President Joe Biden’s deputies asked a judge to suspend his enforcement of the nation’s immigration law, saying they want to extract more migrants from Mexico and Central America.

The Texas-based federal judge, Matthew Kacsmaryk, responded the next day, August 17, with “Denied.”

The legal exchanges started on August 13, when the judge gave the federal government seven days to detain all new migrants or send them back to Mexico under President Donald Trump”s Migrant Protection Protocol (MPP) rules.

On August 16, the administration asked the judge to delay his seven-day rule, pending the eventual outcome of appeals by government lawyers.

The Biden administration wants to “strengthen legal pathways for those who choose to or must migrate,” said one August 16 legal response by Ricardo Zuniga, a state department official now overseeing Central American issues. To achieve that goal, Zuniga said:

The United States must establish long-term strategic partnerships with the governments in the region to catalyze structural change … [and create] a comprehensive policy framework to address regional migration that includes adequate protection, expanded legal pathways, and regional solutions.

[If the judgement is upheld] regional partners and international organizations will be less inclined to cooperate with the U.S. in implementing its broader long-term foreign policy goals, including the Root Causes Strategy and the Collaborative Migration Management Strategy.

On July 30, Breitbart News described the Collaborative Migration Management Strategy. The policy seeks to extract workers and consumers from poor countries via a series of regulation-created migration routes, regardless of Congress’ immigration law.

The August 16 filing came in response to Kacsmaryk’s ruling on August 13. The judge ruled:

By ignoring its own previous assessment on the importance of deterring meritless asylum applications without “a reasoned analysis for the change [ending MPP],” Defendants acted arbitrarily and capriciously.

Kacsmaryk also directed officials to comply with the law requiring the detention of migrants until they win their asylum claims:

Accordingly, Section 1225 provides the government two options vis-à-vis aliens seeking asylum: (1) mandatory detention; or (2) return to a contiguous territory. Failing to detain or return aliens pending their immigration proceedings violates Section 1225.

Without MPP, Defendants only remaining option under Section 1225 is mandatory detention. But DHS admits it does not have the capacity to meet its detention obligations under Section 1225 because of “resource constraints.”

Under these particular circumstances, where Defendants cannot meet their detention obligations, terminating MPP necessarily leads to the systemic violation of Section 1225 as aliens are released into the United States because Defendants are unable to detain them.

The federal’s government’s post-2009 refusal to comply with the detention rule has caused a massive inflow of illegal migrants into Americans’ labor and housing markets.

This massive inflow has effectively stolen much wealth from working Americans by delivering at least 2 million wage-cutting migrant workers to employers and investors located mostly in the wealthy coastal states.

“If DHS doesn’t detain aliens who enter illegally, more aliens will enter illegally,” said an August 18 statement from the Center for Immigration Studies:

Want proof? Up until December 2009, DHS complied with the congressional detention mandate. That month, then-ICE Director John Morton issued a directive that aliens who had received a positive credible fear assessment [from a border officer] should generally be released on parole.

Asylum officers completed 5,173 credible fear cases in FY 2009, before the Morton parole directive went into effect. Those completions grew to 8,926 in FY 2010, 11,716 in FY 2011, and 13,607 in FY 2012, before increasing by almost 280 percent, to 36,454, in FY 2013.

By FY 2019, [Asylum Officers] AOs were adjudicating more than 102,000 credible fear claims, after receiving more than 105,000, as smugglers discovered and exploited the “credible fear” loophole that allowed illegal migrants to live and work in the United States indefinitely.

On August 16, the administration asked the judge to lift his seven-day requirement, saying the government no longer has the ability, or diplomatic arrangements, to detain the record flood of migrants:

The Court’s injunction undermines the Executive Branch’s constitutional and statutory authority to enforce the immigration laws and set immigration priorities. The injunction also imposes deadlines that Defendants cannot meet on their own, because any plan to re-implement the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) would necessarily require close cooperation with the Government of Mexico … the court’s order threatens significant disruption to the United States’ relationship with Mexico and Central American nations.

The federal government policy of extraction migration pulls many workers, consumers, and renters from poor countries for use in the U.S. economy.

