Former Border Patrol Agent On The Invasion: OTMs, Catch-And-Release, And Hidden Illegals
... The numbers of crossings on the Texas/Mexico border are compiled from Tuesday to Tuesday. The week ending September 21st had 33,000 illegal aliens encountered, September 28th had 26,000 and October 5th had a little over 20,000.
A significant portion of the illegal aliens were OTMs meaning "Other Than Mexican." For instance, it was over 19,000 of the total for week ending September 28th and over 14,000 for the week ending October 5th. Sadly, even the Mexicans encountered are just sent back to try again anyway.
The majority of the OTMs were from Central America: El Salvador, Guatemala (the biggest), Nicaragua and Honduras. However, there were quite a few Cubans, Brazilians, and Venezuelans....

The Disaster at Our Southern Border, by Mark Morgon, Former Acting Commissioner, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Imprimis, August 2021:
In just a few short months, the Biden administration has created a disaster on the southern border of the United States. It did so by methodically—and by all indications intentionally—undoing every meaningful border security measure that had been in place. As a result, we have had five straight months of over 170,000 illegal immigrants apprehended at the border. The number in June was the highest in over 20 years. And Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been effectively shut down....

In conclusion, it is simply common sense to view border security as national security. If you make this point today, you risk being called a racist or worse.
