In other words, the number is probably at least double
Border agents confirm 1.2 million ‘gotaway’ migrants under Biden administration
U.S. border agents have confirmed that 1.2 million illegal migrants “got away” from authorities while crossing the border under President Biden’s administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources told Fox News on Sunday.
CBP tracks hundreds of thousands of migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico Border every month, but that stat does not include the number of known “gotaways,” or migrants who were detected by authorities but not apprehended. Since Biden entered office in January 2021, border crossings have exploded, and at least 1.2 million migrants successfully evaded authorities.
The first half of Biden’s four-year term saw monthly border encounters rise from 101,000 in February 2021 to 251,000 in December 2022, according to CBP stats.
This doesn’t even account for all the ones who were caught/voluntarily allowed themselves to be caught, then were released while waiting for their hearing, most of whom will simply not bother showing up for the hearing. Those who do and are denied asylum will simply disappear afterwards, rather than being immediately deported.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) saw an estimated 718,000 border encounters in the first 100 days of fiscal year 2023, which began October 1.
How many did they not see, and who are here illegally? The majority of the costs hit the taxpayers at the state, county, and local levels. Their services suffer. Their crime spikes. It’s their homes and cars getting broken into, their hospitals and clinics over-run, their streets being filthy, their grocery stores being looted, their schools suffering because Los Federales are slamming kids who cannot speak the language and do not have the same mores.
News Flash, FWIW:
After multiple years of work right on the border, take any number CBP gives you for apprehensions, and multiply it by 33 for number of illegal crossings.
IOW, if they caught three, they might have seen three more they didn’t catch, but there were another 94 they neither saw nor caught.
That’s from direct first-hand observations of how they work, and how many people we saw, watching 24/7 with thermal sights and NVGs, that they never even knew they’d missed, 24/7/365/years and years.
The official policy is that if they never saw them, they never happened, and their unofficial policy was that if they didn’t look, they’d never have to explain not seeing or catching them.
So take their report of annual apprehensions, for any year in the last 40, multiply that number by 33, and that’s how many illegals actually entered the country in any given year. You can take that ratio to the bank.
Trump’s Great Wall was a failure? The billions were wasted ?
Dear H:
The Great Wall that was never completed didn’t work.
Johnny-why isn’t Brandon requiring the illegals to be vaccinated? Or are they driving alone in their cars with their masks on as Joe waves them across the border?
How can a border wall that was deliberately not finished due to democrat refusal be “Trump’s Great Wall? So let’s see…you guys stop the completion of the wall then say it failed? Can you be that much of a fraud?
