Yesterday, we quoted GOP and White House estimates of the number of illegals expected to come across our southern border once the CDC’s Title 42 restrictions are eliminated as planned next month. Both sources agreed that 18,000 per day (up from the current 8,000) was a reasonable, if catastrophic, estimate.
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) disagrees. In a recent interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News, Biggs declared, “They say it’s going to be 18,000 a day … I personally think it’s going to be 20,000 to 30,000 a day.” He continued:
It’s going to be dramatic. Cartels are already advertising to put together caravans to come across … our communities are going to be overrun … last year, 800,000 people illegally snuck into the country, they were not apprehended, they were the got-aways, we don’t know who they are, where they are from, what their intentions are.
Biggs said the huge influx is a “political ploy” that is being welcomed by the administration, to “pack the U.S. with as many border crossers and illegal aliens as possible ahead of the midterm elections in November.”
“If you think it’s bad now, the tsunami that’s coming is going to be overwhelming,” he warned.
