Aaron Heitke says 'entire sectors' of border areas lacked agents in 2022 and 2023​

A retired border official is warning Americans about the increase in illegal immigration – especially of those considered "significant interest aliens" – as a result of the Biden-Harris border policies.

"There is a significant threat out there that we don't know," retired Chief Border Patrol Agent Aaron Heitke told "Fox & Friends First" Wednesday.

"We saw a steady increase in the number of individuals coming across the border… the numbers just continued to increase to the thousands and thousands each day."


Heitke also shed light on the "struggle" to return migrants to their home countries.

"Many people don't realize that we have to have an agreement with each sending country to send their citizens back," Heitke said. "Those agreements were allowed to lapse… with the steady decrease in detention here, it comes down to release, and we end up just releasing those folks into the United States, which rather than deter them from coming, it encourages them to come."

As a result, Heitke said during his time in San Diego, he encountered individuals "from many different criminal organizations and terrorist organizations."

And he stressed that with fewer agents at the border, these individuals are able to cross into the U.S. and freely engage in dangerous activities ranging from fundraising for terrorism or cartels, narcotics, or human trafficking.

"Anything that they can make money on," according to Heitke.

Border Patrol agents recorded the fewest monthly migrant apprehensions since 2021 on southern border​

The number of migrants apprehended by federal authorities after illegally crossing the border into Texas decreased roughly 32% in June — a sharp drop seen across the entire U.S.-Mexico border, according to federal statistics released this week.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in Texas apprehended 30,771 migrants between ports of entry in June, down from 45,139 in May. Border Patrol agents apprehended 83,536 migrants in June across the southern border, down from 117,901 in May. That marked the fewest monthly apprehensions since January 2021, the month President Joe Biden took office, according to CBP figures released Monday.

Migrant apprehensions in Texas decreased by nearly one-third in June, the first month of a new order by President Joe Biden that widely limited asylum claims.

We'll never know how much lower the numbers would be if the guy who promised Mexico would pay for an enhanced border wall hadn't blocked immigration reform legislation.
