"SNIP......

Washington Post: “We looked at data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection to see whether there’s a ‘crisis’ — or even a ‘surge,’ as many news outlets have characterized it. We analyzed monthly CBP data from 2012 to now and found no crisis or surge that can be attributed to Biden administration policies.”

“Rather, the current increase in apprehensions fits a predictable pattern of seasonal changes in undocumented immigration combined with a backlog of demand because of 2020’s coronavirus border closure.”

1. The MSM needed to find something to hammer Biden with...

there's no DRAMA in praising a president for a job well done. People will stop watching.
This is what they've got and they're running with it hard.

Glad to see that some actual journalists are doing the math.

3. Hmmm I figured as much

Just a bullshit narrative to replace the constant agitation Trump provided on his own.

Congressman Henry Cuellar predicts the U.S. is weeks, maybe even days, away from a critical situation along the southern border.

A challenge could be heading to the border.

“In the last 7 days in the valley they have stopped 10,000 individuals and 2,500 individuals in the last two days and many are being released.”

Cuellar fears a recent increase in migrant apprehensions along the southern border could lead to a surge.

A surge he says the country is currently unprepared to handle in the middle of the pandemic.

He does point out the number of migrants apprehended is not as high in Laredo when comparing it to the valley, but says it won’t be long before the gateway city sees the ripple effect.
