Quote:As we noted, Fox’s Bill Melugin did note that some were being interdicted by action coming from Mexico and the Texas DPS and Texas National Guard, not because of interdiction from Mayorkas or the U.S. government. He also noted that this was likely a temporary lull and the numbers would rise again.

But now Melugin has posted a shocking video, shocking even by Biden administration standards for failed security at the border. This video not only shows them not stopping people, but it also shows a female U.S. soldier opening up a gate onto private property and letting a steady stream of dozens of illegal aliens onto the property. There’s a Border Patrol boat in the water watching and allowing all this to happen. A bus pulls up and whisks them away, clearly showing coordination to let them enter illegally and receive them.

“NEW: Security video from a contact in Eagle Pass, TX shows a large group of migrants crossing illegally onto private property this morning,” Melugin tweeted. “Crossings have been down big in Texas last few days, but are expected to rise again as cartels/smugglers figure out the post T42 border.”

“I asked the Texas National Guard if this is one of their soldiers who opens the gate for the group of migrants,” Melugin explained. “They tell me she is NOT a TX soldier & is not TX ARNG. I’m told she is a Title 10 soldier from the Missouri ARNG under orders from the federal gov & working w/ BP.”

The National Guard and the Border Patrol aren’t responding to inquiries, of course. How can they possibly justify something like this? Is the military that Biden detailed to the border stopping illegal entry or facilitating it?

This isn’t enforcing the law — this is assisting in human trafficking. Any U.S. soldier must defend our borders and our laws, but this is what they are being told to do by their higher-ups, so this is all on Joe Biden. And why are they allowing them onto private property, in addition to everything else?

Meanwhile, Biden is laughing and getting snotty with reporters, trying to buffalo us by telling them that it’s “much better than you all expected.”

BREAKING POLL: Majority of Americans say illegal immigration is getting 'worse,' say border is in 'crisis'

Quote:A new poll has revealed a majority of Americans say the situation at the southern border is a crisis, and that the illegal immigration issue in the country is only getting worse.

The poll, conducted by Rasmussen, found that 66 percent of Americans think the situation at the southern border, in which illegal immigration has spiked to historic levels under Biden’s tenure, is a crisis. 22 percent said that the situation wasn’t a crisis, while 12 percent said they weren’t sure.

Among political parties, Democrats were more likely to say that the situation isn’t a crisis, with 38 percent saying it is not, while 46 percent said it was. Conservatives, and those who responded "other", overwhelmingly said the situation was a crisis, at 82 and 70 percent, respectively.

Broken down by political ideology, a majority of conservatives, 86 percent, said it was a crisis. 58 percent of moderates and 37 percent of liberals responded as such.

The poll also found that a majority of Americans say the problem of illegal immigration is getting worse, at 57 percent. 12 percent said it was getting better, 29 percent said it was around the same, and 2 percent said they weren’t sure.

The number of those who say the problem is getting worse is up from August, which saw 54 percent of Americans respond as such.

47 percent of Democrats said that the situation was around the same as it has been, while 21 percent of the party’s voters said the situation was getting better, and 29 percent said it was getting worse.

Among Republicans, 80 percent said the situation was getting worse, while 13 percent said the situation as about the same, and 7 percent said it was getting better. 65 percent of "other" voters said the situation was getting worse, while 26 percent said it was about the same, and 5 percent said it was getting better.

78 percent of conservatives, 49 percent of moderates, and 27 percent of liberals said the situation was getting worse. Among liberals, the majority, 52 percent, said the situation was about the same as it has been.

The poll was conducted by Rasmussen between May 8 and 10, ahead of Title 42’s expiration, of 982 likely US voters.

The poll comes as Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday that the Border Patrol had seen a 50 percent drop in the number of encounters "versus what we were experiencing earlier in the week before Title 42 ended at midnight on Thursday."

Mayorkas cautioned though that it was "too early" to tell whether the surge of illegal border crossings has peaked.

In fiscal year 2022, illegal immigration at the southern border reached its peak in May, with 241,136 encounters. Another smaller peak was seen in September of 2022, with 227,547 encounters, according to Customs and Border Patrol statistics.

In fiscal year 2021, which began in the last months of the Trump administration and continued into Biden’s first year, a sharp increase was seen in March, after Biden was inaugurated in late January. From February to March of that year, 70,000 more people were encountered by authorities, and these encounters have remained at elevated levels under Biden’s tenure. Fiscal year 2021’s peak was seen in July of that year, with 213,593 encounters.

Here, let me get that for ya! Come on in.

Not sure what the point of polls are showing how Americans feel anymore. They don’t care what any of us think. Elections are baked, there will be no consequences for their actions.

I am not averse to a good pole dance, but would be terrified as to what debris from bodily functions that this girl cannot reach to clean up as her fat arse slides along that pole. Hard pass.
