The Invasion Continues

Have you noticed you do not see anywhere near the number of stories about chaos at the Southern Border that we did several months ago?

My guess is that this is no coincidence.

The White House and the mainstream media saw that the wave of illegal immigration was causing Biden's poll numbers to plummet so it was necessary to take this issue out of the headlines.

Notice how the illegals encountered nationwide by the CBP dropped at the beginning of the year in the wake of the stories about the 300,00-350,000 illegals crossing the border at the end of last year.

However, we have still been seeing about 250,000 illegals encountered by the CBP every month since January. That works out to be an annual rate of 3,000,000.

The monthly totals we are seeing right now remains at almost the same level we saw in 2022 and 2023 at this time of year.

These numbers also do not include "gotaways" and the substantial number of migrants that are being flown directly into U.S. airports from selected countries such as Venezuela and Haiti.  These illegals do not attract the attention that the masses of humanity crossing the border do.

No one knows the exact number of "gotaways" but there were an additional 670,000 gotaways last year according to internal CBP records obtained in a recent FOIA request and reported by Fox News Channel recently.

Notice again how the numbers have skyrocketed under Biden.

More gotaways in three years of Biden than ten years under Trump and Obama.

The direct flights are being used by the Biden administration under what is referred to as "parole authority" which allows the President to admit foreigners for "humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit".

They are flown directly into the country at American taxpayer expense without having to reach the border on their own.

Well over 1 million migrants have been flown into the United States and have been given work permits during Biden's term of office.  These are not in the Border Patrol numbers nor do they get much publicity.

Despite the chaos we have seen at the Southern Border the reality is that a large number of the migrants entering the country recently have actually been coming in at airports.

In fact, the top 10 ports of entry for all paroled migrants in 2023 were at airports rather than at the border.

Notice the massive changes from 2012 to 2017 to 2023.

This shows the significance of the direct flights under the "parole" program being used by Biden to take the focus off the border.

Miami International Airport had only 139 paroled migrants in all of 2012. There were 1,671 in 2017.

Last year it had 9,216 migrant parolees!

The fact that there are now signs at U.S. airports that point non-U.S. citizens to a dedicated line at TSA checkpoints tells you all you need to know.

You may not be seeing it in the headlines but the invasion continues.

The invasion is not just coming from Spanish speaking countries south of the United States.

One of the more interesting factoids I have seen on illegals recently is the number of Chinese nationals that have illegally entered the country over the last several years.

This is from reporting by Griff Jenkins at Fox News Channel.

Look at the numbers for April.

3,287 Chinese were encountered entering the United States illegally in April, 2024.

The similar number in April, 2021----18!!!

Under the social credit score system in China an individual who is not considered "trustworthy" is denied many basic privileges that include train and plane travel.

What are the chances that any of these individuals left China without the consent and approval of the Chinese Communist Party?

It should not surprise anyone that this influx of Chinese illegals have raised significant security concerns among those who have been involved in the vetting process of those seeking refuge in the United States in the past.

You may not see it in the headlines but the invasion continues.

When you add it all together there are currently 51.6 million foreign-born people living in the United States according to the Center for Immigration Studies.

That number is also the highest percentage of foreign-born persons living in the U.S. in history---15.6%.

That is a higher percentage than right after the founding of the country a few years removed from being a colony of Great Britain.

It is a higher percentage than we saw in the great immigration through Ellis Island in the late 1800's and early 1900's.

Quite literally, we have never seen anything like it in the history of the United States.

If the policies of Biden and the Democrats continue it will get far, far worse as the chart above shows.

What I find most astounding in all of this is there seems to be no recognition of the enormous sustainability issues regarding the issue of illegal immigration with Democrats. This is especially surprising considering the importance of the issue of sustainability with liberal and younger voters in particular.

Too many immigrants puts too much strain on our resources. It puts unnecessary strain on everything in our society---our water, our sewer systems, our roads, the electric grid, our infrastructure and our environment. It contributes to congestion and urban sprawl.

Add to this what it does to increase the financial strain on our schools and our health system and cost pressure on rents and housing costs, not to mention our law enforcement and justice system.

What happens when AI and technology displaces many of the jobs that low-skilled immigrants are likely to hold? Are we importing a gigantic permanent underclass that will have to be supported by welfare and tax dollars for years and years to come?

Adding too many immigrants, too quickly, also puts added pressure on the social order if those immigrant numbers outpace the ability to integrate and assimilate them into the general population.

How do you add 3-4 million people in one year (or 10-12 million in four years) without creating enormous sustainability and societal problems?

The invasion continues even if it is not in the headlines today.

What can be done about it?

It can only be stopped if the voters demand it.

The 2024 election provides that opportunity.
