EXCLUSIVE: Illegal Migrants Explain Why They’re Coming to the US as They Cross Private Land
BY THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION March 30, 2021 Updated: March 30,

Illegal migrants said they’re coming to the U.S. because of President Joe Biden, natural disasters and violence in their home countries.

A landowner where migrants frequently cross on their way to a processing facility said they tell him they’re here because Biden invited them.

Some of the migrants said they did not want to leave their countries but had to because of corruption and a lack of opportunity.

RINCON VILLAGE, TEXAS—Illegal migrants are crossing through private land seeking asylum in the U.S. for a number of reasons including Joe Biden’s presidency and factors such as violence and natural disasters devastating their home countries, they said Friday.

Approximately 190 illegal migrants were encountered at an undisclosed location in the Rincon Village near Mission, Texas, on Friday. A man calling himself “Junior” told the Daily Caller News Foundation that he encounters illegal migrants crossing through his private land every day he’s there, which is at least four days out of the week.

“They all say the same thing, Biden nos invitó, Biden invited us,” Junior told the DCNF, he asked that his last name be omitted after the media mobbed him in 2018 with requests to access his land.

The illegal migrants have not caused damage to property because they only walk along the road, but they have left behind trash including various medications, clothing and bottles, Junior told the DCNF. He added he has not recognized anyone that stands out as possible coyotes or cartel members.

“With Obama, it was mostly men with children, no women, but I asked a couple of times, ‘Where’s your daddy?’ and the kid—I remember one kid saying, ‘He’s not here,’ and the so-called father was like five feet away and says, ‘I’m right here.’ He was angry, he was upset, and I could tell, he ain’t the father, but there is nothing I can do,” Junior told the DCNF.

A Honduran man crossing Junior’s land with a large group of migrants including women and several children said that the Biden administration gave them the opportunity to come to the U.S.

A woman traveling with the same group said she is escaping Honduras with her son because women are being denigrated and killed.

A large group of migrants from Guatemala said they “aren’t delinquents” and that they came to the U.S. illegally to find work.

Antonio Flores, 22, from Honduras said he and his family came to the U.S. because of corruption and lack of opportunity in their home country. He added that this journey was not something he wanted to do, that he did not want to leave his country and that the group did not pay anyone to get them across the border.

A group of four male Honduran migrants ages 15 to 17 said they came to the U.S. because a hurricane destroyed their house and that it is easier to enter the U.S. under the Biden administration.

Junior’s land is not a port of entry and all the migrants encountered there Friday had entered the U.S. illegally. During the Trump administration, Junior told the DCNF that he would go weeks and sometimes months without seeing an illegal migrant.

Previously, illegal migrants had to walk until they encountered border officials and were brought in. There is now a temporary processing center under an international bridge about five miles from the riverbank, Junior told the DCNF. Many migrants are now headed directly to the facility.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials under previous administrations knew illegal migrants entered the country but wouldn’t pick them up, Junior claimed.

Illegal Border Crossings Jump to 150,000 in March
BY CHARLOTTE CUTHBERTSON March 30, 2021 Updated: March 31, 2021

MISSION, Texas—Border Patrol has apprehended more than 150,000 illegal border crossers during the month of March—50,000 more than February—according to former Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan.

A further 30,000 evaded capture, according to Morgan, who has received the provisional CBP numbers from internal sources.

The March total edges out the highest month in 2019, during the most recent border crisis. In May 2019, Border Patrol apprehended 144,000 people between ports of entry.

“The border is wide open … it’s not secure. Drugs are pouring in and criminal aliens are pouring in right now,” Morgan said during a press conference on the bank of the Rio Grande on March 30.

In his first press conference since taking office, President Joe Biden on March 25 said his focus is to “rebuild the system that can accommodate the — what is happening today.”

The administration has opened several holding facilities for illegal immigrants, particularly to accommodate the increase in children crossing alone. The San Diego Convention Center is currently holding 500 children, while another 500 were sent to a site on Fort Bliss on March 30. In total, more than 12,000 children are being held by CBP and Health and Human Services.

When asked about the spike in illegal crossings, Biden said: “I like to think it’s because I’m a nice guy, but it’s not. It’s because of what’s happened every year.”

Morgan said the current surge can’t be explained away as a normal seasonal uptick.

“They created this crisis and they’re trying to spin and blame everybody but themselves,” Morgan said. “The only thing that’s really been put out there that’s honest is that we’re going to see numbers that we haven’t seen in over 20 years.”

In a media call on March 26, a senior Border Patrol official said that 85 percent of the 2,200 individuals within family units who were apprehended the day prior were released into the United States.

