10,864 Venezuelans Pour Into Texas Border Region, Up From 135 Last Year
Epoch Times ^ | June 7, 2021 | Charlotte Cuthbertson

“In just the last 7 days, our agents have encountered over 5,800 migrants from 29 different countries,” Del Rio Sector Border Patrol Chief Austin Skero wrote on Twitter on June 4. “During this same time, 63 smuggling attempts were caught on our highways.”

Many Venezuelans told The Epoch Times they flew to Cancún then Monterrey, in Mexico, before crossing the river into Del Rio. Some came via Colombia. A large portion intend to live in Florida—in particular Orlando, Tampa, and Miami—where they already have family members.

See article where Texas judge just declared the border crisis "An Act of War" and is calling out the state militia. Residents in four counties are being threatened and assaulted and property being damaged and vital public services being co-opted by the Venezuelan illegals:

This is crazy, that’s a large number of people who will never assimilate. It’s a full scale invasion and needs to be treated as such.

Open season needs to be declared with rewards posted. It’ll stop those trying to come in and thin out those here. I don’t know of any other way, it’s crazy. If you don’t have borders, you don’t have a country.

Japan doesn’t have that problem. It’s not the island geography. It’s the island mentality. Everything is ‘out there’. Our only way to fix the problem here is to do what we did in the Dominican Republic in the 60’s. They’ll still want to come here but theywon’t be so desperate.

GOOD! These people know about Socialism—like the Cubans. They will not vote Democrat-Socialists. We should have let them come in as we do Cubans. Not all who cross from the south are future Democrat Voters. Many hate the idea of Abortion and are deeply religious.

We should indeed have programs in place allowing deserving Venezuelans to come to America. It is the educated and conservative minded citizens that want to escape.

But they have to arrive through those programs. Not sneak across the border uninvited.

Ruining the country, no way to assimilate at that high rate.

The ones escaping socialism in Venezuela are the ones that are most likely to assimilate.

You are wrong. These are the dregs of Venezuela. The exact type that voted for Hugo Chaves.

The middle class Venezuelans left their country years ago.

We are now getting the cradle-to-grave welfare parasites, coming here by the millions.

where they already have family members

Deport them all. Deport their family members, their hair dressers, their neighbors and their little Toto dogs, too.

Overstay your tourist visa in Japan and they’ll come after you.

That’s the plan!

I’ve always asked people, why is it so bad if white people want a piece of land to call their own? Why does the entire world always want to migrate to the predominately white lands?

It’s a war, that’s why, and while some migrate to escape their situations in a crap country, and join in to assimilate and grow in a western country, most just come like locusts.

When they get to NA and realize they can’t make it because it’s swamped and the markets are lopsided and real estate is too much etc, what then? We can’t let the entire world come to our doorstep, we have to learn to help them where they are.

Something will give.

I do not understand the thinking here.

11,000 Venezuelans fly into Mexico, jump the border in Texas, and they want to settle in Florida?

Why don't they get a USA tourist or student visa, fly into Miami, and just overstay their visa?

What's the scam here?

All 11,000 are not eligible for visas? Really?

I am thinking they must immediately get signed up for Food Stamps, subsidized housing, and temporary work permits if they surrender at the border?

I have the same question about the 100,000 Central Americans who jump the border every month.

Most of them are eligible for temporary visas. But, they pay thousands of dollars to gang smugglers even though they could buy a bus ticket to San Diego for a $100.

Their crazy choices must have a logical reason, but I have no idea what it is.

How are these people surviving in a strange country Where are they getting food, clothing and shelter? Where can a white guy who actually speaks fluent english, has a real education with skills that can be used to make a living, get free food, clothing and shelter? How do I get to these places? And I need a free phone plan to with unlimited minutes.

Obviously, I think we need to finish the wall and close the borders. But, that ain't happenin' under Biden. So, if they must come let them be anti-communist and anti-socialist. They would at least make great citizens.

Cubans are overwhelmingly conservative and Republican.
