THEY REALLY HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA AS TO HOW MANY INVADERS CLIMB THE BORDERS. BIDEN QUICKLY SCATTERS THESE 'UNREGISTERED DEM VOTERS' ALL OVER THE COUNTRY BEFORE THEY CAN BE COUNTED.
146,000 Migrants Apprehended in July in Texas-Based Border Sectors — Up 16 Percent from June
Border Patrol agents in the five Texas-based sectors apprehended 146,212 migrants in July who illegally crossed the border from Texas. This represents more than 73 percent of all migrants apprehended last month in the nine southwest border sectors. It also represents an increase of percent over June’s 126,485 apprehensions.
Border Patrol agents assigned to the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, Del Rio, Big Bend, and El Paso Sectors apprehended 146,212 migrants in July, according to the Southwest Border Land Encounters report released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection late last week. These include the apprehensions of 61,779 family unit aliens, 15,267 unaccompanied alien children, and 68,666 single adult aliens.
While Texas is host to five of the nine southwest border sectors, the apprehension of migrants in these sectors accounts for 73 percent of the total apprehensions along the U.S.-Mexico border. The July apprehensions also show an increase from one month earlier of 16 percent.
Breitbart Texas reported last month that during the first nine months of Fiscal Year 2021 (which began on October 1, 2020) the Texas-based border sector agents apprehended more than 732,573 migrants. That number now stands at 878,785 apprehensions in ten months.
Agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector in southeast Texas continue to lead all Border Patrol sectors with the apprehension of 80,306 migrants. These include 48,464 family units,20,803 single adults, and 11,036 unaccompanied children.
Breitbart TexasThe Del Rio Sector jumped into second place with the apprehension of 33,517 migrants including 21,079 single adults, 11,567 family units, and 881 unaccompanied minors.
During a visit to the Rio Grande Valley Sector last week, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters, “The situation at the border is one of the toughest challenges we face. It is complicated, changing, and involves vulnerable people at a time of a global pandemic,” Breitbart reported. He attempted to blame the Trump administration for the surge in what he called the “cruel policies of the past administration.”
Breitbart Texas’ Randy Clark, a 32-year Border Patrol veteran, responded to Mayorkas visit, saying, “Mayorkas failed to address the impact of thousands of migrants being detained in inhumane conditions due to the sheer volume of traffic crossing the southern border — a level that has overwhelmed available resources at all levels of government.”
Mayorkas also appeared to ignore recent reports showing that 20 percent of the migrant children being released into Texas under his administration are testing positive for COVID-19 — after being released by Border Patrol. Additionally, 18 percent of the migrant families being released are testing positive.
Many of the migrants being released by the Border Patrol are being placed on buses without being tested for the coronavirus and transported to major cities across Texas.
“What we’re doing is coordinating with the EMC, the emergency management coordinators, in Austin and Houston, and I believe even Dallas, too,” Laredo Mayor Pete Saenz, a Democrat, told reporters. “Then, it’s really up to them to continue offering PPEs, masks, hygiene, whatever they require.”
“The reason why we don’t do testing is that once you test, there’s an obligation,” Saenz explained. “If they’re positive, we’re told that you have to quarantine. We don’t have the infrastructure for that.”
“Border Patrol was very clear that they were just going to put them out in the street, in our plazas. And, of course, we couldn’t have that,” Saenz told reporters.
“I know some people may say, ‘you’re basically transporting untested people to other cities.’ And the answer is ‘yes,’ the border mayor concluded, “But what alternative do we have here, locally?”

Migrant Apprehensions at Southern Border in July Jump 420 Percent over Last Year
Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 200,000 migrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico during the month of July. This represents an increase of more than 418 percent over the same month last year and a 12 percent increase over the previous 21-year-high mark set in June.
“CBP continues to take necessary measures to safely manage the Southwest Border and protect the health of communities, personnel, and migrants themselves, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Acting Commissioner Troy Miller said in a written statement on Thursday.
Despite the “necessary measures,” the apprehension of migrants illegally crossing the border from Mexico has drastically increased every month since President Joe Biden took office in January and reversed the highly successful programs put in place during the Trump administration. In February, President Biden’s first full month in office, apprehensions jumped to 97,642. Since the end of January, apprehensions jumped from 75,142 to 199,777 — an increase of 142 percent in six months, according to the CBP’s July Southwest Land Border Encounters report.
The Rio Grande Valley Sector in South Texas continues to see massive increases in what is already the busiest sector in the nation. Agents in this sector apprehended 80,306 migrants in July — an increase of 961 percent over the same month last year. So far this year, RGV Sector agents have apprehended more than 412,000 migrants so far this fiscal year. This is up 518 percent over the same period last fiscal year, officials reported.
