Illegal Immigration at 9X the Rate of 2017, Projected to Outpace Obama
Breitbart News ^ | 5/9/19 | John Binder

Posted on 05/14/2019 4:46:19 PM PDT by proust

Illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border last month was nine times the level of the same month two years ago and is projected to outpace every year when former President Obama oversaw immigration.

As Breitbart News reported, there were nearly 100,000 apprehensions of migrants, border crossers, and asylum applicants at the U.S.-Mexico border last month. This is nearly nine times the level of illegal immigration compared to April 2017, when just a little more than 11,000 border crossers were apprehended.

Likewise, projections by Princeton Policy researcher Steven Kopits reveal that the U.S. remains on track this year to outpace every year of illegal immigration overseen by Obama. At current illegal immigration levels, about 863,000 border apprehensions are expected for Fiscal Year 2019.

This is a level of illegal immigration at the southern border that has not been seen since the last years of former President George W. Bush.

Unreal.

Has to stop.

I know I blame Ryan & McConnell, but something has to be done, NOW.

AFRICANS are being shipped to Mexico and are at the Laredo border entry.

I think there are two reasons:

1. They want to get in, while they still can, before the wall is built.

2. Soros and the Dems re funding them and making them promises.

But we still should not let in any of them.

Coming for the 2020 census and rushing in before the Wall gets much further.

You better believe the Democrats are in on it.

It is not “immigration.” That is done legally with a defined process. This is an invasion. They are wearing us out, using up our resources, our money and our patience. Stop this nonsense.

Did anyone think the Kalergi plan would be defeated at the voting booth?

It is only going to get worse... At this point in time no real action to stop this invasion has been attempted... Lots of talk... Lots of promises... No action!

The wall is important in the long term but is not a solution for stopping the invasion by, soon to be, millions of these diseased invading scum...

If the tide is not turned this year and the invaders, already in the country, expelled, there can not be any solution in the ballot box to saving what's left of the Nation...

Tojo, Hitler, and Kruschev must be rolling with laughter in their graves...

Numbers dropped immediately following the election.
It wan’t until Democrats and Bush League Republicans started blocking all efforts at enforcement and talking about amnesty that the numbers hot back up.

Trump should declare an emergency, close the border, summerly expel all illegal immigrants, and tell the courts to go pound sand!

.... Well .... To be honest .............. When President Trump took office, he promised to end "Catch and Release" and attempted to do just that. At the time Migrants actually believed it was happening and apprehensions in April 2017 fell to a record low of 15,798.

...... BUT .... Since then, migrants learned that the U.S. can do almost nothing to stop them. And Now they have massively increased crossing the border in ever growing record numbers ....

All I can say I hope BPs percentage of apprehended illegal invaders has gone up.

If not, that means over 2 million + are NOT getting caught every year.

It really a national emergency that keeps on growing.

Hell they have been crossing our Southern border for at least a decade and a half. I caught my first one in '04 from Somalia.

Does this mean that under Obama the stats were skewed down to downplay the problem?

The hell with blaming Nancy and the democrats. This is 100% at the door of the GOP. They did absolutely NOTHING for two years.

Open borders is the natural twin sister of the free traders.

The democrats had ZERO ability to stop a GOP effort. But the dirty little secret is that they all oppose Trump. This is Paul Ryan and the Turtle, Cornyn, Graham, etc.

I got a letter today from the RNC noting that I have ignored their last several solicitations despite their providing me with membership cards for various placebos. I’ve tried to make them understand that as long as solicitations from Trump/Pence or anyone else give even a penny of my donation to the RNC, they go straight to the trash.

It isn’t the first time I’ve told them this. These bastards in the Senate and House are not on our side.
