This is getting, well, laughable. The numbers of aliens, illegal migrants, would-be asylees,, “refugees”–whatever you call them–are simply overwhelming. This year it seems the whole world is coming to America. That’s not exactly true, of course. Part of the world is coming to Great Britain, another part to Europe. Nevertheless, consider the following:
- During the first five months of the new administration–February 1 to June 30– Border Patrol agents apprehended 791,571 migrants on our southern border, an increase of 571 percent over the same period last year.
- In addition, the Border Patrol estimates at least 250,000 illegal migrants “got away” without apprehension into the U.S. during the January-June period.
- Nearly 190,000 migrants were encountered at the southern border in June, bringing the total for fiscal year 2021 to more than a million.
- In the single week ending July 17, Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 15,000 migrants.
- While all this is going on, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas does things like extending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than 500 Somalis.
This has prompted Pat Buchanan to ask in a column, “Why Can’t Biden Stop This Invasion?” He was answered by Democrat Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, who gloated on the Senate floor that the “new voters in this country are moving away” from the past.
So now we know why Kamala laughs.
