US border encounters jump amid increased migration from Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba

[Scott]

 

US Customs and Border Protection encounters along the US-Mexico border have already topped 2 million so far this fiscal year, according to newly released agency data, with migration from countries like Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba driving numbers up.

In August, migrant encounters jumped to 203,598 along the US southern border, data shows. Of those, 22% involved people who crossed more than once.

This is from last year. I wonder if they are prepared to admit it is a crisis now?

On March 1, Mayorkas emphatically said “the answer is no” when asked if there was a crisis, saying instead that there is a “challenge at the border that we are managing.”

On March 2, Psaki reiterated the administration would “approach this without labeling.” She again declined to describe it as a crisis on March 5, March 9 and March 10 when asked directly whether she would attribute the word “crisis” to the situation.

yea. We miss the good old days when the economy was crushed & unemployment skyrocketed due to the worst pandemic response in the world. Weren’t many border crossings. 
Bring back Trump. No jobs- no border crossings. Simple.

Every country has problems at the border. 
Republicans call it a crisis when Democrats are in charge.

Republicans know immigration is a huge issue with the bigots and racists.

Last week it was “pronouns” that had the usual posters all agitated. 
Must be an election soon.

The 24/7 Republican political infomercials disguised as news produce fact resistant humans as they mock science, education, push conspiracies, hate and fear to outrage & motivate the voters. 
Anything that gets in their way needs to be demonized and fought against at every step -- taxation, environmental regulations, worker rights, higher minimum wage, education & universal health care. 

 

The Republican ’blue collar base’ has been programed by the Republicans behavioral science marketing to vote against their own interests out of fear & hatred of their perceived enemies, the “evil, anti American Democrats.” 

 

They hate the Democrats more than they love the Republicans. 

 

Studies show that the Right Wing News audience are consistently the most ill informed viewers of all major media, dwelling in an alternate reality of fake news and conspiracy. 

The gaslighting has weaponized ignorance & convinced viewers that fake news is real and real news is fake.

That's what WALLS are for. All Trump had to do was order the Army Corps of Engineers to construct a real wall from the gulf to the Pacific. But he wimped out on that.

He tried, but couldn't get funding for it till he apparently diverted funds to the wall he did build. I'm surprised you don't remember all that.

Yes it is very unfortunate that these liberal saps in government, at all levels, can block necessary enforcement projects while taking the country to ruin. Lot to be said for a more authoritarian democracy: You can be sure this wall would have been built with Singaporean style.

and what about the Corp of Engineers that you apparently think can build it without funds?

I tell you what I remember.

 

’Mexico will pay for the wall’.

 

Steve Bannon pocketing millions donated by ‘gullibles’ to ‘build a wall’.

 

Steve Bannon being handed a pardon from Trump.

 

I seem to recall something in the news last week about Bannon going to trial.

You see when liberals "give the viewers informed news" what it really is propaganda and now information"   So when left wingers say the Right is the least infomed that means they are the least indoctrinated.
