The Biden Border Policy to inundate America with the third world continues.

Costing us tens of billions of dollars here and now. A cost that will run into 1 trillion over a decade if these people are not sent back.



Border Patrol sectors across the embattled southern border are already full as they scramble to deal with a new surge in illegal crossings -- with agents again encountering large groups of migrants seeking, and obtaining, entry to the United States.

A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) source tells Fox News that all four main Border Patrol sectors are either nearing full capacity or are already over capacity and that as of Thursday morning, there are 19,400 migrants in custody.

Fox was on the ground as huge groups of hundreds of illegal migrants, many of them wearing wristbands to show they had been smuggled by cartels, crossed into the U.S. One group consisted of several hundred migrants -- mostly family units and unaccompanied minors. A source told Fox that the majority are released into the U.S. with a court date.

Numbers had been decreasing since the end of the Title 42 public health order, leading the Biden administration to declare that its strategy of increased consequences for illegal entry, including an asylum restriction, and expanded legal pathways was working.


Numbers at the border overall went down from over 200,000 in May to around 144,000 in June. But numbers have reportedly increased in July, and agents have been encountering around 6,000 migrants a day this week.

Additionally, agents have been seeing some shifts in traffic. CBS News reported that the Tucson Sector has seen a 134% increase from June, in a region that sees blistering heat and extreme conditions.

Ajo, a desolate area in Arizona, has seen a surge that required the agency to increase personnel and set up a penned off enclosure to keep some adult migrants outside until they could be transported to other sectors. Fox News Digital’s cameras this week showed the area -- which had caused some controversy, with advocates claiming it was cruel -- empty.
