    Let’s be clear here:

    We are ENCOUNTERING record numbers of migrants at the southern border and EXPELLING everyone who is not an unaccompanied child or have an acute medical conditions.

    So to be as clear as possible here:

    Yes, there is a record surge at the border but we are also expelling record numbers of migrants.

  3. There is a record number of migrants that we are NOT ENCOUNTERING.

    The Border Patrol is so overwhelmed- that even in better times- millions are entering the country un-encountered. And they are not going to be deported in your lifetime.

    Joe has invited the whole world to come- and they are coming.

    How sure are you that unenvountered migrants are at record levels? Where are you getting this information from?

  5. There is not a single border agent or resident or farmer in the area that does not report just seeing hundreds and hundreds crossing through areas all day and night where they used to just see some or many.

    Try again.

    You are not going to be able to pretty this disaster up. You and your ilk got yourself a full blown invasion in progress.

    Anecdotal evidence is fine. Show me what you got. Where are these reports?

  7. Saw a retired border patrol guy at the border on air yesterday in an area where he used to work. He points to the river and a crossing area and said he saw 500 people cross just while he was there the night before.

    Nevermind. We see your gig.

    Other things that are a complete frigging joke now are Biden and his press and homeland security grunts emphasizing that "they have been very clear. NOW is not the time to come." Yeh right. Your ilk have started a fire that they cannot put out.

    The estimate of illegals in this country jumps by about five million a week now. Mostly because of clowns that resist- as you are attempting to do- the number of illegals who entered undetected. Although, as always, the issue of visa overstays gets pushed aside and that number is massive too.

    I will note that the evening news of the major networks had stories showing dozens of illegal immigrants crossing the border (river) in recent days. Don't know if the border patrol eventually picked these people up -- but they are definitely crossing the border in significant numbers. Seeing that only a fraction of people crossing the border are caught historically (plus here), we can only assume that large numbers of illegal immigrants are also successfully crossing the border at times when we see apprehensions rising.

    I saw that too, only the border patrol was indeed waiting for them.

    Well we can certainly assume. However, CBP is noticing a surge in unaccompanied minors. This is not a run of the mill surge we are having so assumptions may not prove out.

    if you take the time, here is the CBP report for your review. Notice on the crossing by demographic page, the increase can be attributed almost entirely to unaccompanied minors:
