews working at the site. The discovery led to protests, and on Monday, city officials confirmed their intent for the 10-acre vacant lot, located at 38th and California.

[snip]

Residents, on Tuesday, were divided on the plan. Some are calling for better living conditions for migrant families, while others say they're concerned over safety and don't want the encampment in the neighborhood.

“I don’t want any of my neighbors to have to live on the streets or in tents,” one resident said.

“We have concerns about our students, our children who walk on this street every day, how do we ensure their safety,” another community member said.

I’d feel sorry for these residents if it weren’t for the fact that, according to this tweet, 87% of the people in this community voted for Biden:

Meanwhile, New Yorkers are getting fed up with the burden that illegal aliens are placing on their city. For example, New York is paying over $11 million just to wash laundry for illegal aliens. That’s on top of the $23 million the city is shelling out for other services for illegal aliens, some of which also include dirty laundry.

Moreover, all this is just a small part of the billions of dollars New York is spending to take care of people who entered this country illegally. Funnily enough, New Yorkers didn’t mind when that cost was being borne by small communities along the Texas border. Indeed, except for Staten Island, New York City enthusiastically backed “Open Borders” Biden.

Given the budgetary costs of the illegal aliens, not to mention their taking over homeless shelters and hotels, it’s no surprise that Mayor Adams is taking a page out of Governors Abbott’s and DeSantis’s book: He’s shipping those aliens out of the city.

New York City is now steering migrants to a new “reticketing center” where they can secure a free one-way plane ticket anywhere in the world — as Mayor Eric Adams scrambles to free up space in the Big Apple’s already-overburdened shelter system.

[snip]

“With no sign of a decompression strategy in the near future, we have established a reticketing center for migrants,” a spokesperson for Mayor Adams said.

“Here, the city will redouble efforts to purchase tickets for migrants to help them take the next steps in their journeys, and it helps us triage operations at The Roosevelt for new arrivals.”

The cost of buying a plane ticket is, in some cases, cheaper than the $380 it sets the city back per day to house an asylum seeker in one of its shelters.

There are few sights lovelier than seeing Democrats get mugged by the reality they so happily foisted on other parts of America. Sadly, most people learn best through pain, and they’re finally experiencing the real pain from the policies they so smugly and condescendingly insisted upon.

Exclusive: 1800 Migrants Cross into Texas Border Town in 24 Hours

EAGLE PASS, Texas — After a brief slowdown in migrant crossings into the small border town of Eagle Pass, Texas, nearly 1,800 migrants were apprehended between Thursday evening and Friday afternoon, according to a source within CBP. Border Patrol agents assigned to the two stations located in the city responded to multiple large migrant groups crossing into the heart of downtown Eagle Pass and points farther south of the city.

The largest single group of migrants was more than 300 strong and crossed two miles south of the Eagle Pass Camino Real Port of Entry. Breitbart posted near the city’s rail bridge from Mexico and observed multiple smaller groups cross the Rio Grande. The migrants went on to breach the concertina wire near the Camino Real Port of Entry. Nearly 200 migrants accumulated under the bridge and surrendered to the Border Patrol.

After a huge spike in crossings in late September that saw groups as large as 2,400 migrants crossing into the city, resulting in significant national media attention, efforts in Mexico to slow the migrants’ travel to the city brought single-day apprehensions to around 1,000 migrants per day.

The latest incursions are a signal that the efforts in Mexico to keep migrants from using freight trains to reach the U.S. border are failing. According to the source, detention levels at a nearby soft-sided migrant processing facility are nearing 3,000 as the weekend begins. The facility’s capacity is set at 1,000 and is frequently overcrowded due to the volume of migrant crossings in and around Eagle Pass.

During the September migrant crossing spike, the facility reached a peak capacity of 5,000 migrants despite efforts to move the migrants to the Texas Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, and El Paso to reduce the overcrowding. The latest migrant groups to cross into Eagle Pass include mostly Venezuelan, Colombian, and Cuban nationals.

The source says the latest spike is alarming as the water flow in the Rio Grande is higher than normal due to water releases from the nearby Amistad Dam in Del Rio, Texas. The Dam coordinates water releases under a treaty with Mexico managed by the bi-national International Boundary and Water Commission.

A rescue boat manned by Mexico’s National Institute of Migration’s Grupo Beta responded to the largest incursion on Thursday evening to prevent drownings after reports of several migrants being swept away by the currents. Several migrants from the group remain missing due to the swift currents and have not been located, according to the source.
