Latest Apprehension Data Blows Massive Hole In Biden’s Border Narrative | Eastern NC Now

    Publisher's Note: This post appears here courtesy of the The Daily Wire. The author of this post is Spencer Lindquist.

    Apprehensions of illegal immigrants surged from 132,652 in July to more than 177,000 in August, preliminary data reported by The Washington Post reveals.

    The figure indicates that illegal border crossing attempts have consistently and substantially increased month over month since June, which experienced 99,539 reported apprehensions.

    The preliminary data reported by The Washington Post indicate that August also saw the crossing of 91,000 migrants who were categorized as part of a family unit, breaking the previous record of 84,486 in May of 2019.

    The recent figures come as White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that the Biden administration is "stopping the flow at the border." Jean-Pierre also claimed that Biden has "done more" to secure the border "than anybody else."

    Illegal border crossings have surged under the Biden administration, with an estimated 1.5 million illegal immigrant gotaways being recorded since Biden took office in 2021. There were 415,000 total reported gotaways for 2018, 2019, and 2020 under the Trump administration. The number of illegal border crossings jumped to a record high in fiscal year 2022.

    There's also been a 1,000% increase in illegal immigration from a number of different countries, including China, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and the Dominican Republic, among other countries.

    Americans living in border communities have expressed growing concern over their family's safety, with one wife of a border patrol agent telling The Daily Wire that illegal immigrants have tried to lure her daughters out of the house in the middle of the night.

    But the record-high increases in illegal immigration have also strained major cities far north of the border like Chicago and New York, which have struggled to house foreign nationals. Chicago passed a measure to provide $51 million in funding to house and feed migrants, while 50 places of worship in New York City are now being used to accommodate foreign nationals.

    New York residents recently protested a potential plan to convert a former nursing home into a housing center for migrants.

    Illegal immigration has even spiked on the northern border, jumping 36% in July. There were 916 recorded encounters at the northern border in fiscal year 2021, but the numbers have since increased to 2,238 in fiscal year 2022. There have now been 7,633 encounters between October 2022 and July 2023.

    One northern border patrol agent was allegedly assaulted while making apprehensions in the Swanton Border Patrol sector, which spans New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York.


    Estimates have found that illegal immigration costs United States taxpayers approximately $151 billion every year, with a recent report from Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee finding that illegal immigration places significant financial strain on the American medical system.

    Multiple public opinion surveys indicate that voters disapprove of Biden's handling of the border. A Fox News poll, which surveyed more than 1,000 registered voters in late June, found that 62% of respondents disapproved of Biden's handling of immigration, while only 35% approve.

Should the Institutionalized Corruption of the Biden /Harris Administration, in this separate instance the Open Border Policy of our Sovereign Southern Border, be not only tolerated, but sanctioned by the raising of local spending by local politicians to pay for these now visible and known effects of rampant, and out-of-control Illegal Immigration?

  Yes, it is a kind thing to do, and a way that our county, our state can aid in this tremendous effort toward local federal foreign aid; and now, thankfully, in great abundance.

  No, our Constitutional Republic WILL NOT continue to exist, as our United States of America, if we do not control our sovereign borders, to protect our citizens, to keep them solvent and safe.

  I only consider what is topical and popular since my friends, too, only care to do the same.

The previous poll on Eastern NC NOW showcased what are many of OUR Constitutional Republic's certain obstacles to remain viable, where the top encumbrance to that continuance as a functioning Republic was the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border. Understanding this overwhelming concern to real America citizens: Do you believe it important to challenge the veracity of those legislated concerns of Democratic Socialists by transporting Illegal Migrants to their Sanctuary cities, counties and states for their direct care?

  Yes; test the depth of their "compassion" by giving Democratic Socialists an opportunity to enact all Sanctuary provisions in their communities to test how much they truly do care.

  No; the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border Project is designed to only inundate "Red States" to begin their Demographic Upheaval for the benefit of we Democratic Socialists, our politics.

  I generally do NOT care about politics, but it is fun watching abject hypocrites squirm; maybe I will start getting more involved.
