Migrants from around the world converge on remote Arizona desert, fueling humanitarian crisis at the border

Organ Pipe National Monument, Arizona — A remote desert region along the southern border has become a makeshift international arrivals area for thousands of migrants from Africa, Asia and Latin America hoping to work and reunite with family members in the U.S.

Over the past few days, large groups of migrant men, women and some families with children have spent the night in a makeshift staging ground in this rugged section of the U.S.-Mexico border, waiting for overtaxed border officials to process them. Many expect to be released into the U.S. after being vetted by local Border Patrol agents, who lack the resources and manpower to screen everyone in a timely manner.

Most of the migrant men hailed from African countries, including Guinea, Mauritania, Morocco and Senegal, as well as some nations in Asia like Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Syria. Some men had left their hometowns in Ecuador and other parts of Latin America. The families traveling with children were predominantly Mexican and Central American.

The chaotic and striking scenes at the outdoor staging area in the middle of the Arizona desert illustrate the dire humanitarian implications of the crisis along the southern border, where migrants have been arriving in greater numbers and from more countries than ever before in U.S. history.

For only the second time ever, Border Patrol apprehended more than 2 million migrants who entered the U.S. illegally in fiscal year 2023. Defying historical seasonal trends, illegal border crossings have spiked this month. Over the past several days, Border Patrol has processed near-record levels of migrants, making roughly 10,000 apprehensions every 24 hours, up from the 6,000 daily average in October, according to internal government data obtained by CBS News.

They could all go back home; which they never should have left in the first place.

The Border Patrol Bell Boys there carry bolt cutters with them to open up the door for the illegals.

“Most of the migrant men hailed from African countries, including Guinea, Mauritania, Morocco and Senegal”

And just remember kiddies, all of these people are Protected Classes, which means that they outrank you in jobs, education, housing aid, etc.

The instant they set foot in this country, they acquire godlike status, courtesy of our activist courts.

Wow, can they sling any more bull squeeze at us? That is championship level gaslighting.

We are so done for.

The masses don’t care, but this is the plan of the globalists.

Send out a backhoe and start digging rows of graves for them to see. Maybe they will decide to fun back home.

Katie Hobbs is right on that! The last election in AZ was pretty much a referendum on the border. Either the voters cared less or the election was really stolen. The USA can’t survive this like a stadium full equivalent of illegals a month.

This is Death By A Thousand Cuts, and we’re dying as a Nation. The talk radio guy, Michael Savage, was right: “Borders, Language, Culture”.

Many expect to be released into the U.S. after being vetted by local Border Patrol agents.

Here is the truth any Border Patrol Agent will confirm, DHS has no way to vet any of these illegal aliens.

Even if (almost never the case) the alien has a valid ID or passport we have no access to the source countries criminal database. What exactly are the BP agents suppose to check in order to vet these people, Wikipedia?

Unless the alien has been in the US before and has a criminal/immigration record or if the alien is on the terrorist watch list, the USBP has nothing to check against.

Unless the BP agent has specific, documented evidence of that the alien is ineligible for admission as a refugee he has to let them walk.

Remember this when the media and the dems says the aliens are screened and vetted before release.
