4.9 Million Illegal Aliens Crossed US Border in 18 Months Since Biden Took Office: Report
Epoch Times ^ | August 21, 2022 | Rita Li

Nearly 5 million illegal immigrants have crossed U.S. borders in the 18 months since President Joe Biden took office, according to a new report.

A total of 4.9 million illegal aliens, including some 900,000 “gotaways” who evaded apprehension and have since disappeared into American communities, have entered the country by the end of July, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) said in a statement on Aug. 16.

“Roughly the equivalent of the entire population of Ireland has illegally entered the United States in the 18 months President Biden has been in office, with many being released into American communities,” FAIR President Dan Stein said in the press release.

He blamed Biden for putting the unprecedented surge down to external factors, not the administration’s own “sabotage” of immigration laws. After rolling back key Trump-era policies, Biden presided over the largest number of apprehensions of illegal immigrants at the U.S.–Mexico border in a calendar year in history, recording almost 1.9 million arrests last year.

“The endless flow of illegal aliens and the incursion of lethal narcotics pouring across our border will not end until this administration demonstrates a willingness to enforce our laws,” Stein said.

The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

New Surge Two million illegal aliens have entered the country in the first 10 months of this financial year, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). In June, more than 207,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended attempting to cross the U.S.–Mexico border, making this the highest number of June apprehensions in history.

Although July saw a slim decline in CBP encounters at the southwest border of nearly 200,000, it turned out to be the 17th straight month with more than 150,000 encounters, representing a 325 percent increase over the average number of July apprehensions under the Trump administration, the statement reads.

Among the over 213,000 illegal aliens deported from the border in July, only 37 percent of the arrests led to expulsions under Title 42—a 7 percent drop from last month. Border agents processed the majority of the rest under Title 8, which oftentimes lets illegal aliens be released into the U.S. interior while their cases sit in backlogged immigration courts.

The Biden administration announced it would end the Trump-era Title 42, a border policy put in place on public health grounds amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which it had been forced to keep in place owing to a lack of notice.

CBP also reported 10 individuals on the FBI’s terror watchlist were apprehended in July between ports of entry at the southwest border, pushing the total for the current fiscal year to 66.

Meanwhile, CPB seized 2,130 pounds of the synthetic opioid fentanyl last month, more than three times that intercepted in June, and topping the previous monthly record of nearly 1,300 pounds set in April.

It nearly equals the total amount of fentanyl confiscated throughout 2019.

5 million illegals + China buying American farmland = FARM LABORERS IN ADVANCE OF CHINESE TAKEOVER OF AMERICA

Kill off whitey with COVID AND the VACCINE/BOOSTERS while EXEMPTING ILLEGALS FROM TESTING OR VACCINES.

Couldn't be more OBVIOUS, right?

They bring in drugs and overwhelm our welfare, food, clothing, shelter, hospitals, education and criminal justice systems. Has anyone figured the cost of this?

4.9 million new MIVs since the communist takeover was completed...

The estimated monthly cost per MIV to the actual American taxpayers is about $3000...
Food cards/transportation/healthcare/education...etc...

The estimated total monthly cost to the actual taxpayers is:
4.9x106 x $3x103 = $14.7x109
For those in Rio Linda, that is $14,700,000,000 per month...

Then there are the additional costs for the 45-50 million MIVs already here...
This adds hundreds of billions more from their monthly costs PLUS the many billions of UNTAXED dollars they send back, annually, to the shitholes they came from...

Let’s compare net worth of those 3 before and after their time on congress 9I guess Kevin is still in). Regardless, those guys are scum, selling access to citizenship for money. Basically human trafficking for profit.

This number ONLY represents the ones that were caught.

BP has stated for years that they ONLY catch ONE in TEN.

These 4.9 million will suck up a lot of low cost housing.

The result will be an explosion tent cities

Move them all to Rehobeth Beach in Delaware so the locals can enjoy all of the “guests” their guy brought to us.

If the guy thought he was taking a Percocet or an Oxycodone, or that he was eating Skittles candy, THEN IT WAS NOT A DRUG OVERDOSE! It is then a case of INTENTIONAL POISONING! 300+ are poisoned every day, while Benedict Biden cruelly replaces the dead Americans with ILLEGAL ALIENS!!