The economic policy inflates the labor supply and boosts consumer spending, so aiding companies and investors. Except for 2019 and 2020, the policy has been underway for decades, even as the government underfunded its partial defense of the border.

Migration damages ordinary Americans’ career opportunities, cuts their wages, raises their rents, curbs their productivity, shrinks their political clout, widens regional wealth gaps, and wrecks their open-minded, equality-promoting civic culture.

The case is Texas v. Biden, No. 2:21-cv-00067-Z in District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

Report: TV Networks Hide Joe Biden’s Mass Migration

The nation’s TV networks have almost stopped covering President Joe Biden’s very unpopular mass migration crisis at the southern border, according to a study by Rich Noyes at the Media Research Center (MRC).

“The illegal immigration influx along the U.S. southern border has worsened every month since President Biden took office, but the liberal broadcast networks have essentially stopped covering the crisis,” the MRC report said, released August 16. The report continued:

But while the reality along the border is worse than ever, coverage of the crisis on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts has slowed to a trickle: Just four minutes and 20 seconds for the entire month of July (including weekends), down an astonishing 96 percent from the Biden-era peak of 113 minutes in March.

And on August 12, when the terrible July border statistics were released, none of the three broadcast evening newscasts bothered to even mention them — but all three found time for the latest developments in the legal soap opera surrounding singer Britney Spears.

The silence has helped preserve support among non-political suburbanites — especially among university-educated women — for President Joe Biden’s destructive migration policies, according to multiple polls.

The network silence also has helped establishment GOP politicians downplay the huge pocketbook damage caused by Biden’s immigration.

Amid the urging of populist-minded Republican leaders, such as Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), GOP leaders prefer to spotlight other issues — such as inflation, crime, and border chaos — that are more acceptable to the GOP’s business donors.

Business advocates for greater migration claim much credit for reshaping the TV networks’ coverage since March.

Biden’s polls were damaged in February and March because TV networks were covering the border chaos with the same critical themes and emotional style that they had developed during former President Donald Trump’s administration.

But business-funded lobbyists and their dependent progressive advocacy groups helped change the TV coverage, according to a May briefing given by Todd Schulte, the president of Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us lobby group for greater migration. Schulte, whose group has had several former advocates working in Biden’s White House, said:

I think you saw during that big spike [of bad publicity] was that the administration was allowing the opposition in a very crass and gross way to define the [debate]. And so we have really seen as a sea change over the last two months, as you’ve seen the administration go on offense … Not only have they regained their footing on this but they got a big rebound of the polls on immigration. And look, so I’m going to be clear, [it was] a hard, hard, hard March. And so I think the big thing [is that] … defining the frame of what this means [is] the single most politically important thing you can do.

Noyes’ research shows the impact of the activists’ lobbying:

This sag in TV news coverage began in April, as the amount of evening news coverage of the border surge dropped 61% (to 44 minutes), even though the situation on the border had actually deteriorated compared to March. TV news continued to tune out in May, with just 26 minutes of coverage minutes of coverage that month, although once again the official numbers showed an increase in border crossings.

Schulte’s deputies also explained how they worked with Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to bring deported migrants to their migrant families in the United States. The goal was to generate staged, dramatic, and emotional videos for the evening news that would push aside videos of chaotic border scenes.

“Some of the family reunifications that we saw that sort of changed the coverage in May of this year and started humanizing what exactly is happening,” said Xochitl Hinojosa, a director at FWD.us’s PR firm, Bully Pulpit Interactive. She spoke during Schulte’s May 26 video presentation to Zuckerberg-tied amnesty campaigners.

Noyes, the MRC research director, tracked that emotional coverage. “They all did stories about the first round of these reunions, so they are taking the bait, and, and giving them the [favorable] settings that they want,” he told Breitbart News.

For the TV networks, migration is presented as a civil rights issue for migrants, Noyes said, adding:

They don’t say it flat out mean because it’s illogical to say someone violating the laws has a civil right to do so. But they do have tremendous sympathy for one side, and it’s all about the well-being … the human interest of those who are trying to come across, and [shows] very little about the consequences to the nation or the [American] people.

