Any evidence? No. |

True. And how do 83,000 children disappear into America? And for what purpose? It’s horrifying. |

| Too bad Biden chose to reverse all of Trump’s initiatives that were actually working. You can lay the blame for the current border disaster directly at Biden’s feet. |

The cartels and human traffickers have been doing their thing for decades. But that's not what the article was about. |

Trump's initiatives weren't working. A lot of what's happening now didn't start when Biden got into office, it was already happening under Trump. Also, under Trump there was barely any meaningful work done on the wall, and what work was done on the wall didn't help anything, they were easily able to still go through the wall, and there were still migrant caravans, along with horrible treatment of those who were legitimately seeking asylum. |

This is simply not true. You may not have liked Trump's initiatives, but they were certainly deterring migrants from trying to enter illegally. But of course, Biden had to reverse that immediately on his first day in office. |

Exactly. Every Democrat Presidential candidate raised their hand when the moderator asked if they wanted open borders. The world watched in horror. What has become of The United States of America? |

A sinclair stations report. I would guess it’s a deeply slanted story. |

First, let's take a closer look at the newest report from the Department of Homeland Security detailing the number of illegal alien encounters along the Southwest border last month.
Border Patrol agents apprehended 100,617 illegal border crossers in June. You have go all the way back to February of 2021 to find a lower number of border apprehensions. But to compare, the average number of border apprehensions in the month of June between 2014 and 2018 was 51,167, nearly half the number in June of this year. While total border apprehensions are near their lowest level since Pres. Biden took office, they're still well-above historical levels. Meanwhile, the number of illegal aliens who presented themselves at a port of entry along the Southwest border continued to rise. In June, CBP Office of Field Operations (OFO) encountered 110,958 illegal aliens at ports of entry. That's the highest level of OFO encounters of illegal aliens at the Southwest border in history. In June of 2021, Pres. Biden's first year in office, OFO encountered just 28,927 illegal aliens at ports of entry. The bottom line is that roughly the same number of illegal aliens are still trying to enter the country each month. They're just not doing it by crossing the border illegally. What these numbers don't tell you is how many illegal aliens have attempted to enter the country through ports of entry NOT along the Southwest border. The Biden Administration has established a number of different routes for would-be illegal border crossers that don't involve crossing the border illegally. |

Texas' population has nearly doubled in the past four decades, surging from about 16 million in 1983 to over 30 million today.
Demographers project the Lone Star State will add another 14 million people by 2060. Residents are none-too-pleased... The current pace of growth isn't sustainable. And federal immigration policy isn't helping. Last fiscal year, U.S. border officials reported more than 2.3 million encounters with illegal crossers -- an all-time high. This fiscal year, encounters have already topped 1.4 million. Unless this surge is stopped, the resulting population growth and its negative impacts on the state's environment and quality of life will be off the charts. |

Coming to a schools district near you …
Went from solid middle class to title one in 10 years due to illegal immigration. Park View High School and Sterling Middle School will be able to apply for Title I funding in the 2017-2018 school year. The School Board approved of the motion unanimously with the exception of an absent Jill Turgeon (Blue Ridge District). Title I provides financial assistance to local educational agencies and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards, according to the U.S. Department of Education. https://www.loudountimes.com/news/title-1-status-approved-for-park-view-high-sterling-middle-schools/article_985f38c7-455b-5cb5-acdf-c3ad092efda6.html |
