In July, a total of 118,000 migrants were apprehended by Border Patrol agents in five Texas sectors. As a result, Texas Governor Greg Abbott expanded his migrant busing operation to include New York.
More than 118,000 migrants illegally crossed the Mexican border into the U.S. between the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, Del Rio, Big Bend, and El Paso sectors. This represents almost two-thirds of the 180,000 migrants apprehended along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to unofficial CBP reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas.
More than 50,000 migrants entered the Texas border sectors through the Del Rio Sector, now the busiest in the nation. Additionally, 35,000 entered through the Rio Grande Valley Sector and 25,000 through the El Paso Sector. Laredo and Big Bend sectors accounted for the remaining 8,000 migrants.
In July, the number of migrants apprehended in these sectors is down from more than 128,000 in June. According to the report, 85,287 migrants apprehended in Texas-based border sectors in June were single adults, and this represents a 13 percent increase over June 2021 apprehensions.
During the current fiscal year, which began on October 1, 2021, 1.14 million migrants were apprehended by agents in these sectors.
Governor Abbott stated that Texas would not sit idly by as the border crisis worsens, even though it is the federal government’s responsibility to secure the border. As a result, Texas has developed the nation’s most comprehensive and robust border plan. To address the massive border crisis created by the Biden administration’s border security and immigration policies, Governor Abbott has taken to busing immigrants to Washington D.C. More recently, he has expanded his migrant busing operation to New York City. According to borderwall.texas.gov, as of July 22, 2022. more than $118,297.00 has been donated for “Border Transportation Funding Donations” other donation options include Border Wall Funding Donations As of July 22, 2022: $55,334,747
As a result of Governor Abbott’s action, Mayor Adams of New York City has engaged in a war of words. The mayor of New York City described Gov. Abbott’s air-conditioned bus transportation of migrants as “horrific.” Mayor Adams went on to say that Considering what the governor is doing; this is horrific. Considering the history of this country, a nation that has always embraced those fleeing persecution, what the governor of Texas has done is unimaginable, according to Mayor Adams.
No similar accusation against the Biden Administration’s policies led to record-setting migrant deaths at the U.S.-Mexico Border.
Governor Abbott’s spokesperson Renae Eze said, What is ‘horrific’ is the thousands of illegal immigrants overrunning and overwhelming our border communities with populations smaller than a New York City borough, and Mayor Adams is hypocritically upset about welcoming just a few dozen into his sanctuary city.
The Border Patrol’s rescue of migrants has already surpassed last year’s record, along with the number of migrant deaths. As of this week, Border Patrol agents have rescued well over 19,000 migrants from life-threatening circumstances, according to the unofficial report reviewed by Breitbart. According to official reports, agents rescued just under 13,000 people in FY2021. Additionally, 5,000 people were rescued in FY2020, while 4,920 were rescued in FY2019.
According to Abbott’s administration, Biden’s open-border policies have caused a humanitarian crisis at Texas’ southern border as record numbers of illegal immigrants, drugs, and contraband enters Texas.
Texas is not the only state addressing border issues. Governor Doug Dulcey also took a page from Abbott and bused immigrants to Washington DC. According to state officials in Arizona, buses are needed to help border counties. Tim Roemer, Arizona’s Homeland Security Director, said migrants crossing the border are overwhelming the system.
Arizona pays $82,146 per bus under a contract with AMI Expeditionary Healthcare LLC. Those costs include the rental of the bus, two paramedics/EMTs per bus, and multiple drivers. Additionally, asylum seekers receive three meals a day from the company. Clearly not the horrible situation Adams would have you believe.
Adams announced an emergency declaration on Monday, allowing the city to tap nonprofits quickly to establish an immigrant referral center and shelters without undergoing typical reviews and contracts.
He has asked the federal government to reimburse the city’s expenses.
On August 4, he said that New York already had a housing crisis. He is asking the Federal government to help because not only is its housing but translation services, education, food, and more.
Abbott will continue to ship people to New York City despite the $1,400 per rider price tag reported by NBC in June. That is in n addition to the nonprofit groups that also arrange transportation to New York City.
