New Migrant Wave Straining Arizona Border With Many Detained in Outside Cages
“We have a cameraman in the sector right now, where large numbers of single adult men from Africa have been crossing illegally, including many from Senegal. People from all over the world arrive in the Tucson sector.”
***I’m going to attempt a border post a day. This subject keeps getting glossed over yet it remains a problem.
The Arizona border remains strained as the border patrol has to keep migrants detained in outdoor cages.
We first saw migrants in cages in Ajo, AZ, over the summer.
A new video shows the problem has become worse.
Right now in Ajo AZ Sector for the Border Patrol. Hundreds in custody on top of what was caught last night. Already getting reports of large numbers crossing and Border Patrol trying to respond. They are overwhelmed and this administration
is letting this happen with no support! pic.twitter.com/Kkqv3xq8h9— John Fabbricatore (@JohnE_Fabb) September 13, 2023

Arizona is the new hotspot. From Fox News:
The sector has seen 2,000 illegal crossings a day for three days, and agents have resorted to street releases in order to decompress the packed shelters. The population includes migrants from Africa, including many from Senegal.
It has quickly become one of the most intense areas of a crisis that is again escalating as numbers increase. Sources told Fox that agents apprehended more than 7,400 illegal migrants at the border on Tuesday, and numbers have stayed above the 7,000 mark for three days straight. When combined with encounters at ports of entry, that number hit 9,100.
Sources told Fox News on Thursday that early indications show migrant encounters for August on track to exceed 230,000, making it the sixth month this fiscal year over 200,000.
The Border Patrol can only hold migrants for a certain amount of time. If the facility is at capacity, officials release “asylum seekers under parole directly into border communities that are often unequipped to help them.”
The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office is ready for the street releases.
The county borders the Mexican state of Sonora. It is also home to Sierra Vista, Bisbee, and Tombstone.
Sheriff Dannels isn’t frustrated:
“The migrants being released are from outside Cochise County but were bussed to Cochise County, processed and then released. Cochise County is a rural county with limited resources leaving these migrants vulnerable. In short, this lack of humanitarian consideration poses risk for the migrants.” Sheriff DANNELS continued, “I applaud the local CBP agents and their leadership for doing all they legally can during this on-going crisis and I repeat my statement, ‘The intellectual avoidance and abandonment with intended consequences’ by those leaders in Washington DC reference our southern border continues to be a slippery slope for those doing everything we can to protect our quality of life here in Cochise County!”

…and the governor of a border state wants to take your right to self-defense along with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness away from law-abiding citizens.
Really? Does anyone actually think that they motel-hopped all the way to the border?
Why aren’t these holding areas surrounded with razor wire?
What’s the point? If they weren’t letting them out as fast as they arrived, they’d be 30 deep by now.
Sooner or later the story of how big this problem is both short term and long term will penetrate into the general public’s awareness. Higher consumption of scarce local tax resources, over crowded schools, non reimbursed medical care, lower wages, crime. Heck more people = more 1st world energy demands more pollution and more folks living in our modern disposable culture filling up the trash heaps. Lots of costs that are obsessed but not totaled with the benefits flowing to employers in the form of artificially reduced wages and those functionaries who hand out govt checks whether in govt or in ‘nonprofits’.
It’s going to be a tough one CommoChief… the illegals tend to think and vote conservative. The left really blew this one.
Still a humongous problem, but not the one the progressives thought they were landing us with.
The Dems own the illegals… if they didn’t they wouldn’t be letting them in. Name one area other than Miami with a disproportionate amount of illegals that didn’t go blue or bluer….
Maybe they should weld those gates shut again. Just a suggestion.
Notice how many “Mexicans” there are in that top picture? (“Mexicans” in quotes, because the ignoranti think that everybody who crosses into Texas is a Mexican.)
Yep. It’s been overwhelmingly Central Americans with the occasional surge of Haitians fro some time plus more than a few Central Asians and Africans in recent years. Not to mention folks seem to ignore that 1/3 ish of illegals are visa over stays. Folks get a work or student visa and sometimes a tourist visa to enter the US and just never leave. That aspect needs much more public attention and far more effective mitigation.
We already have something like a quarter of the Mexican populace living here. We’re must be by far their biggest industry, which is amazing given the number of US industries that have moved south.
Finally, a fence that AOC can cry in front of.
The idiocy of current migration in the developed world. Blame the past while allowing worse. Human suffering for profit. Here, it’s Biden crime against humanity. Elsewhere, it’s likely no better, and the deterioration is more advanced.
The costs are untold. Shame on those that pretend.
And they whined that President Trump mistreated illegal aliens?
Overcrowding, no problem. Just ship them to LA and SF just like Abbott did.
Very few
>>“We have a cameraman in the sector right now, where large numbers of single adult men from Africa have been crossing illegally, including many from Senegal. People from all over the world arrive in the Tucson sector.”<<
Wait. What? There are Africans and Senegalese are now illegally crossing the Southern border into the United States?!?!? When the heck did that start happening.
I've also read that CBP patrols have rounded up Chinese nationals attempting to illegally enter the United States.
Will the effing insanity ever stop?
>>The Arizona border remains strained as the border patrol has to keep migrants detained in outdoor cages.<<
But didn't the CBP just increase the daily "Bookout" quota (ie. daily release quota) so that more illegals will be released into the United States thus relieving the pressure due to the huge numbers of illegals being detained in detention? Seem to remember reading something about that hereabouts.
They need to put these people on planes and send them right back where they came from.
Mule trains
Is there anyone left in Central America?
Maybe that’s the reason, abandoned beach and mountain acreage
Cheap, just pay the cartel
I thought we had it bad, and then I heard about Lampedusa, Italy.