The TV networks largely ignore the concerns of Americans, Noyes said. Media coverage “is organized around the plight of those who would immigrate and doesn’t really distinguish between legal and illegal,” he added.

The networks do need to show drama, but they tend to highlight drama that helps and pleases Democrat-leaning viewers, he added. “They cheer at some things; they jeer at other things,” Noyes said. “It is ideological but …  [but] it’s much more tribal and gut as well,” for the political and emotional needs of the media’s allies and the left-leaning portions of their audiences, he said.

For the TV networks, “the immigrants are always the good guys — there are no bad immigrants,” he said.

This skew is partly driven by their customers’ demand for news they prefer, Noyes said, adding:

The audience themselves will almost trap the journalists — [Many viewers] only want to hear their team’s news.  They watch reports on politics from the perspective of a home team, like they would in sports.

The major TV networks are owned by giant corporations which are owned by influential investors. Those corporations and investors have a financial interest in importing more TV viewers who can be sold to advertisers. They also have a shared interest in shutting down any criticism of the H-1B and other visa worker programs that import lower-wage, mid-skilled foreign graduates for the technology jobs needed by U.S. graduates.

Despite the media blackout, the public trust in the Democrats’ handling of immigration issues is declining — giving the GOP leaders a huge populist opportunity if they choose to override their donors’ demands.

A Morning Consult poll taken August 8-9 with 1,996 registered voters, for example, showed that only 26 percent of political independents said they trust congressional Democrats to handle the immigration issues. In contrast, 45 percent said they trust Republicans — and, more importantly — 30 percent of the independent respondents indicated they were on the fence by declaring they “don’t know” or have “no opinion.”



140 Migrants Including 80 Unaccompanied Minors Dumped in Arizona Desert near Border

Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended a group of 140 mostly Guatemalan migrants after human smugglers put them into the Arizona desert. The group included more than 80 unaccompanied children.

Tucson Sector Chief Patrol Agent John Modlin tweeted a photo showing a large group of migrants being apprehended at the Arizona border with Mexico on August 18. The photo shows the illegal border crossing occurred where no physical barrier to pedestrian crossings is in place. The border consists only of a vehicle barrier.

Modlin said the agents apprehended more than 140 migrants. The mostly Guatemalan migrants included more than 80 unaccompanied minors who can be seen gathered on the left side of the photo.

In July, Tucson Sector agents apprehended nearly 18,000 migrants — an increase of more than 220 percent over the same month in 2020. Those apprehensions included 14,262 single adults (up 184 percent), 1,715 Family Unit Aliens (up 837 percent), and 2,000 Unaccompanied Alien Children (up 408 percent), according to the latest Southwest Land Border Encounters report recently released by CBP officials.

Since the beginning of Fiscal Year 21, which began on October 1, 2020, Tucson Sector agents apprehended 156,756 migrants (a 208 percent increase over the same period in FY2020). Those apprehensions included 132,312 single adults (up 271 percent), 9,937 Family Unit Aliens (down 4.7 percent), and 14,507 Unaccompanied Alien Children (up 198 percent).

These figures make the Tucson Sector the third busiest sector in terms of migrant apprehensions after illegal crossings between ports of entry. The Rio Grande Valley Sector leads the nine southwest border sectors is more than 412,000 apprehensions. This is followed by the Del Rio Sector’s record of 182,593 apprehensions. El Paso falls to fourth place with 155,882 apprehensions so far this year.

While we’re watching all the terrible chaos break out in Afghanistan, His Fraudulency Joe Biden and the Democrats are also serving up plenty of chaos right here at home.

That’s not to say we shouldn’t keep an eye on Afghanistan, not with thousands of American civilians trapped behind enemy lines after a jihadist takeover. But let’s do two things at once and remember all the chaos Joe Biden and the Democrat party are wreaking on the home front.

You know, when Donald Trump was president, all that chaos was mostly manufactured by the fake news media; that chaos was fabricated by a Deep State determined to use lies (like the Russia Collusion Hoax and the Ukraine phone call) to foment a coup. Granted, some chaos was created by Trump himself and his mercurial personality.

Still, the chaos we’re now seeing is all a result of Joe Biden and a feckless, hapless, and totally incompetent Democrat party — and it’s real, very real.

