Rep. Green raises alarm over record 10 million migrant encounters under Biden

LAUREN TAYLOR: CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY – US CONGRESSMAN -DR. MARK GREEN- SAYS HE EXPECTS FEDERAL BORDER AUTHORITIES — UNDER THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION — TO HAVE ENCOUNTERED 10-MILLION MIGRANTS BY THE END OF THIS SUMMER.

IT’S A NUMBER THAT’S NEVER BEEN SEEN IN TWO-TERM PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATIONS, LET ALONE, ONE.

ACCORDING TO US CUSTOMS AND BORDER PATROL DATA, FEDERAL AGENTS ENCOUNTERED MORE THAN 248-THOUSAND MIGRANTS AT THE US’ SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN BORDERS IN APRIL. BRINGING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 TOTAL TO NEARLY 2 MILLION. .

AND SINCE PRESIDENT BIDEN TOOK OFFICE – MORE THAN 9-AND-A-HALF MILLION MIGRANTS HAVE BEEN ENCOUNTERED AT OUR NATION’S BORDERS.

“IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT WE ARE ON TRACK TO HIT 10 MILLION ENCOUNTERS NATIONWIDE BEFORE THIS FISCAL YEAR IS EVEN OVER — AND THAT DOESN’T COUNT THE ROUGHLY 2 MILLION OR MORE KNOWN GOT-AWAYS ON THIS ADMINISTRATION’S WATCH,” GREEN WROTE IN A STATEMENT TO THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER.

EARLIER THIS YEAR, GREEN INTRODUCED ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS FOR HIS HANDLING OF THE BORDER CRISIS.

THE HOUSE ULTIMATELY IMPEACHED MAYORKAS – HOWEVER, THE SENATE DID NOT HOLD A TRIAL.

IN THE DECADE LEADING UP TO BIDEN TAKING OFFICE, MONTHLY MIGRANT APPREHENSIONS WERE ANYWHERE FROM JUST OVER 11-THOUSAND MIGRANTS TO 133-THOUSAND.

ACCORDING TO CBP DATA, IN THE 43 MONTHS SINCE PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS SWORN IN – THE AVERAGE OF NUMBER OF ENCOUNTERS OF UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS EACH MONTH IS 198.7-THOUSAND.
