Border Patrol reports ‘Biden’ migrant surge along southwest boundary already underway


 BPR  "U.S. immigration authorities say they are beginning to see an uptick in illegal border crossings from Mexico, as it appears as though migrants are anticipating major changes in policy under a potential Joe Biden administration.

"“Border Patrol agents are already seeing a Biden surge in illegal immigration at the southwest border, officials said Thursday, with the numbers surging 21% over the last month alone,” the Washington Times reported."

. . . "Morgan suggested those kinds of policy change pledges are resonating south of the border.

“ 'Make no mistake, that is going to sound the alarm that our borders are open,” he said, according to the Times. “You will see a crisis that makes last year’s crisis look like child’s play. And you can take that to the bank.”

"Biden is also planning to target the Migrant Protection Protocols, which are known as the Trump administration’s “remain in Mexico” policy. Under its provisions, CBP officers were allowed to send tens of thousands of migrants to Mexico where they waited for their U.S. immigration hearing.

"Morgan said that policy alone was responsible for dramatically curbing migrant caravans because it took away a key incentive — gaining a foothold in the U.S." . . .
