Meanwhile on the Northern border

 American Action News:

Federal authorities removed an Iranian national with ties to terrorism after he tried to enter the U.S. twice via the northern border, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said Thursday.

ICE removed the Iranian national to Canada, where he is a permanent resident and is wanted for assault charges, on Dec. 21, according to ICE. He first tried to enter the country through the Rainbow Bridge Pedestrian Walkway in Niagara Fall on Oct. 10, where he was refused entry and returned to Canadian authorities.

Two days later, Border Patrol arrested the Iranian man after he illegally crossed the northern border, according to ICE.

“The strong law enforcement partnership between ERO Buffalo and Canadian law enforcement authorities is imperative to increasing national security and preventing dangerous individuals from fleeing justice,” ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations [ERO] Buffalo Field Office Director Thomas Brophy said in a statement.

“The Canadian resident’s return to Canada to face charges is due to the dedicated officers on both sides of the border, working in tandem, to provide public safety for our communities,” Brophy said.

With a surge in migrant encounters at both the northern and southern border in recent years, federal officers at the ports of entry at both borders nabbed 564 individuals whose names appeared on the terror watchlist, while Border Patrol recorded 172 crossing illegally, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data.

I suspect what is happening at both borders is an attempt by Biden and many Democrats to try to change the demographics of the US for their political purposes.  That is why the Democrat-controlled Senate is upset with the now GOP-controlled House which is refusing to fund the Ukraine war effort until Biden does something to control the border.   The Democrats have to know that Sen. Kennedy is right when he says the open borders policy is unpopular with a majority of voters and that includes the Hispanic voters.  That is certainly the case in Texas.  It is also becoming unpopular in Democrat-controlled cities in the North where Texas Gov. Abbott has been busing illegals.