Afghanistan Chaos

The withdrawal in Afghanistan did not have to be this way. Biden did not have to break Trump’s deal with the Taliban for a May 1 withdrawal. Biden did not have to remove our troops before every American was safely evacuated. He did not have to leave behind billions of operational U.S. weapons for the Taliban to pick up. He did not have to choose Summer to withdraw when the Taliban are fully operational, instead of Winter when the Taliban are scattered around waiting out the cold weather at their respective homes.

As a result, we now have thousands of American civilians trapped in a terrorist hell being told by their own government that they are on their own.

(Photo by Wakil Kohsar / AFP) (Photo by WAKIL KOHSAR/AFP via Getty Images)

Economic Chaos

Biden inherited a recovering economy and decided to strangle it with a lunatic amount of government spending that created record inflation. As a result, all the wage gains during the Trump years have been wiped out by an explosion in the cost of life’s most basic necessities: food, housing, and energy.

Gasoline alone is up a dollar a gallon, which is a brutal tax on the working poor.

Nevertheless, Biden keeps spending, kills oil pipelines, and refuses to allow oil exploration.

And now all signs point to a coming recession.

Border Chaos

Biden has opened up our southern border to anyone who wants to come in, regardless of whether or not they are vaccinated or infected. As a result, we currently have the worst southern border crisis in decades after Trump had pretty much solved the problem and stabilized it.

Coronavirus Crisis

According to the CDC’s own math, the  Trump vaccine is working about as well as anyone could have dreamed, and yet Biden has lost total control of the messaging. As a result, masks, panic, and the economic devastation that comes with the panic have returned.

The fear-porn peddlers have turned a nothing breakthrough issue for the vaccinated into a false crisis that says the vaccine doesn’t really work.

What an unforced error.

Crime Crisis

Violent crime is up, and in many cases, way up, in almost every major Democrat-controlled city. But, again, this is another thing that did not have to happen. But after Democrats embraced the domestic terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter, emptied prisons, basically legalized rioting, and ended bail, all the gains against violent crime over the last two decades have been erased.

Overseas Chaos

It’s not just Afghanistan. After years of Middle East stability under Trump (including peace treaties), rockets are again being fired into Israel, Islamic terrorists are emboldened by Biden’s capitulation in Afghanistan, as are the Chinese and Iranians.

The world is much less safe than it was seven months ago, and America is not only less safe, it is less free.

The Days of “Catch and Release” May Be Numbered
Judge moves “to prevent the continued systemic violation” of the law

Washington, D.C. (August 17, 2021) - A Center for Immigration Studies analysis examines the decision by a federal judge to block the Biden administration’s termination of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), better known as “Remain in Mexico”. The court made clear that the administration has three choices: Detain illegal migrants, remove or expel them, or send them back across the border. Crucial to the judge’s decision was section 235(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which requires that aliens be detained until they are granted asylum (or other relief) or are removed.

Andrew Arthur, the Center’s resident fellow in law and policy and author of the analysis, said, “If Judge Kacsmaryk’s 'Remain in Mexico' order stands (and it should), the days of 'catch, release, and disperse into the interior of the United States' at the Southwest border are numbered. And the migrant surge there will subside, because if they cannot be free in the United States, few migrants will make the trip to begin with.”

MPP was implemented in January 2019 in response to the surge of aliens coming to the border for whom there was not sufficient detention space and allowed DHS to return non-Mexican migrants caught entering illegally or without proper documentation back to Mexico to await removal hearings. They were then paroled into the United States long enough to apply for asylum, while the Mexican government agreed to provide them with protection for the duration of their stays there.

The Biden administration terminated MPP despite the continued lack of detention space – there are about 2,500 “family unit” spaces, but more than 308,000 migrants in “family units” (FMU) have been apprehended at that border this fiscal year. Just short of 288,000 of these families have come in the six months since the inauguration.

MPP removed the enticement of a quick passage for migrants — mainly from the Northern Triangle — to this country with the expectation of entering illegally with weak and/or fraudulent asylum claims. In January 2019, DHS found that 90 percent of asylum claims by nationals of the Northern Triangle countries were denied.

