The scope of Biden's irresponsible border polices leads to record illegals

 Washington Examiner:

An extraordinary number of immigrants are crossing into the United States from Mexico since early 2021, setting off a series of crises at the border as well as the interior of the country — the likes of which are unprecedented.

In the first year and a half of President Joe Biden ’s tenure, Border Patrol agents nationwide have arrested more people who came cross the border unlawfully than in President Barack Obama's two terms — an indication of the magnitude of the situation.

Border Patrol's 20,000 federal agents nationwide made 3,484,327 apprehensions of immigrants who were unauthorized to enter the U.S. in less than two years of Biden's presidency, compared to 3,384,816 apprehensions during the eight fiscal years that coincided with Obama's two terms in office. Some illegal immigrants tried more than once to cross, particularly during the pandemic, because agents immediately expelled many back to Mexico.

"We’ve never seen anything like this before ... the millions of people coming into our country and the women and children going through the abuse that they’re going through,” said Rep. Mayra Flores, a Republican whose district is on the South Texas border.

Federal agents have made 150,000 to 200,000 arrests each month over the past 18 months, mostly on the U.S.-Mexico border. Ten months into the government's 2022 fiscal year, the Border Patrol has apprehended 1,822,620 people — blowing past the 2021 record of 1,662,167.

"It's really been a perfect storm," said Ken Oliver, the senior director of the Texas Public Policy Foundation's Right on Immigration program in Washington. "There are no real breaks right now. The flow is only getting worse in terms of the numbers of countries involved."

Pressed about the unprecedented numbers, on pace to hit a record-breaking 2 million apprehensions this year alone, Vice President Kamala Harris maintained in an interview earlier this month that "the border is secure."
...

"We actually anticipated this," Oliver said. "When you facilitate massive amounts of migrants getting into the asylum line with mostly invalid claims, but they’re getting in — it's catch and release."
...

There is much more.

Biden is the best friend the Mexican cartels ever had.  They are making millions off of the migrants and they are using them to overwhelm the border patrol so that they can sneak dangerous fentanyl and other drugs into the US.  It is the most irresponsible border policy in history.  Biden's handling of the border crisis is an impeachable offense.
