In the physics of illegal immigration at the U.S. southern border, the long, sweltering days of June and July usually bring traffic to a cyclical ebb.
For the sixth consecutive month since President Joe Biden took office and followed through on campaign promises to dismantle his predecessor's deterrence-based policies, the number of illegal immigrants encountered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection broke records, reaching 210,000 in July, the Associated Press reported Monday.
Based on past trends, the vast majority of those encountered were likely illegal immigrants apprehended by the Border Patrol.
The epicenter of the ongoing border crisis is the Rio Grande Valley region of South Texas.
The July numbers, once finalized and released in the next couple of weeks, will show that the border crisis is going from record high to record high in an upward climb into a red-zone crisis that will defy any control, short of a radical about-face by the Biden administration.
As I first reported from Tapachula, Mexico, in January 2020, the crisis started its run-up to July's record when aspiring immigrants in Central America and beyond, unable to advance through Trump's border restrictions, witnessed every Democratic candidate promise, during internationally televised primary debates, to welcome in all illegal entrants, stop interior removals, end Trump's deportation and asylum policies, grant amnesty to everyone illegally present, and even provide free health care.
Even a Department of Homeland Security national threat assessment, released in October 2020, predicted the current mass illegal immigration crisis at the southern border.
