It was deliberate; the only question is why

Border agents record shockingly-low number of illegal crossings, one week into second Trump presidency

Less [sic] than 600 people crossed illegally into the U.S. from Mexico on Sunday – a stunningly low number since President Donald Trump took office.

Sources tell Fox News that not a single one of the nine sectors received more than 200 crossings on Jan. 26, and the number of daily encounters only reached 582 in total. The Del Rio sector – which is the same sector that would sustain over 4,000 crossings per day during the height of the border crisis in December 2023 – only recorded 60 crossings.

For comparison, the daily number of border encounters during the final days of the Biden White House teetered between 1,200 to 1,400 per day. 

There was never any problem with securing our borders, it was merely Biden’s handlers’ deliberate decision to open them to the world. And as the criminals and terrorists swarmed in to mingle with our new welfare state “citizens”, those same handlers chose to let them stay. Again, why?

ICE Knew Where the Criminal Aliens Were--and Mayorkas/Biden Kept Them Free

David Strom:

The progress is remarkable, the resistance from local government officials notable, and the Pravda Media propaganda appalling as always. 

But one thing stands out to me as ICE sweeps up pedos, rapists, and other well-vetted model citizens: they are apprehending hundreds every day with the efficiency of an atomic clock ticking off milliseconds. 

Strom: As the leftists whine about invading schools (not happening) and mamacitas being terrorized by Tom Homan chasing them with cattle prods (not happening), the real story is that ICE and law enforcement knew all along where so many of these bad hombres were. 

Mayorkas, NGOs and churches, and local government officials were actively protecting the worst of the worst just because they preferred helping illegal aliens to protecting Americans. 

Think about that and let it sink in: ICE isn't grabbing up these guys in large-scale dragnets, sorting the wheat from the chaff. They are making targeted raids on specific, known bad guys, and yet the people weeping and whining claim the mantle of decency and compassion. 

Child rapists. Selena Gomez is crying because child rapists are being deported. Governor Pritzker is promising to impede ICE because murderers and terrorists will be kicked out of his state. Pritzker is actively lying in order to cover for violent illegal aliens, making it seem like Tom Homan is raiding elementary schools. He isn't. He has more important fish to fry. 

I have often said that Alejandro Mayorkas is not just or even incompetent; he is evil. Local, state, and the federal government knew where these people were and left them on the streets to terrorize people. We paid for their food, housing, and medical care in many cases, and in sanctuary jurisdictions, they rushed them out the back doors to prevent ICE from picking them up. 

…. Seeing how quickly border crossings have slowed and deportations have picked up, you can't escape the conclusion (not that we didn't already know this) that the border crisis AND the illegal alien crime spree was intended. Mayorkas knew exactly how to stop both. 

He simply chose not to.