Between October 1, 2020, and July 31, 2021, Border Patrol agents apprehended 1,279,394 migrants (up 327 percent over last year) including 175,438 single adults (up 260 percent), 179,880 Family Unit Aliens (up 1,692 percent), and 56,730 Unaccompanied Single Minors (up 621 percent).
“CBP has also adapted to changing dynamics between ports of entry along the Southwest Border, continuing to take steps to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 by expelling roughly half of those encountered under CDC’s Title 42 public health authority,” Commissioner Miller concluded in his remarks.

Afghanis face 14-step U.S. visa process as Taliban streams into Kabul. And illegals at the border? Come on in
Based on the news photos seen on Twitter, the Taliban is at the gates of Kabul, and the Saigon-style U.S. evacuations have begun.
AP, Bloomberg and Al-Arabiya are reporting that the Taliban is streaming into Kabul from all sides, and control every provincial capital. The terrorists are flying abandoned U.S. helicopters, posing with our abandoned guns, and parading in abandoned U.S. vehicles, with its "commanders" dancing with glee. In Kabul, the airport is jammed, the bank runs are starting, the prisoners are being let out, and the car line into Uzbekistan up north is stretching for miles. Gunshots are reportedly heard at the Afghan presidential palace. The Taliban took Jalalabad, shutting off the eastern route out, so Kabul airport is reported to be the only exit left. The U.S. Chinook helicopters have arrived for evacuations, the fighting on the outskirts of the capital is fierce, and planes have reportedly been taking off without a known destination.
Which leaves what must be the biggest horror -- the line for visas into the U.S. sought by those who served as translators, interpreters, spies or collaborators of the U.S. during the 20-year war.
Their fate is likely to be grim once the Taliban takes over, and you can bet these invading barbarians, who have engaged in public hangings and beheadings in recent days as they've taken over provinces, would like to make an example of some or all of them.
According to the Wall Street Journal, getting a visa to the U.S., even in these conditions, remains a 14-step process.
About 18,000 Afghans who have applied for the U.S.’s Special Immigrant Visa, as well as their families, remain on the ground in Afghanistan, with about half of those outside Kabul, in areas either already under Taliban control or likely to fall soon, a congressional aide said.
In addition, the State Department this month said tens of thousands more Afghans would be eligible for priority treatment under a U.S. refugee settlement program. The new criteria applied to Afghans who worked for U.S. government contractors, U.S.-funded programs and U.S.-based media or nongovernmental organizations, as well as their families.
The precise criteria remain uncertain, and the State Department hasn’t said whether part-time and contract workers for U.S. organizations would be eligible. The prospective refugees would have to get themselves out of Afghanistan to a third country at their own expense, the State Department said.
Fourteen steps? For people they presumably already know and have already worked with? Translators, spies, interpreters, other people who've taken risks for us? The time is short, the monsters are circling, and like everyone else, the visa applicants probably believed the U.S. intelligence assessments that Kabul would fall in 90 days, not 72 hours (or less). Sure, they've gotten 200 out through a refugee program called Operation Allies Rescue with 700 more in the pipeline, and 7,000 visas. But the people who need to get out number by one report 80,000 people, if families are included, and according to this report from Politico, there has been no U.S. planning for them, despite having several months to do it from the date that Biden announced the pullout.
With the hour late, it's probably impossible to get everyone out now, and many have been told to get out on their own, but it's still hard to understand why the U.S. can't streamline this process, conduct some triage given the circumstances, and fly these applicants out, to Kuwait, or Qatar, or Guam (whose governor has said he would gladly take them), and sort their paperwork out there. NGOs are stepping up and saying they'll pay for the flights and the keep of the refugees. But the visas? They're powerless. The continuous reported answer from State department officials is there's nothing we can do.
It's madness. Politico notes that even a FLASH message from Joe Biden himself saying to let them in might not be enough. The Journal reports that there is some effort to get the ones out who are in the latter steps of the visa process, but it's obviously not enough. Joe's on vacation of course, but it seems insane that he hasn't even tried.
The bigger irony, though, is that as these bona fide refugees are gummed up in visa paperwork, the southern border is seeing a surge of people with no serious asylum cases into the country, no questions asked. Some 50,000 of them have been let in without a court date, a paperwork nicety most ignore anyway. Others have been admitted with full-blown COVID, despite Title 42, which would normally force them back. None of them have ever done a thing for us, but they're being let in without visas, without any paperwork, without even court dates, because they serve as useful political tools for Democrats.
But for Afghanis who helped us? Despite the fact that we know who they are? They get the full 14-point visa process as the capital falls to the enemy. It's insane. The Taliban must be laughing. We owe these people some kind of way out, or good luck ever getting local collaborators the next time we ever have to hose some terrorist hellhole out. That road's being closed off, too.

The Four Horsemen of the Biden Apocalypse
In the waning days of the Trump administration, the country was showing signs of economic improvement, people were feeling more confident about battling COVID, and the border was relatively secure as the wall was finally being constructed.
