As noted here yesterday, the Tucson Sector has been the busiest sector on our southern border so far this month, having totalled 17,000 encounters during September’s first 10 days.
During one single 24-hour period this week in the sector, more than 2,000 illegal border crossers were apprehended. Those people are not being returned and they’re not being detained. The CBP facilities are full and, to “solve” the problem, officials have set daily “bookout” targets. If the migrant can’t be deported and can’t be detained, he is simply being released — with a mere “Notice to Appear” in court at a later, often unspecified date — into the interior onto Tucson’s streets or, sometimes, in rural areas of surrounding Cochise County.
Illegal traffic in the Tucson Sector had not been this heavy since 2008, but this summer the smuggling cartels began steering migrants through the Arizona desert. The migrants are coming from all over the world, including Pakistan, China, Ecuador, Bangladesh, and Egypt, as well as African nations such as Senegal, Mauritania, Ghana, and the Sudan. Many are single, adult men. And most have come to stay, in ever-welcoming Bidenworld.
