But the problem is they\u2019re actually being led by ideology rather than reality. I\u2019ve served in this country for 35 years, six administrations, both Republican and Democrat. I\u2019ve never seen an administration filled with so many ideologues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morgan\u2019s comments come on the heels of Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/03\/25\/politics\/border-surge-immigration\/index.html\">telling<\/a> CNN last week that he is preparing for an unprecedented surge of migrants. Ortiz said as many as 8,000 people could be apprehended daily, which, according to CNN, is \u201cmore than double the daily number of the 2019 surge under the Trump administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re managing a flow that\u2019s significant,\u201d Ortiz said. \u201cAs I get to, you know, 7,000 to 7,500 a day average, that\u2019s going to put additional strain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The latest border controversy fueling debate surrounds Title 42, a policy first implemented by Trump in March 2020. The pandemic-era policy, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), allows for the swift deportation of some migrants encountered at the border. It is responsible for the expulsion of about 1.7 million migrants.<\/p>\n<p>Internal Department of Homeland Security documents <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/over-dem-objections-biden-admin-on-track-to-end-pandemic-policy-that-allows-swift-deportation-of-migrants\/\">obtained<\/a> by The Washington Free Beacon show that the agency has been preparing meetings on Title 42\u2019s termination, only a day after a few Democrats urged Biden not to end the policy. Morgan says \u201ceverything\u201d he has been \u201chearing\u201d indicates the White House will terminate it before the CDC rolls it back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cartels and smugglers are paying attention to the policies,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019ve started to exploit that. I\u2019m hearing the March numbers are going to be in excess of 200,000. That\u2019s the highest monthly numbers in our lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There has been a continued uptick in drug trafficking from Mexico, border officials <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/border-drug-trafficking-mexico-texas\">said<\/a> recently.<\/p>\n<p>The El Paso, Texas, sector seized more than four times the amount of methamphetamine in 2021 compared to 2018.\u00a0Last month, CBP announced it has seen a \u201csubstantial increase\u201d in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/more-fentanyl-seized-at-u-s-borders-than-heroin-for-first-time-in-u-s-history?fbclid=IwAR3DN8Ok_rAl9FK9zdF2J0DklOV8jE4uL3uC5v6RFNeRmWqX43OGl0GT4Mo\">fentanyl<\/a> seizures since just January \u2014 with 839 pounds seized that month compared to 682 in 2021 and 139 in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMexican criminal drug networks are harnessing the perfect drug trafficking tool: social media applications that are available on every smartphone,\u201d DEA Administrator Anne Milgram said after the release of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dea.gov\/press-releases\/2021\/12\/17\/dea-reveals-criminal-drug-networks-are-flooding-us-deadly-fentanyl-1\">report<\/a> showing a \u201cdirect link between fentanyl-related overdose deaths and criminal drug networks in Mexico.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CBP did not return The Daily Wire\u2019s request for comment Monday morning.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration announced a new federal regulation last Thursday that would lessen the amount of time migrants have to spend making an asylum claim. Attorney General Merrick Garland says it \u201cwill help reduce the burden on our immigration courts.\u201d Morgan calls the process a \u201crubber stamp\u201d that will provide many illegal aliens with a swift path to citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has sought to supplement existing border resources with technology to detect illicit activity and disrupt the flow of drugs. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-bill\/1177\/text\">agenda<\/a> was laid out in the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, which was proposed by the president on his first day in office and introduced by Rep. Linda S\u00e1nchez (D-CA).<\/p>\n<p>But Morgan said there is \u201cnot enough technology\u201d stop the surge right now. He called it a \u201cf***ing joke,\u201d remarking, \u201cUntil you stem the flow of illegal immigration, you\u2019re never going to be able to secure this border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement officials are on pace to record over 200,000 detentions of migrants along the southwest border this month, according to preliminary data obtained by The Washington Post. This would signal the highest levels since August. Last year, the U.S. had the most migrant arrests on record \u2014 nearly 1.6 million \u2014 while migrant encounters were over 2 million.<\/p>\n<p><i>Send story tips to Gabe Kaminsky at\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"mailto:gekaminsky@protonmail.com\"><i>gekaminsky@protonmail.com<\/i><\/a><i>.
