Migrant surge at US-Mexico border is worst in 20 years, DHS boss says
NYPost ^ | 03 16 2021 | Steven Nelson

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday disclosed that the migration surge at the US-Mexico border is likely the worst the situation has been in 20 years.

Mayorkas, who has refused to call the situation a “crisis,” said in a statement that “[w]e are on pace to encounter more individuals on the southwest border than we have in the last 20 years.”

The statement referred to the surge as a “difficult situation,” but said his department is working to handle it “successfully.”

Mayorkas disclosed new information, including that most unaccompanied minors housed in cramped detention camps have family already in the US.

“In more than 80 percent of cases, the child has a family member in the United States. In more than 40 percent of cases, that family member is a parent or legal guardian. These are children being reunited with their families who will care for them,” Mayorkas said.

Too bad illegal border crossing wasn’t illegal, we could send them back.

Eff the country over, fraudulent elections, blow up the economy, open the borders to millions of criminals...

The real reason why those in D.C. have surrounded themselves in razor wire, armed troops and tall fences.

Can’t argue. Labeling it a ‘crisis’ is obviously a political move by those who wish to demonize the large numbers of people who only want to increase the diversity of our nation. No, it’s much better to think of it as a ‘difficult situation’.

Comrades! Please don’t think of this as an invasion, but rather a case of ‘encountering’ more individuals on our border. And please do not ask why this level of encounters has increased so much in the last 60 days. Asking such questions is “not who we are”.

And comrades, please don’t start to wonder who is running this clown show.

Please somebody PLEASE tell me whether or not states have rights to defy an overreaching government that puts its citizens at risk.........like the Demons opening the Southern Border and letting people in and caring for them all at our expense and then some??? I fear for my grandkids who are young adults out in the work force which of course takes them out of the sactuaries they call home....one’s a police officer! Our granddaughters have all had Covid but that’s not the danger I fear for them. It’s every kind of riff raff roaming the streets and causing them harm.....

Color me skeptical to such statements from the DC Junta representative.

You know if we had some kind of wall across the entire border maybe there would be far less of a problem?
