Migrant numbers hit highest ever recorded in one month: sources

Valletta · Sep 30, 2023

Republicans in the House had been pushing for border security measures -- particularly the House GOP’s signature border security and asylum reform legislation — to be included in any stopgap funding bill. A vote on a bill that included most of the "Secure the Border Act" failed on Friday after 21 hardline Republicans joined Democrats in voting against it.

Migrant encounters hit 260,000+ in September, sources tell Fox News, marking a new record high for the migrant crisis now deep into its third year.

As I've said, Joe won't budge on the border (and thus a government shutdown) until enough Democrats stand up.

Oh, so "sources" are trustworthy now?

They are when there's a need to distract from a disastrous (for the GOP) attempt at a sham impeachment hearing.

No problem! Just send them to the sanctuary cities! Easy peasy!

Something that should be and could be done is .... interviews with many of the migrants of how they maneuvered getting to the US border. Yes, we do know the cartels are involved .... but it is obvious there is being other great aid being given to these people (transportation) by buses and such ... who are the entities providing this? I saw one short interview where a migrant stated he was given a credit card by the UN ... don't know if that is true ... but the point is the mass migration is being funded by something else other than the cartels ... either that or there are entities working directly with the cartels. This needs to be determined.

You could not be more wrong. Let's look a fentanyl, which is the #1 cause of lethal overdose. Nearly 90% of fentanyl smuggled into the US enters through legal ports of entry. The cartels don't give a flip about what an undocumented immigrant can carry in a backpack. They want to get in truckloads of product. Have you ever been to San Diego? The San Ysidro PoE is a zoo. The Border Patrol can't possibly screen every truck coming through. And on the east coast, drugs come in on private planes landing at small airports, and boats docking at small private harbors. Before you bad-mouth immigrants, you should read the link. You might learn something.

I thought he turned that over to his vice president.