Their cases nonetheless clogged the immigration court system, making it much more difficult for aliens with valid persecution claims to be granted asylum.

To ensure that the administration complies, the judge ordered it to provide him, on the 15th of every month, monthly totals of aliens encountered at the Southwest border, the number expelled under Title 42 or the INA, its total detention capacity and usage rate, the total number of applicants for admission, the total number of applicants for admission who were paroled, and the total number of applicants for admission who were released on parole “or otherwise”.

Study: More than 7-in-10 California Immigrant

Welfare

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/12/04/study-more-than-7-in-10-california-immigrant-households-are-on-welfare/

 

More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals.

The latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that about 72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants use one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the number one immigrant-receiving state in the U.S.

Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of households headed by native-born Americans use welfare in California.

All four states with the largest foreign-born populations, including California, have extremely high use of welfare by immigrant households. In Texas, for example, nearly 70 percent of households headed by immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare. Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of native-born households in Texas are on welfare.

In New York and Florida, a majority of households headed by immigrants and noncitizens are on welfare. Overall, about 63 percent of immigrant households use welfare while only 35 percent of native-born households use welfare.

President Trump’s administration is looking to soon implement a policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the mass importation of welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public charge” rule whereby legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the past, including using Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.

The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.

As Breitbart News reported, the majority of the more than 1.5 million foreign nationals entering the country every year use about 57 percent more food stamps than the average native-born American household. Overall, immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizen households and 44 percent more in Medicaid dollars. This straining of public services by a booming 44 million foreign-born population translates to the average immigrant household costing American taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare.

Sex Offenders, Gang Members Arrested After Crossing Texas Border

Border Patrol agents and CBP officers in South Texas arrested multiple deported sex offenders, a fugitive accused of rape, and two MS-13 gang members. The arrests come as agents in Texas-based border sectors face a massing surge in migrants illegally entering the United States.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer assigned to the Colombia-Solidarity Bridge in Laredo, Texas, on August 18 observed a vehicle approaching for inspection and entry into the U.S. The officer referred the driver to a secondary inspection area for investigation, according to information received from CBP officials.

During a secondary inspection, officers conducted a biometric background search and identified one man as Jose Jorge Romanis Beltran, a 28-year-old Mexican national. The search of the criminal databases uncovered an active felony warrant from Bernalillo County, New Mexico.

The fugitive is wanted on a charge of rape — strong-arm, officials stated. New Mexico law defines “strong-arm” rape as the use of force by the attacker without the use of a weapon.

CBP officers confirmed the active arrest warrant and arrested the fugitive. They turned the Mexican national over to the Webb County Sheriff’s Office where he will await extradition to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office in Albuquerque.

Border Patrol agents assigned to the Hebbronville Station on August 15 arrested a group of 11 migrants on a farm located southwest of Mirando City, Texas, according to information obtained from Laredo Sector Border Patrol officials. During processing, the agents identified one of the men as Israel Hernandez-Valente, a 42-year-old Mexican national.

A criminal database search revealed a previous conviction for Indecency with a Child, Sexual Contact in 2017, officials stated.

Two days earlier, Laredo South Station agents arrested a group of ten migrants in south Laredo. During processing, the agents identified one of the men as Juan Martinez-Martinez, a 33-year-old Mexican national. Court records indicate Martinez-Martinez has an extensive criminal history. His criminal record includes a conviction in Arkansas for Sexual Assault in 2009, the report revealed.

Agents turned both men over to U.S. Marshall’s Service deputies to await prosecution for illegal re-entry after removal. If convicted, the two men could face up to 20 years in federal prison.

Further south along the Texas border, Rio Grande Valley Sector agents apprehended two members of the hyperviolent transnational criminal gang, MS-13.

McAllen Station agents working the border near Mission, Texas, on August 14 apprehended a group of migrants after they illegally entered the U.S. from Mexico, officials reported. During processing, agents identified one of the men as a 44-year-old Salvadoran national who is a confirmed MS-13 gang member. A records check uncovered a conviction by a California court in 1996 for murder. That same year, he received a conviction for being an accessory to a felony. For those crimes, he received sentences of three years each and was later deported. In 2005, a federal court convicted him of illegal re-entry after deportation. For that, he received a sentence of 71 months — nearly double that of the sentence he received for murder by the California court.