What a difference seven months can make. It has been a horrific 207 days since President Joe Biden and his radical administration were unleashed on the country.
In effect, a political apocalypse is approaching. In the New Testament Book of Revelation, the four horsemen of the apocalypse are revealed to be "Conquest, War, Famine, and Death." In the Old Testament Book of Ezekiel, the four horsemen are referred to as "sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague."
In the era of Joe Biden, the four horsemen of our political apocalypse are the border invasion, the economic catastrophe, the assault on our families, and the use of the COVID plague to eliminate our constitutional rights.
1. Invasion. Biden inherited a secure border and immediately decided to destroy the progress of President Donald Trump and create an unmitigated disaster for Americans. The border wall was foolishly stopped, the policy of "catch and release" was reinstituted, the "Remain in Mexico" policy was ended, and illegal aliens were given an invitation to enter the United States.
As a result, the flood of illegal aliens has been unprecedented. The number of new apprehensions is increasing each month at the border, reaching the highest level in 25 years in July. Over 210,000 illegal aliens were apprehended on the southern border last month. Simultaneously, an untold number of people have been entering the country without detection. Coupled with ongoing legal immigration efforts, the United States of America is being radically and quickly transformed.
These illegal aliens are not being tested for COVID, are not being vaccinated, and are being sent all over the country. This is spreading the virus across the country while cynically changing the demographics of many "red" states. Although most citizens living in these areas are opposed to this resettlement, they have been powerless to stop it.
2. Catastrophe. Upon entering office, Biden should have continued Trump-era economic policies that were working. Instead, he stopped the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and displacing thousands of workers from their jobs. Biden also placed a moratorium on the issuance of new oil and gas drilling leases on federal territory, both onshore and offshore.
As a result, America is transitioning from being energy independent for the first time in decades, under President Trump, to being energy-dependent once again. Ironically, Biden is now asking OPEC members to increase their oil production.
Biden has also happily supported radical legislation in Congress that will add to the national debt while spending trillions of dollars that will create severe inflationary woes in our county. During the Biden administration, prices on a wide range of items such as gasoline, lumber, and groceries are rapidly escalating. This has created the sharpest rise in inflation in 20 years.
If it passes in the U.S. House of Representatives, the new $1.2-trillion "infrastructure" bill that just was approved in the U.S. Senate will be an economic disaster. It includes very little real infrastructure, but it does include tax increases, at least $256 billion in additional federal debt that will exacerbate inflationary pressures, and a grab bag of liberal proposals. The bill advocates zero-emission vehicles, combats "racist" highways, and for good measure uses the word "equity" 64 times.
It sets the stage for an even bigger monstrosity, the "human infrastructure" bill that will cost over $3.5 trillion. It is being advertised as a de facto "Green New Deal" that will include a staggering number of climate change initiatives. The economic chaos that such a bill will institute is mind-boggling to contemplate.
3. Assault. Across America, our cities are on fire as crime is exploding. An increasing number of innocent Americans are being victimized each day. Incredibly, liberal politicians have used the opportunity to demand the defunding of police departments. This has only increased the number of police officers resigning and retiring. As a result, police departments are understaffed, and recruitment is becoming extremely difficult in urban areas that are viewed as being anti-police.
The answer, according to Biden and the Democrats, is always more gun control and never more criminal control.
Citizens are unsafe on the streets of our cities, and our children are unsafe in our public-school classrooms. Families are facing hostile environments in schools as teachers are using Critical Race Theory to educate students about American history. Instead of celebrating the greatness of our founding documents and the uniqueness of our system of government, teachers are demonizing our Founding Fathers and casting blame on white Americans for racism and unfair treatment of minorities. In many schools, students are being separated by race, and white students are being made to feel guilty for the color of their skin. While parents are expressing their anger, too many school boards remain committed to the divisive curriculum.
4. Plague. Schools are also one of the focal points of the insane battle over how to deal with the COVID pandemic. Teacher unions and Biden officials are touting masks in classrooms, while a growing number of parents are fighting this nonsense at school board meetings across the country.
The Biden administration is not stopping at mask mandates but is considering COVID vaccine requirements for all Americans. The Defense Department will be requiring vaccines for all the members of the respective branches. This obligation will be enforced starting in mid-September.
The president has also mandated vaccinations for members of the United States Department of Veterans' Affairs. Surely other government agencies will face similar mandates in the foreseeable future.
Whenever he addresses the media, Biden pushes vaccinations on the public. He implies that unvaccinated Americans are not only unpatriotic but also contributing to the deaths of their fellow citizens. In addition, the president is actively encouraging businesses to implement vaccine mandates at their workplaces.
