So legalize the illegal entry of 1.* million illegal unvetted immigrants a year. What a deal!
“So legalize the illegal entry of 1.* million illegal unvetted immigrants a year.”
You might be missing my thoughts. CBP’s total encounters along the southwest border in February 2024 were 189,922. Total encounters include U.S. Border Patrol encounters between ports of entry, as well as individuals who presented themselves at ports of entry. There are 50 places where people can cross the Mexico–United States border. So if the entry can be lowered to 5000 a day at 50 locations, that adds up to 100 a day total at all locations. Think that’s happening now?
On October 9, 2023, the Committee on the Judiciary
and Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, U.S. House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary released an interim staff report:
“The Biden Border Crisis: New Data and Testimony Show How the Biden Administration Opened the Southwest Border and Abandoned Interior Enforcement.”
The report revealed how, in the first 26 months of the Biden Administration, “DHS released at least 2,148,738 illegal aliens into the United States.” The Committee also reported how ICE officers had been forced to abandon interior immigration enforcement to process the flood of illegal aliens arriving in the ountry every day. The report’s findings were based on data from the beginning of the Biden Administration through March 2023.
So the possible 5K a day at the entire border, or around 100 a day at each entry location, is not an unacceptable number when over 6M illegals are on the float now with over 3M not having a get out date. So if 5000 a day are allowed in, that equals 1.8M a year coming in legally.
But that’s not the problem. Of the nearly 6 million illegal alien encounters from January 20, 2021, through September 30, 2023, at least 3,095,577 illegal aliens had no confirmed departure from the United States as of September 30, 2023.
So the number Johnson is after being only at entry points is just a way of getting everyone else made illegal and an excuse to get them caught and returned. Anmd thgt problem is in control of Biden with the decision to assist illegals, not legals.