On August 16, Falfurrias Station agents found another MS-13 gang member while patrolling the ranches near the U.S. Highway 281 immigration checkpoint. Agents confirmed he is an MS-13 gang member who had previously been deported from the U.S.

“U.S. Border Patrol has arrested 8,531 criminal migrants this fiscal year,” Border Patrol officials stated. “RGV agents apprehended more than 1,700 of those migrants.”

Texas Sheriff’s Deputies Rescue Suffocating Migrants from U-Haul Truck

On Monday, a dispatcher working for the Refugio County Sheriff’s Office (RCSO) answered two 911 emergency calls coming from a local convenience store. The distressed callers described cries for help and banging noises coming from the back of a U-Haul cargo rental truck.

Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched and located the truck. The deputies found 34 migrants trapped inside the cargo compartment. According to the RCSO deputies, the passengers were suffering from severe dehydration and risked suffocation. The rear of the truck was extremely hot and unventilated, affording the migrants little air to breathe.

The group of 34 migrants consisted of mostly adult males, but the deputies noted some minors in tow. Due to the condition of the migrants, RCSO deputies summoned their county EMS and Volunteer Fire Department. The deputies also called for law enforcement backup and medical assistance from neighboring Victoria County.

Refugio County deputies transferred custody of the 34 migrants to Border Patrol for processing. The driver of the cargo truck was arrested and now faces charges of Smuggling of Persons with Serious Bodily Injury and/or Likelihood of Death as well as Smuggling of Persons Under 18 Years of Age.

The charges, under Texas law, are considered second-degree felonies and carry a term of imprisonment ranging from 2-20 years, as well as a fine not to exceed $10,000. The charges can be upgraded to first-degree if serious bodily injury or death occurs.

Refugio County is located along the Texas Gulf Coast, 46 miles north of Corpus Christi. The county seat is more than 180 miles from the U.S.-Mexico Border.

West Texas Border Sector Sees 1400% Spike in Migrant Rescues

The Del Rio Sector of the Border Patrol is reporting a dramatic increase in the number of rescues since October, more than 1,850 overall. The number represents a 1,400 percent increase over 2020. The rescues, like other metrics reported by the agency, are increasing this year at a phenomenal pace and will most likely break any standing record.

The number of rescues represents a small portion of the overall apprehensions in the sector this year. As of July, the Del Rio Sector reported 182,593 migrant encounters since October. The rescues account for slightly over 1 percent of the total. In the agency, a rescue is counted when a migrant suffers serious injury, requires life saving medical treatment, or is in life-threatening peril during an encounter.

In the previous week since Monday, the sector is reporting 85 rescues related to heat or traumatic injuries on freight trains. Migrant apprehensions on rails have also increased substantially within the sector.

The agency has a long history of preparing for situations that require agents to respond to migrants needing life-saving care no matter the surroundings.

In 1998, the Border Patrol created an operational component aimed at reducing migrant deaths along the southwest border. The BORSTAR unit, short for Border Search, Trauma and Rescue, is comprised of Border Patrol agents who are provided with specialized training in swift water rescue techniques, air medical deployment, and mountain rescues.

Rank-and-file Border Patrol agents, although lacking in the specialized training to conduct rescues, account for many saves annually. Most are prepared to administer first aid, control bleeding, and perform CPR. They enter waterways to prevent migrant drownings, treat for temperature related illnesses, and in some cases, carry migrants out of remote areas when they are too injured to walk.

The accuracy of the metric is at risk of being impacted, however, by the enormity of the challenges facing the agency. As the Border Patrol struggles to process, feed, and care for the largest influx of migrants in decades, routine patrols in most areas of the southwest border have been reduced to all-time lows. In the Del Rio Sector, most areas are void of any significant Border Patrol field presence.

As the Border Patrol is forced to reduce patrols, the number of rescues may tend to flatten as no agents are in remote areas—potentially leading to more discovered bodies in exchange.
