On Tuesday, December 5, more than 12,000 foreigners crossed the U.S. border illegally - the highest daily total of illegal immigrants [illegal aliens] ever recorded. We are currently witnessing the greatest illegal immigration crisis in American history.

In October, the House Committee on Homeland Security reported that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered a record-breaking 269,735 illegal immigrants in the previous month...

According to the New York Times, the illegal migrants come not simply from Latin America but from "more than 160 countries," including Iran, China, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Chechnya, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Yemen, and Somalia, as well as large parts of Africa and the Middle East...

Only a few months into the Biden Administration (on April 10, 2021), the head of Border Patrol was asked on television, Who controls the border? He responded: "The cartels control the border now. It’s not even the border patrol. It’s not even the U.S. government." Two months later, on June 19, the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reiterated that the cartels control the border: they "dictate everything."...

In his trenchant new book, Overrun, Center for Immigration Studies Fellow and former Texas counter-terrorism official Todd Bensman illuminates today’s reality on America’s southern border...

Republicans in the House and Senate should insist that nothing passes without embedding the core elements of HR2 (not amorphous funds for phony "border security," which in reality means more migrant processing) into any supplemental budget bill that Congress passes. Otherwise, massive migration from every corner of the planet will continue unabated, perhaps until all of America looks like today’s migrant-occupied Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.
