Haitians, Schmations, we're open to the world

override the parliamentarian!

NBC News (!) reports that 400,000 illegal could cross the border this month.

The current border crisis has been ongoing since the start of the Biden administration and having been to various parts of the U.S.-Mexico border, I can say it appears there is no end in sight. On top of the unrelenting flow of people and drugs, it could get much worse, so much so that even the mainstream media is starting to notice the glaring problem again.

NBC News reported as many as 400,000 illegal immigrants could cross over into the United States in the month of October, which is double of the already record-high encounters in June, July, and August, with each month reaching over 200,000 encounters along the southern border. The summer month's numbers do not include the illegal aliens who were able to avoid apprehension by Border Patrol, with officials estimating those numbers are also at all-time highs. [emphasis added. It’s always irked me that no one points out that we’re counting only those illlegals who choose to prezsent themselves at border checkpoints — how many prefer the casual anonymity of merely crossing somewhere else? Mohammed? Are you there?]

In comparison, U.S. Customs and Border protection encountered 71,946 people attempting to illegally enter the country in October 2020 and 45,139 people in October 2019.

The mainstream media’s memory doesn’t stretch so far, but I remember that back in April, Biden’s DHS chief defended the then-record number of illegals swarming the bordr by saying that the temperatures were still cool: “this will all slow down when hot, summer weather arrives”. Oops.