All these initiatives are quite disturbing, as Americans should have medical privacy and the right to make their own health decisions. In a "free" country, a citizen should not be forced to inject any sort of experimental vaccine into his body. Americans should have the freedom to say "no," without any negative repercussions.
Individually, each of the four horsemen of the Biden apocalypse is extremely worrisome. Unfortunately, Americans are facing all four of them simultaneously.
In addition, we must deal with a mentally incompetent president; a biased press; social media sites that censor conservatives; and a "woke" corporate, entertainment, and Big Technology culture that are promoting these dangerous trends in our country.
It is crunch time for America, and "We the People" must stand up to protect our rights, our families, and our futures. This Biden agenda must be stopped immediately. Otherwise, we can say goodbye to America and say hello to Venezuela.

Arizona Gov. Ducey Calls for the Resignation of DHS Chief Mayorkas
Arizona’s Governor Doug Ducey is calling for the resignation of President Joe Biden’s border chief, one day after border officials admitted they allowed a record 117,000 migrants to enter the United States in August.
Ducey said in a Friday statement:
It is time for Secretary Mayorkas to resign, and for him to be replaced with someone who will tell the American people the truth publicly, stand up to the radical activists inside the Biden-Harris administration and once and for all end the crisis at the southern border. The safety of Arizona and our entire nation depends on it.
Ducey’s press statement referred to leaked August 12 comments from Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden’s pro-migration secretary at the Department of Homeland Security. Ducey’s press statement began:
Governor Doug Ducey today called for the resignation of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas following explosive leaked comments in which Mayorkas called the border crisis “unsustainable,” said “these numbers cannot continue” and said “if our borders are the first line of defense, we’re going to lose.”
….
Mayorkas also said he was “very well” aware that portions of the border came close to “breaking” recently, according to news reports. “We can’t continue like this, our people in the field can’t continue and our system isn’t built for it,” Mayorkas reportedly said.
The Fox News report only provided fragments of Mayorkas’s August 12 comments to border officers.
However, Mayorkas has repeatedly argued in public that he is trying to control the border crush by legalizing even more migration — even though that policy will allow U.S. employers to hire more low-wage migrants instead of Americans, and will allow landlords to rent more housing to groups of migrants at inflated prices.
At his August 12 press conference, for example, Mayorkas said:
In the coming days, our department will announce that we are making changes and improvements to how we process asylum claims. We continue to rebuild our immigration system to ensure fairness and promote equity.
The reference by the Cuban-born Mayorkas to “fairness and … equity” refers to his pr0gressive policy of putting migrants’ interests ahead of Americans’ concerns. So far, Mayorkas has shown no concern for the many millions of Americans who are worried about their jobs and wages, their rents and schools, their children’s future, and their increasingly threatened political status in their own country.
Ducey’s statement continued:
Today we are seeing the truth of what’s playing out behind closed doors — what the federal government isn’t telling the American people. Chaos, dysfunction and a defeatist attitude has infiltrated the highest level of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This administration has completely lost control of the border. And with his comments, Secretary Mayorkas demonstrated that he fully understands the catastrophe playing out at the border, and yet he lacks the skill, ability and will to address it adequately.
“The buck must stop somewhere. A defeatist is not what we need when it comes to fighting for border security. It is time for Secretary Mayorkas to resign, and for him to be replaced with someone who will tell the American people the truth publicly, stand up to the radical activists inside the Biden-Harris administration and once and for all end the crisis at the southern border. The safety of Arizona and our entire nation depends on it.
Ducey’s statement also included a record of his efforts to curb migration into his state:
Governor Ducey in April declared a state of emergency and deployed the Arizona National Guard to the state’s southern border. The Governor also convened the State Emergency Council to immediately fund the mission with $2.5 million as well as $200,000 for county sheriffs.
…
In June, Governor Ducey and Texas Governor Abbott requested all U.S. governors send available law enforcement resources to the border. Governor Ducey joined 19 fellow governors in May calling on President Biden and Vice President Harris to reverse their destructive border policies.
Overall, investors and business coalitions want to import more migrants — even impoverished, ill, aging, or criminal migrants — because the migrants spike consumer sales, boost rental rates, cut wages, minimize management hassles, and so raise profits and stock values. The migrants also serve as clients for Democrat-run welfare agencies, and eventually, as voters for Democratic candidates.
But migration damages ordinary Americans’ career opportunities, cuts their wages, raises their rents, curbs their productivity, contradicts their political preferences, and fractures their open-minded, equality-promoting civic culture. Migration also widens the growing economic gap between interior states and coastal states.
For many years, a wide variety of pollsters have shown deep and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.
This opposition is multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity Americans owe to each other.
The voter opposition to elite-backed economic migration coexists with support for legal immigrants and some sympathy for illegal migrants. But only a minority of Americans — mostly leftists — embrace the many skewed polls and articles pushing the 1950’s corporate “Nation of Immigrants” claim.
