Last month, Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 209,000 illegal aliens at the southern border. But they weren’t just caught and sent back. Most were bused and flown into communities all over America.

It also means August was the second month in a row when more than 200,000 illegal immigrants crossed our border. More than 8,000 migrants are being held under a bridge in Texas because we have nowhere to put them.

This is a problem entirely of Joe Biden’s making. The August 2021 figures are 317% higher than August of 2020 and 233% higher than August of 2019. The only thing that changed from 2019 and 2020 to now is who occupies the Oval Office.

Joe Biden promised a massive amnesty if he won, and the whole world took notice. More than 61,000 illegal immigrants caught at the border last month are “OTMs” — “other than Mexicans.” More than 750 Russians were caught at the southern border in August, along with 251 Turks and 374 Indians.

This is insane! Hundreds of thousands of people crossing our border is a huge national security risk.

Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress aren’t doing anything to help. They’re actually making it worse by trying to jam a massive amnesty into their obscene $3.5 trillion spending bill.

Believe it or not, they’re trying to justify this radical change to immigration policy in a budget bill that they intend to pass on a straight party-line vote by claiming their amnesty will cost taxpayers $105 billion.

That should be a reason NOT to do it! But that’s left-wing logic for you.

By the way, the Democrat amnesty will include illegal alien gang members, convicted sex offenders and drunk drivers. How do I know that? Because Democrats voted to include them. How’s that for left-wing logic?!

I know there are a lot of things congressional Republicans are trying to fight right now. And I know the liberal media aren’t giving them half the coverage they deserve. But somehow they have got to grab headlines and make news to expose this outrageous crisis on our southern border.

Polling shows that the vast majority of Americans are grossly unaware about the true extent of the crisis.
