Border crossings rise as US nears decision on asylum limits

SAN ANTONIO (AP) β€” About 7,000 migrants are being stopped crossing the border daily from Mexico, the U.S. Border Patrol chief said Tuesday, a sharp increase from February that comes as the Biden administration nears a decision on whether to end sweeping asylum restrictions designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Chief Raul Ortiz said 1,500 Cubans were stopped over the previous day, well more than double the daily average from February. He nodded when asked to confirm that about 7,000 migrants were being stopped, which compares with a daily average of about 5,900 in February.

The sharp increases, if sustained, may surpass levels of migration reached last year, in 2019 and other peak periods.

The Homeland Security Department says it is planning for three scenarios: current level of illegal border crossings, 12,000 and 18,000, an astounding number but one that officials said was simply to be prepared and not a projection.

The administration is particularly challenged by migrants from countries that have traditionally not sent such large numbers of people to the U.S., including Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Colombia.

And our Republican congresscritters still go to their $100 lunches, with their esteemed Demonrat colleagues, while the Republic cirles the toilet bowl.

"Your expense account or mine?"

Millions of low skill, uneducated parasites, coming to join the "Free S**t Army". We cannot recover from this.

How is diversity working out in China, Russia, Europe,
Asia...

There is no place on earth where ethnicity and diversity
is focused upon as a new religion, like here in the
United States.

The number one goal right now, is to reduce the percentage
of Whites in the United States to under 50.0%.

Folks, if they do that, you’ll see racism on a level you
never thought possible in a upper level ‘enlightened’
community.

The lights are going out on the White race. Just as well
describe it as it is.

Never has a group of people done so much for the advancement
of civilization, to be hated for it this much.

Yea, I believe so, barring a miracle.

We've had them before, but God may feel that we've wasted them.
