Illegal border crossing reportedly ‘next to nothing … less than 150 apprehensions’ for almost a week
BizPac Review ^ | April 5, 2020 | Vivek Saxena

“This is what happened on 9/11 — on steroids. Mexico has locked down a lot of their country … and then they [migrants] think if they come to the U.S., they’re going to catch the virus.”

To put this in perspective, in February border officials apprehended 30,000 illegal aliens, whereas in May of last year they apprehended a whopping 132,000 illegals.

Yet at the current rate of an estimated 150 apprehensions per week, border officials are slated to apprehend fewer than 1,000 by the end of the month...

“The onslaught of the coronavirus has not only sent the global economy tumbling — it has also hit the black market where it hurts, and Mexican cartels are no exception,” BizPac Review reported last week.

“The outbreak of COVID-19 has sent the price of heroin, methamphetamines and fentanyl soaring, as the likes of the Sinaloa cartel – and its main rival, the Jalisco ‘New Generation’ – struggle to obtain the necessary chemicals to make the synthetic drugs, which typically come from China and are now in minimal supply.”..

And less supply means fewer drugs to illegally transport across the border. It also means less profit — a lot less profit, to be exact.

However, the drop likely also stems from the Trump administration’s tough policies, including its immediate deportation of all border crossers — a successful policy.

self-deportation is happening... that’s why the Mexicans want the border closed.

golden opportunity for Trump to crush illegal immigration (tax all remittances, cancel all visas, emergency deportations, etc)

Previous administrations of W and Obama acted like there was just nothing they could do about this problem. Trump about had it licked before the virus hit. Where there’s a will there’s a way. W seems to have gone underground. Trump has really made him look bad.

Mexicans in America take $22 billion a year out of this nations economy and sent it back to Mexico. $22 billion a year. Think about that.

Silver lining in a cloud that remains dark. Numbers being down is great, but I want to know who or what they are that remain dedicated getting across the border no matter what the circumstances, which makes me kinda uneasy. Who are those people, what are they really up to. I looked all over the article but saw no breakdown of nationalities apprehended. If it's Chinamen or Achmed types involved, danger Will Robinson for sure.
 
“The cartels have continued their production at a slower rate, but the demand seems to be increasing during these times of uncertainty in America. The shutdown of cities in China and travel in and out of China have also negatively impacted the flow of chemicals and drugs to Mexico.”
 
I know this is accurate - the local yokel methians have been going batcrap lately.
