Yesterday, Mark Morgan, Customs and Border Protection chief in the Trump administration, held a news conference with House Republicans at the border in Texas. He had some troubling things to say:
- The “Biden-Harris” administration has already released more than 45,000 illegal aliens into the U.S., after only a couple of months in power.
- At least 1.4 million border crossers will be apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border this year. The number for the current month is estimated at 150,000, compared with less than 35,000 in March 2020.
- Every day at least 1,000 illegal border crossers successfully enter the U.S., undetected, as “gotaways.”
- Now, the new officials are lobbying to end the CDC’s Title 42 policy, which refuses admittance to illegals as a pandemic control measure.
Morgan concluded this way:
We specifically told [the Biden officials], if you ended [Remain in Mexico], if you ended Title 42, if you ended the asylum cooperative agreements with the Northern Triangle countries, you will cause, you will drive an unmitigated crisis that will make 2019 pale in comparison. We told them that again and again. We told them that the surge numbers would skyrocket.
Yet, the Biden government proceeded to do just those things, fully aware of the consequences, deliberately causing a disaster they are loathe to call a “crisis.”
