Why are people swimming the Rio Grande?

People have been swimming across the Rio Grande all my life. We/the US has been trying to stop it all my life.
No one has figured out a way to do that 100%.

My point is that if we/the US is catching as many illegals as we can and sending them back,then don't call that an open border.

Whoever said that is a liar.

We are hiring more people to work at the border, to siphon more and more illegals faster and faster.

How could someone not be aware of that?

Grab the mayo and mustard folks. Border patrol is making sandwiches.

They are being pulled off of drug trafficking, child trafficking, and every other major crime they are hired to work on to make sandwiches for illegal immigrants crossing the border. That is what one border patrol agent brought to Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley’s attention.

In turn, Hawley brought the misuse of these agents to the attention of U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, who did not deny the claim in a recent hearing.

“Are there HSI special agents who are currently at the border having them pulled away from other cases?” Hawley asked of Mayorkas in a video shared on X. Mayorkas responded by diverting the answer in a wrong direction.

This is wild. Joe Biden's DHS is taking agents off child trafficking cases to make sandwiches for illegal aliens at the southern border.

It's not the poor schmuck with their kids in tow, and who only want to make a better life for their families

Only about 2% of the tens of thousands of migrants(approx. 140,000) who have poured into the Big Apple since the asylum seeker crisis started have actually applied for work authorization permits, the latest data shows.

Roughly 3,200 asylum seekers in New York City have filed the required paperwork needed to start earning a legal paycheck — some 18 months after the relentless migrant influx first began, according to figures provided by City Hall.

1,495 of those work authorization applications have been filed through the city’s Asylum Application Help Center since the facility opened back in June, the figures show.

Meanwhile, another 1,700 work applications were submitted last month when the Biden administration sent Department of Homeland Security staffers to Gotham for a two-week stretch to help speed through the bureaucratic process.

The harm Biden has done can never be completely undone, but if we get Trump, this will stop, and be partially unraveled.

Our next legitimate president needs to revive President Eisenhower's "Operation Wetback" on a massive scale.

That was an entirely different thing. It was Mexican, not South American workers.

Nope. Most are military aged males.
