The article is captioned "A 'radical shift' at the border is making things tougher for Biden", and begins: There's a major detail missing from many conversations about the rising number of migrants coming to the US-Mexico border.
Since DHS issued that press release over four years ago, the situation at the Southwest border has only gotten worse, as the share of illegal entrants who are "Other than Mexican" and who are also not from the Northern Triangle countries CNN references at the Southwest border has surged.
Of the more than 1.816 million aliens apprehended by Border Patrol at the Southwest border in the first 10 months of FY 2022, more than 732,600 were OTM/ONTs, "Long-distance migrants" from countries as far away as China, India, and Romania.
Of the 10.2 million illegal migrants apprehended by Border Patrol at the Southwest border between FY 2000 and FY 2009, 9.6 million were Mexican nationals.
Border Patrol facilities were built in the late 1990s and early 2000s to accommodate those single adult Mexican males, who could be processed in eight hours or less and quickly removed or returned back across the border.
As Fox News reported on August 30, Biden's own Border Patrol chief, Raul Ortiz, admitted under oath during a deposition in litigation brought by the state of Florida that the president's "Border policies have 'no consequences' for illegal migrants traveling into the U.S. and are to blame for the unprecedented surge at the border and release of hundreds of thousands into the interior of the country".
Biden's own Border Patrol chief has admitted the president's policies fail to impose consequences for illegal entry and so the welcome mat to the whole world at the Southwest border will remain until the administration itself wakes up and pulls it back.
