Plus, if you add the getaways, that&#8217;s going to be over 5 million individuals in just two years. No, the border is not secure, and we&#8217;ve got to make sure that we have repercussions there.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>On this, Cuellar is right. And the ramifications are dire. As columnist Deroy Murdock wrote earlier this month, &#8220;The U.S. Department of Homeland Security reports that the Mexican cartels\u2019 income from smuggling illegal aliens into America has soared from $500 million in 2018 to <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/wpde.com\/news\/nation-world\/cartels-making-13-billion-a-year-off-smuggling-migrants-through-border-nyt-report-says-mexio-immigrants-coyote-texas\">$13 billion<\/a> this year \u2014 up 2,500%.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>And, speaking of those &#8220;getaways,&#8221; <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2022\/10\/07\/numbers-dont-lie-border-disaster-brought-to-you-by-biden-hill-democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Murdock wrote<\/a>: &#8220;In fiscal year 2020, the last one fully under Trump\u2019s control, 69,000 illegal aliens were detected on the &#8216;border,&#8217; but <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/border-officials-count-599000-gotaway-migrants-fiscal-year-2022-source\">got away<\/a> into America\u2019s interior. Fiscal year 2021 (four months of Trump, eight of Biden) witnessed 389,155 got-aways \u2014 up 464%. In fiscal year 2022 (all on Biden\u2019s watch), got-aways hit 599,000 \u2014 up 54% versus fiscal year 2021 and 768% compared with fiscal year 2020.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>This is both a humanitarian disaster and a crisis of U.S. sovereignty. <\/p>\n<p>At least Cuellar understands that the only way to keep his seat is to admit the awful truth about his party&#8217;s mismanagement, or deliberate failure to maintain sovereignty, at the border. If Harris and the whole Biden team would stop lying and start doing their jobs, Cuellar&#8217;s moment of truth-telling wouldn&#8217;t be at all remarkable. <\/p>\n<p>But the Biden-created crisis is real, and it&#8217;s a major reason Democrats are likely to get their House majority overwhelmingly defeated in elections two weeks hence. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic Rep.
