N.A.F.T.A. BIDEN'S JOBS NUMBER - HERE THEY COME! - WATCH: Large Migrant Group Walks Across Biden Admin’s ‘Closed Border’ into Texas
Poll: Voters More Concerned About Border Crisis than War in Ukraine
United States voters believe by a 2-1 margin that dealing with the crisis on the southern border is more important than aiding Ukraine to resist Russian invaders, according to a Rasmussen Poll.
The poll surveyed 1,024 likely voters between Aug. 21 and 23, shows that 60 percent of respondents say that “getting the migrant crisis at the U.S. border under control” is more important for national security, while only 30 percent say “supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia” is the more important national security issue. Ten percent were not sure.

More Americans also think that the issues at the southern border are a “crisis.”
Sixty-five percent of voters think the United States–Mexico border is experiencing a “crisis,” while 24 percent say it’s not. Only 11 percent were not sure. These findings are essentially unchanged since May, Rasmussen said.
In other results, respondents felt that Republicans were more capable of handling the border problems, though only by a slight majority. Overall, 45 percent said they trust Republicans more to handle the crisis, while 42 percent still trust the Democrats on the issue. 13 percent were unsure. This has also remained unchanged, as a similar result was found in April.
Drilling down to party split, even 51 percent of Democrats agreed that the border problems are a “crisis.” 84 percent of Republicans agreed with that characterization. Also, 60 percent of respondents who do not identify with either party said the situation at the border is a crisis.
Unsurprisingly, Republicans (81 percent) and Democrats (79 percent) feel their own party can best handle these national security issues. But a majority of those who claim to be unaffiliated gave the GOP the edge, with 42 percent saying Republicans are better positioned to deal with national security, while 31 percent said they trust the Democrats on the issue.
Joe Biden came in for a drubbing on immigration, Rasmussen added. Only 33 percent say he has done a good job on immigration, while 42 percent gave him a poor rating.
There are also similar majorities across racial boundaries on the crisis. 56 percent of white respondents, 65 percent of black respondents, and 68 percent of other minorities say that the southern border is in crisis and is more important to deal with than Ukraine.
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
Border Patrol officials estimate approximately 590,000 migrants got away without being apprehended after illegally crossing the border. This estimate, described as “extremely conservative,” represents about a seven percent increase over the same period last year.
According to a source operating under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol officials estimate nearly 590,000 migrants got away without being apprehended since October 1, 2022. During the same period last year, agents reported approximately 550,000 got-aways.
Migrant “got-aways” are an estimate of migrants that are observed crossing the border and are not apprehended. A good number of these are detected by Border Patrol agents being out in the field to make these observations. Some others are observed crossing by camera operators or other detection equipment but no agents are available to make the apprehension. Still others are part of larger groups where only a certain number of the group were apprehended.
The El Paso Sector led the nation with approximately in August with approximately 8,000 got-aways. This was followed by more than 4,500 in the Tucson Sector and 3,500 in the San Diego Sector.
The source reported nearly 26,000 got-aways in August.
In some sectors like the Rio Grande Valley and Del Rio Sectors, officials reported approximately 1,400 and 2,500 respectively. These lower numbers could be a result of overcrowded detainment and processing centers that take agents off the line, the source stated.
The source reports that Border Patrol is holding approximately 20,000 migrants per day in detention and processing centers. This requires extra manpower to feed, care for, and transport these migrants. Also, large migrant group crossings tend to tie up all available resources in order to get the migrants out of the potentially deadly heat along the southwest border in the summer months.
The lower got-away numbers are contrasted by the migrant apprehension rate which approached 180,000 in August, Breitbart Texas reported. The Tucson Sector led the nine southwest border sectors with just under 48,000 migrant apprehensions. This was followed closely by the Rio Grande Valley Sector’s apprehension of slightly more than 46,000 migrants.

WATCH: Large Migrant Group Walks Across Biden Admin’s ‘Closed Border’ into Texas
EAGLE PASS, Texas — In what has become an almost daily occurrence, a large group of more than 100 migrants crossed the Rio Grande just north of Eagle Pass to surrender to awaiting Border Patrol agents during the early morning hours on Friday. Shortly after 4:00 a.m., Breitbart Texas watched as the large group of mostly family unit migrants approached a rallying point staffed by the Border Patrol, where they surrendered to claim asylum.
The migrant group consisted of adult males and females — many carrying infants and toddlers. According to a source within CBP not authorized to speak to the media, large groups have been crossing into the area north of the city daily, at almost the same hour.
“You can almost set your watch to it, around 5:00 am, we expect between 100 and 300 to show up at the same spot daily,” the source says. “We just wait for them, they just keep coming”
In the video, the migrants can be seen crossing a bridge over an irrigation canal just east of the Rio Grande. After fording the river, the migrants are guided to the rally point where the agents take a quick tally of the numbers in the group. On Friday, the agents separated the group based on nationality and family unit status and began taking basic biographical information.
According to the source, the large migrant groups consist of mostly Venezuelan, Cuban, and Nicaraguan citizens. The source told Breitbart the migrants are bringing children with them in hopes of avoiding removal and achieving a quick release into the United States to pursue asylum claims.
According to CBP, the number of migrant families being encountered along the southwest border has nearly doubled in the last several months. In July, more than 60,000 migrant family units were encountered by the Border Patrol nationwide compared to 31,266 in June. The source says the migrants are skilled at gaming any attempts to enforce immigration laws by finding loopholes to avoid removal.
“They realize that we can only detain children and infants for so long before we release them to a non-government shelter, that’s the first step to freedom in the United States,” the source added.
Despite repeated social media messaging by President Biden’s Department of Homeland Security advising the public “The U.S. border is not open to unlawful migration,” more migrant family units entered the country in July than in all of FY2020, when 52,230 were encountered. Between October and July, more than 425,000 migrant family units were encountered by the Border Patrol entering the United States between ports of entry.
According to unofficial reports obtained by Breitbart Texas, Border Patrol agents apprehended just under 180,000 migrants in August, an increase over July, signaling the migrant crossings are not likely to slow down anytime soon.
