Biden’s Executive Order Shows No Impact on Border Crisis
“Overall, there were roughly 5,600 CBP encounters yesterday, which includes the 4,000 illegal crossings and CBP One App releases at ports of entry.”
Border patrol sources told Fox News’s Griff Jenkins and Bill Melugin that President Joe Biden’s executive order supposedly limiting asylum seekers on the border has shown no impact.
No impact besides going into effect immediately because no one is seeking asylum.
There are too many caveats and exceptions and insufficient personnel to handle everyone.
“President Biden is issuing a presidential proclamation that will temporarily suspend the entry of non-citizens across the southern border once the number of average border encounters exceeds 2,500 a day over seven days, officials said,” said the White House. “That will stay in effect until 14 days after there has been a seven-day average of less than 1,500 encounters along the border.”
Daily crossings have averaged 4,000 people daily.
That means officials should have stopped many people starting yesterday.
Well…Jenkins wrote on Twitter:
NEW ~ NO IMPACT: CBP sources tell me & @BillMelugin_ that in the first full day of Biden’s EO – no impact on the border… plus NEW numbers since Biden took office:
Yesterday, Border Patrol apprehended just about 4,000 illegal immigrants between ports of entry at the southern border.
On par w/ averages in recent weeks…

On top of that, CBP data provided by our sources shows over 1,000 illegal immigrants were released into the U.S. yesterday, just in San Diego sector alone. Mass catch & release continues.

I know it’s conservative stations covering the border, but come on. Melugin and others interview the people crossing the border. They rarely mention asylum.
Spoke to some Venezuelan & Colombian men who crossed illegally into Jacumba, CA. None of them came for asylum, telling me they came to the U.S. for work & family & are planning to travel to different cities in the U.S.
The narrative that everyone is an asylum seeker is false. pic.twitter.com/uQUcKKtH0u

This morning, 200 people crossed into Jacumba, CA. They came from China, India, Mauritania, Peru, and other countries.
Gee, I wonder how many are claiming asylum?
I’m going to say none.
BREAKING: Mass illegal crossing of approximately 200 from around the world just happened here in Jacumba, CA. Day number two of Biden’s executive order – & we see zero impact here at the border. Large groups continue to cross without fear here in San Diego sector. pic.twitter.com/iQiqvoIxyb

Bill and his team witnessed another large crossing, around 140, this afternoon, made up of mostly adult males.
Most of them came from China, Egypt, and Turkey.
It took over four hours for border patrol to come to get them.
NEW: This is what undermanned Border Patrol has to deal with out here in Jacumba, CA. There is one single agent here who has to try to corral this huge group of 140, which has been waiting here for over 5 hours and is becoming impatient. Language barriers too. Egypt, China, etc pic.twitter.com/DDx0cx3lkS

Boy, is that Venezuelan guy going to be disappointed! He though he was escaping on socialist utopia just to walk into another.
I hope he considers his vote wisely.
Too many socialist peons believe that socialism can work… if only the “right people” are in charge.
“No impact besides going into effect immediately because no one is seeking asylum.”
It is not meant to stop border ‘crossers’… It is meant to change the polling and potential voting
As an average 12-year-old might ask, “If they’re able to stop everybody over the first 2,500 every day, why can’t they just stop all of them?”
And, the politician admonishes the child with, “You’re too young to understand”.
You say none of them are seeking asylum. I get that they’re not actually seeking asylum, but have they not even learned the magic words “I seek asylum”, which they must pronounce when they first encounter the Border Patrol?!
It’s always smoke and mirrors.
Of course the presidential diktat had no effect. It was designed that way! And it exists only for its propaganda value.
For those keeping score at home, most election prediction models have now moved Virginia to ‘toss up.’ Biden carried Virginia by 10-points. Not that long ago, Virginia was considered reliably blue.
The conviction and the ‘Executive Order’ on immigration are not producing the intended outcome.
