Also,

1) There have been 8.7 million illegal crossings nationwide.

2) There have been OVER 7.2 MILLION illegal crossings of our Southern Border.

is 15M

and

4) There have been 1.8 million known gotaways who evaded U.S. Border Patrol.
I'm pretty sure the 7.2 million crossing at the Southern border are a subset of the 8.7 million nationwide. The other 1.5 million got in other ways, like crossing the border with Canada, which is becoming much more common.

I dealt with some of this in my Federal career and yes, once the border is "tightened up" in one area the border crossings shift to other areas. "Coyotes" figure it out pretty quickly.

The strength of the dollar, plays a big role in this invasion, at least as an incentive for the invaders. Next time you see a bunch of Mexicans busting their asses on a roof, remember, the dollars they earn here have a whole lot more purchasing power there (Mexico).

Another consequence of the “Exorbitant Privilege” the dollar gives average joes, for being the World’s reserve currency. And another reason why the rest of the World devalues their currencies against the dollar.

21. 73,000 illegals with criminal records at the border last year.

But what the hell, democrats feel good.

Quote:

In fiscal year 2023, ERO arrested more than 73,000 illegal aliens with criminal histories, including charges and convictions associated with sexual assault, homicide, and kidnapping. In total, the group had 290,178 associated charges and convictions, with an average of four per individual.
While ICE has arrested some who have committed crimes against children, cities in Texas are dealing with other crimes that can be associated with the border crisis.
Texas Scorecard previously reported on the city of Fort Worth seeing a 21 percent increase in human trafficking cases.

You know who else has it figured out? North Korea and China...even Germany at one time.

But we just watch and wonder what to do.

We know what to do. But the Democrats are in charge, and they want more voters.