The official said that if a parent brings a child under the age of 7, they are automatically released into the interior rather than being expelled under the Title 42 health emergency provision.

Morgan said CBP had provided “exhaustive briefings” to Biden’s transition team to warn them of an “unmitigated crisis” if Biden ended the Migrant Protection Protocol program and the Asylum Cooperative Agreements with the Northern Triangle countries.

“We told them that again and again. We told them that the surge numbers would skyrocket and the Border Patrol facilities would be overwhelmed.”

March numbers
In 2000 it was 220,063
In 2016 it was 33,316
In 2019 it was 92,833
Maybe push has something to do with it

According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, there were only 34,460 Southwest Land Border encounters in March of 2020. The numbers for this March 2021 is almost 5 times higher. And a further 30,000 evaded capture.

Way less than 2000
This is nothing new
Trumps shortsighted policies which along with his failed pandemic policies reduced illegal immigration in the short term did nothing to reduce the push.
In fact employers like him that were employing illegals increased the attraction.

His political actions, as you noted, decreased the attraction. Biden's policies and election promises increased the attraction.

In 2016 it was 33,316
In 2019 it was 92,833

Simple math will tell you which is greater

In 2020 it was 34,460,
In 2021 it was 150,000

Simple math will tell you which is greater.

Trumps shortsighted policies which along with his failed pandemic policies reduced illegal immigration in the short term did nothing to reduce the push.

Biden's shortsighted policies which along with his failing pandemic policies has caused illegal immigration to dramatically rise to the highest levels since 2000.

There are people who can help you disassociate from the cult of Trump and Qanon.

Cult? Qanon? . . . Oh . . . that's right . . . Your shrinking number of posts was helping me to disassociate from your make believe political world.

Tough messaging doesn't stop people from coming to the United States. Ask President Trump, who systematically separated -- tortured in the words of Physicians for Human Rights -- thousands of families. The following year, the Trump admin saw a major increase in migration to the border.

Ah!! Trump is not just a racist, a misogynist, a Nazi, a conspiracist, an idiot, a fool, a failure, a cult leader, a creator of fantasies, a cunning curator of hatred, a crook, a destroyer of human rights, a liar, a narcissist, a traitor, a psychopath, a sociopath, among other forgotten ists and isms, and now we find that he is also a torturer . . .

It's not like you have a Trump obsession . . . but maybe you might be better off if you disassociated from this Trump whatever thingy . . . he won't be alive much longer and he lost and you've done a yeoman's job of exposing what and who he is. It's becoming a bit redundant. If we haven't got it by now, we never will.

Maybe you could talk more about Biden and the Democrats. They have the power now.

Unlike Trump most Americans approve of Biden’s policies
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Just a third of Americans say they approve of Biden's handling of the issue of immigration, with 53% saying they disapprove of his performance, an NPR/Marist poll said Tuesday.

Anyway, most Americans aren't really given all the "facts" by the corporate media. I'm not a fan of what most Americans think re politics. It often results in ignorant Constitution busting elections.

Elections have consequences

Duh! Voting away your constitutional rights and giving them over to the Federal Government has consequences.

Maybe Venezuelans will vote Republican. Probably not.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_mo...2F2Qlyvnc2ufoV

I would assume Venezuelans, like Cubans have experience with "socialism" and also authoritarian regimes.
They will have to make a choice.

“The crisis we have is one of too few immigrants, not of too many,” says Charles Kenny, a senior fellow at the Center of Global Development, and Washington D.C., think tank. “If you look at U.N. projections, they suggest that, by 2050, the United States will need 50 million more workers to keep the current proportion of workers to the population overall.”

America’s fertility rates have dropped from 3.65 children per woman in 1960 to 1.73 children per woman in 2021, according to the World Bank. That’s way below the rate of 2.1 children per woman needed to replace annual deaths in the United States.

In the meantime, the growth of America’s total immigrant population has been slowing down in recent decades. The total rise in the U.S. foreign-born population went dropped from 11.5 million people in the 1990s to 8.8 million in the 2000s, to 4.8 million in this decade, according to the Pew Research Center.

Under Trump, the United States administratively reduced legal immigration — yes, you read that right — by about 49 percent, according to the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP).

“The drop in international migration, combined with falling birth rates, resulted in what may have been the slowest decade of population growth in U.S. history — and does not include the additional decline between 2019 and 2020 connected to COVID-19,” a NFAP study says.

The majority of advanced nations, if not just a about all, have had and continue to have severely falling birth rates.

Could it be that the high tech world the advanced nations have evolved into into don't require as much replacement fertility. And maybe even less so with the supposedly soon to be predominance of work being done by artificial intelligence. We are predicted to lose a huge number, several millions, of jobs to robotic systems which can simulate planning and production and delivery more efficiently and less costly than human labor can.

