Only an actual border can stop illegal immigration — preferably a border with a really high wall.
Whatever your view of immigration, there can be no doubt that the Biden administration’s border policies have been an abject failure. This is especially true of Title 42, the pandemic-era public health order that for the last three years, under both the Trump and Biden administrations, allowed border officials to expel illegal immigrants quickly back to Mexico.
Title 42 came to an end on Thursday when the Covid public health emergency officially ended, and its ending has coincided with what can only be described as absolute chaos along the U.S.-Mexico border this past week.
Border Patrol agents are now arresting more than 10,000 illegal immigrants every day. If you have no context for that figure, consider that in March 2019, at the onset of the last border crisis, Border Patrol was arresting 4,000 illegal immigrants a day. At the time, President Obama’s Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said, “I know that 1,000 [apprehensions] overwhelms the system and I cannot begin to imagine what 4,000 a day looks like.”
What 10,000 a day looks like is a humanitarian catastrophe. Put bluntly, Border Patrol has nowhere to put these people. If it keeps up for much longer, we’ll see a string of what amount to massive migrant camps appear across south Texas — think of the encampment of 15,000 Haitians under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas, in September 2021, multiplied many times over all up and down the border.
What 10,000 a day means is that our southwest border is collapsing. The Texas cities of Laredo, El Paso, and Brownsville have issued emergency declarations, as has New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who still refuses...

The Today Show just reported 60,000 in the last three days. There was no discussion of whether this was a temporary bump due to the lifting of Title 42 or the new normal. That's 20,000 a day or 7.3 million a year. My guess is that it will continue to ramp up. Why not?
We have lot’s of immigration laws.
Team 0bama ignores the Law
Want to end illlegal immigration once and for all? Hell all immigration.
End Birthright Citizenship
End all the bennies they get for coming over
Deny them any type of health care that requires payment.
En family reunification
Tax the bejesus out of remittance.
No school. No school breakfast and lunch.
I didn’t realize it was that easy.
Thanks for doing all that for us.
In fact, shoot them as they try to cross! Then maybe they’ll stop trying to come illegally!
Whether it is a success or a failure depends on the goal.
Evidently the goal is not what he thinks it is.
It doesn’t make any difference. The people living in this country are too chickensh*t to stop the invasion of their country. The jackasses living here deserve what is happening to their country and their children and grandchildren are going to hate them for it. Way to go dummies!
We don’t need any new laws, we don’t need some BS congressional bilateral solution.
We have laws, the laws are fine. All we need is the azzholes in charge is to follow them. Creating new laws won’t do a damn thing if they won’t follow the laws already on the books.
Maybe not shoot but I’m all for Flashbangs, Stinger grenades, CS and OC gas/balls.
Let Doctors Without Borders post up on the Mexican side, set up tents and care for all of them and deliver their babies.
paint Joe Biden and his Administration as the President who surrendered America’s border!"
I’m sure he isn’t doing it for nothing. He needs the money.
Every history book from now will show the Wanted Poster of who caused the invasion of the United States of America.
A group of NUNS were seen distributing food to migrants resting along the train tracks in Huehuetoca, Mexico, Friday as they look to board a freight train heading north as the mass influx continues.
Illegals were seen 'protesting' at dawn after the suspension of permits to transit through the Mexico
at the Provisional Attention Center of the National Institute of Migration, in Tapachula, Mexico

These illegals know where to go......for free handouts...when they arrive in the places they’re taken..... In Interviews they want to know where they can find churches. Also where stores are so they can ‘buy’ new clothes.
