Over half a million illegal aliens are reportedly set to storm the United States border as COVID-era protections are expected to end this week.
QUICK FACTS:
- A mob of nearly 700,000 illegal immigrants is preparing to cross America’s southern border when Title 42 expires this week, ending COVID border protections.
- According to a number of reports, around 40% of attempted illegal border crossings have been expelled from the U.S. with Title 42 in effect, but as the protection comes to an end the border is expected to see an unprecedented surge of people coming into the country.
- “Border Patrol shared with us their intelligence that there are approximately 700,000 [illegals], as of three weeks ago, in the shelters in Mexico waiting to come into the United States,” Yuma County Supervisor Jonathan Lines said during a recent Board of Supervisors meeting.
- Even with Title 42 in place, more than 6 million illegal immigrants have already been allowed into the United States under the Biden administration.
REPORTER BILL MELUGIN ON THE EXPECTED INFLUX OF ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS AS TITLE 42 IS SET TO END:
“The Border Patrol union ramps up warnings about what we can expect to see next week when Title 42 drops. There have been more than 8,000 illegal crossings per day in some recent days – and that is expected to potentially go up significantly after 5/11,” Melugin said.
BACKGROUND:
- Fox News reporter Bill Melugin shared sky video footage of hundreds of illegal aliens crossing into Brownsville Texas on Sunday.
- According to Melugin, Border Patrol has reported nearly 55,000 apprehensions and more than 18,000 gotaways in just one week.
- “These are some of the highest weekly totals I have ever seen – and Title 42 hasn’t even dropped yet. Stunning numbers – especially that many gotaways in a single week,” Melugin said.
- Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said during a press conference in Brownsville, Texas last week that he has a “six pillar” plan to handle the millions of illegals that are going to rush the US border as Title 42 sets to expire.
- Mayorkas claimed the border is “not open” despite the millions of illegals who have crossed since the beginning of Biden’s presidency.
- “The situation at the border is a very serious one, a very challenging one, and a very difficult one,” Mayorkas said. “The border is not open, it has not been open, and it will not be open subsequent to May 11th.”
