Notice the headline truthfully states "ILLEGAL" --The total number of southwest land border encounters since Biden assumed office in 2021 is 7,298,486, according to US Customs and Border Protection data. This number is larger than the population of 36 US states, including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The total does not include an estimated additional 1.8 million known "gotaways" who evaded law enforcement, which would make it bigger than New York. -- Republicans and anti-illegal immigration activists have long blamed Biden for the current overwhelming surge of migrants, attributing it to his reversal of former President Donald Trump's border policies. The Biden administration, however, has denied responsibility for the crisis, pointing to external "push" factors like violence and economic instability in South and Central America. Despite the administration's claims, critics argue that migrants face more of a "pull" factor in the form of job opportunities and government benefits, knowing they will not face deportation under Biden's lenient policies. The administration's refusal to enforce existing immigration law and its policies such as catch-and-release, mass parole, and offering temporary work permits to foreigners making dubious claims for asylum have been heavily criticized.--https://mxmnews.com/article/e5c58378-f507-4782-864b-4751f9df5b1f?utm_medium=email&utm_source=ncl_amplify&utm_campaign=240222-22224_mxm_newsletter&utm_content=ncl-mRNEUefw8G&_nlid=mRNEUefw8G&_nhids=BVziymDb