Take them to Delaware . Bidne is the only one that has invited them, so should take responsibility for them.
Grusesome needs more! Delaware needs some too! Go Greg! FJB!
Why the average Liberal Democratic voter doesn’t see Bidens Open Door policy as a catastrophic program on so many levels, baffles me. Your families safety and security is at risk . These people are not fleeing for their lives, they are coming to take, take, take at our expense. Who do you think is paying for all this? Wake Up People!
Also, pay attention to the fact that 95+ percent are young men. Could definitely be a plan behind this factor, especially since our military is being destroyed by the Democrats. Why aren’t the young men staying in their country and make beneficial changes there?
Although I commend him for what he is doing….the easy fix is to declare an invasion of our border…..he can legally do this per not only the US Constitution but, our Texas Constitution as well…..I tend to be a little leary of politicians (no matter your party affiliation) that can easily fix an issue but choose not to for their political agenda…..political agendas of both parties is exactly what has gotten us in the mess we are in…..
GREAT JOB GOVERNOR ABBOTT FROM KENNETH W. AND BILLIE JANEL SWICK ON ROBERTSON COUNTY, TEXAS
The border states, alone and by themselves, should not be shouldering the result of reckless and irresponsible border and security policies. Thank you Governors Abbott and Ducey for having the courage to do what needed to be done.
Thank You Governor Abbott…we need more like you !!
If every politician and proponent that tries to justify that illegal aliens should be given sanctuary and allowed to receive benefits that American born citizens are often denied, should be required to accept a minimum of two adult illegals in their homes and be required to feed, clothe, provide medical care, an education, and be held responsible for their actions for the rest of their lives. If this was enacted, our borders would become the best guarded borders in the world.
Please address the REAL CRISIS in these United States which is not immigrants. The real crisis is the Republican party leading based on lies, scare-mongering, and infringement of personal rights. In my state, Florida, hotels, restaurants and service industries are shutting down for lack of personnel to work in kitchens, hotel services, and lawn care. Most caucasians will not do these jobs. Please provide accurate information, especially get informed that immigration has, and will always be an asset to this country. This is also trickle down economics; ie. more immigrant children in schools means more employment for school personnel, more immigrants means more consumers, more immigrants means cheaper restaurant prices, and I could list a few more areas where immigrants are a tremendous asset to USA. Of course, there will be a few problematic immigrants but again welcome to the real world of humanity. The anti-immigrant rhetoric is unamerican, fallacious, and evil. Stop it!!!!!!!!!!! and deal with the real evils such as Trump, the most evil president US has ever had, and shame on Republicans (I am a registered Republican) who still have his back and no backbone to decry Trump’s evil lies. Shame in the party for their choices. Power is a corrupting value and never thought most of the Republican leaders would fall this low. Sorry, but please do not send more communications. Do not enjoy reading how low the Loyal Conservatives have sunk. Shameful.
Why don’t YOU take in a few of these illegals and see how quickly your attitude changes! It’s always ok for somebody else to foot the bill for illegal immigration with liberals like you! There are places in this country for those who are willing to abide by the LEGAL immigration laws already in place. Many Central Americans come here LEGALLY on visas every year for the jobs “Most Caucasians” and I might add “African Americans” will not do. They are very important to the US economy. Nobody is upset with them! It’s those who just want a handout and unfortunately, too many Americans are doing the same thing, that are ruining the country. The sad thing is, Liberals like to point fingers and blame everybody else for their failed economic policies, of which the “immigration policy” is a subcategory.
Turn your brains on. Illegals should come here legally. They should apply from their country, like I did 33 years ago. It took 2 1/2 months. I paid $2065 for 4 airlines tickets. I got 3 loans / thanks to Chicago Jewish Federation for 0% interest/ $1,145.00 each, which I paid off as well. Should I or others, who emigrated to our country legally would be happy about this mass , created by DemocRats. Turn your brains on if that switch is working.
Somebody needs to get their head out of the sand and turn their tv off of CNN, get some real news for a change
Please start sending buses to Wilmington Delaware and President Biden’s home town. Maybe then he will start getting the message. He may suddenly realize the problem the small Texas communities are contending with.