BTW, you have expressed concern for the well being of those countries from whence our illegals are coming--so, if falling fertility rates are a crisis, then are you concerned that they have dangerously been falling in Central America. El Salvador is already under the 2.1 replacement, the others are barely there, if not already so. Would the millions leaving those countries to come here exacerbate their replacement "crisis"? Or are you just a "racist" who doesn't care about the people in brown skin countries?

That's why I specifically asked about Venezuelans--considering their peculiar situation in which productive Venezuelans hate their "socialist" regime. But, then, illegals from the Central American countries aren't exactly in love with the regimes from which they're trying to escape. And they overwhelming vote Democrat.

Probably because the Dems are the ones who want to make it easier for them to come here.

Looks a lot like supposition to me, most Cuban-Americans vote Republican.

“The crisis we have is one of too few immigrants, not of too many,” says Charles Kenny, a senior fellow at the Center of Global Development, and Washington D.C., think tank. “If you look at U.N. projections, they suggest that, by 2050, the United States will need 50 million more workers to keep the current proportion of workers to the population overall.”

Is the current proportion (or less) of workers to overall population going to be a "crisis" in 2050? How does he know that? We have officially 9.3 million unemployed right now. And that's not counting the millions of illegals who are under the radar. Nor the millions who have stopped looking for work. Is that a crisis NOW. If that is not a crisis now, why will it be in 2050? If there are not enough jobs to employ the current population, will there be enough in 2050 if we expand the population with millions of illegals every year. And what's to say that the illegals and their children won't adopt the new American way and refuse to have 2.1 children themselves, thus perpetuating and making worse the "crisis" in 2050?

Your supposition assumes that 9.3 million will not go back to work shortly and that "millions of illegals" somehow survive without working and that anyone is saying that we need to increase the number of illegal immigrants.

America’s fertility rates have dropped from 3.65 children per woman in 1960 to 1.73 children per woman in 2021, according to the World Bank. That’s way below the rate of 2.1 children per woman needed to replace annual deaths in the United States.

Yeah, well the new American lifestyle, assisted by nearly a million abortions every year (1960's seem to be the decade that brought in the new style, including the abundant abortions since the 1970's). No doubt, the illegals, and for sure their children, want a piece of the lifestyle and have contributed to it since then. I don't see how immigration of any kind is a solution for that.
Abortions have consistently dropped since the 70s when they were quantified for the first time, unless you assume that illegal abortions never occurred. But that wouldn't fit your narrative.

In the meantime, the growth of America’s total immigrant population has been slowing down in recent decades. The total rise in the U.S. foreign-born population went dropped from 11.5 million people in the 1990s to 8.8 million in the 2000s, to 4.8 million in this decade, according to the Pew Research Center.

I'm assuming, that many of those foreign born bought into our lifestyle of less than 2.1 children for each woman.
Unsupported supposition

Under Trump, the United States administratively reduced legal immigration — yes, you read that right — by about 49 percent, according to the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP).

I guess with the number of illegals coming in we could cut the number if legals. Anyway, if we need more legals, that's easily fixable. And legal immigration is the only sane and controllable and beneficial for us way to do it.
The last administration did nothing of the sort, thank Mr Miller

Coming from the man who thinks we should bear no responsibility at all for the situation in Central America, you are now thinking of new concerns for me. Tell me again how you learned on YouTube that Mexicans are mentally deficient and rapists.

Oddly enough, Stefan Molyneaux’s YouTube that you linked is no longer available.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Molyneux's views are not always my views. I have said that he annoys me, and that his views on IQ are troublesome. But he makes good points and backs them up with hard data. I don't recall the particular YouTube you're referring to. Perhaps it had to do with the false accusation that Trump said Mexicans are rapists? Making the totally inclusive "Mexicans" rather than "some Mexicans" or a specifically referred to group of Mexicans amounts to a lie . . . probably intentionally so.

At any rate, regardless of what Molyneux said, I don't think that I have made a blanket statement that Mexicans are mentally deficient and rapists. Some are. Some Whites are. Some Blacks are. Some Asians are. And "mentally deficient" is too broad to be useful unless it refers to a particular mental deficiency. Again All races and ethnicities have individuals who are deficient in some way including a specified mental disorder.

Be very afraid, better put a mirror over your computer so you can see the illegals coming.

There are no nuanced, grownup solutions in Chicken Little Carlson’s head. Just like a bad remake of TFG, there are good guys and bad guys and spikes and monsters and killer alligators and moats around castles.
