Border chaos rises, undercutting Mayorkas’ claims of progress

[HARK!]

Border Patrol agents reported nabbing 132,652 people at the southern border in July, up 33% from June.

The Homeland Security Department released the numbers Friday afternoon, which is a standard Washington move to bury bad news.

Mr. Mayorkas has encouraged unauthorized migrants — those without a visa or other entry permit — to forgo jumping the border and instead schedule their arrival at a port of entry, where he uses his “parole” power to catch and release them.

The misery and lawlessness caused by the Biden administration on the borders is indescribable.

Harvest time nears, yes.

You could not destroy a nation and a culture any better if you tried... and they are trying hard.

yes - with all the terrorist's Biden has allowed into the Country, it is only a matter of time.

Cartel members, human trafficking, and fentanyl are causing great misery.

107,081 fentanyl deaths in 2022 alone.

This article from the Cato Institute might be of interest, it is also from 2022 so “timely”.

A poll .... good grief, a poll is like the left's science, only as good as how much was paid for it.

More fentanyl is being seized at points of legal entry, than between those points.

However:

Critics of President Joe Biden's border policies say the influx of migrants illegally crossing the border over the past 16 months has forced the Border Patrol to pull approximately half of its agents from the border to transport and process people it takes into custody instead, which is true. They have also stated that this has led to cartels being able to move more fentanyl easily because fewer agents are on patrol.

Is America’s immigration crisis causing the fentanyl epidemic? - Washington Examiner

More black market fentanyl is being seized from drug smugglers at the U.S.-Mexico border than ever before — an indication of just how much of the powerful powdery substance cartels are moving into the United States.Consequently, U.S. overdose deaths have skyrocketed — all while illegal migration...

Bottom line: Tremendous amounts of fentanyl are flowing into the US; because the Biden administration doesn't have control of the border.

The cartels are forcing Americans to use fentanyl?

Let’s try cutting demand by making more Americans happy to the point of eschewing opioid use.

The cartels are forcing Americans to use fentanyl?

What does that have to do the the Biden Administrations failed border policies?

Let’s try cutting demand by making more Americans happy to the point of eschewing opioid use.

Opiods seem to make them happy.

I've worked with police, judges, politicians, and the community, to stop the crime that is caused by opiod addiction. Do you realize how much property a heroin addict needs to steal each day, and sell for 10 cents on the dollar, to support a $1000 per day habit. The math is pretty simple.

I also played a key role in non-profit work to raise funds for drug treatment programs, for addicts who are desperately seeking treatment, but who can't afford it.

Your simple solution doesn't equate to any solution in reality.

Speaking of “non-profit” we could do as Portugal did and just decriminalize drugs across the board, regulate the sale (for purity, dosage and safety’s sake) of dangerous narcotic and other drugs.
But that probably would require a single-payer National Healthcare System and we’re not allowed to have that because our “healthcare” floats on oceans and carries aircraft to defend our freedom.

What’s the DOD’s budget? Isn’t like $805 billion?
That’s like every college loan 30x over.

Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."
It fits the bill, here, too.

You'd think people who oppose illegal immigration would appreciate an administration which actual apprehends people attempting to cross the border illegally rather than the previous guy's empty gestures like a wall that never got built.

Despite the uptick, numbers are still down from last year. (You’ll have to manually filter by “southern land border”)

Or we could bring our military home to defend our border.
