Not so fast.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the claimed success of the administration\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/news\/2023\/06\/06\/border-encounters-remain-low-biden-harris-administrations-comprehensive-plan-manage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new \u201cstiffer consequences\u201d border management plan<\/a> since the end of the Title 42 pandemic-era instant-expulsion policy on May 11, the historic mass migration crisis rages at full throttle into its third straight year. It rages in three ways that media outlets and even some Republican lawmakers are unwilling to see, acknowledge, or report \u2014 but I\u2019ve witnessed all three firsthand at the southwest border.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>The CBP-One Illusion<\/h3>\n<p>First, the Biden administration is ushering in would-be border jumpers through what it calls a \u201chistoric expansion\u201d of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-border-crisis-is-as-bad-as-ever-his-admin-is-just-better-at-hiding-it\/\" title=\"Biden's border crisis persists, but his administration excels at concealing it.\">granting humanitarian fast-pass entrance slips<\/a> to intending border jumpers via a cell-phone app called \u201cCBP-One.\u201d This historically expanded program allows those who intended to cross illegally between land ports of entry to now be funneled through them and thus not be counted in the politically problematic monthly \u201cillegal crossings\u201d category.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201c70 percent\u201d decline in \u201cillegal crossings\u201d does not mean 70 percent fewer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/japan-bans-new-entries-of-foreigners-after-virus-variant-arrives\/\" title=\"Japan bans new entries of foreigners after virus variant arrives\">foreign nationals<\/a> entered America over the border as implied.<\/p>\n<p>Under the CBP-One rubric, most (if not all) of the administration\u2019s claimed \u201cdecline\u201d in \u201cnon-citizen\u201d migrants are still pouring into American towns and cities that are, in growing numbers, <a href=\"https:\/\/hudsonvalleypost.com\/state-of-emergency-rockland-county-migrants-orange-county-new-york-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">declaring emergencies<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/border\/2023\/06\/14\/exclusive-east-texas-county-400-miles-from-border-declares-migrant-crisis-disaster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demanding<\/a> state and federal bailouts. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BensmanTodd\/status\/1658845807477415936?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here\u2019s what a typical CBP-One line into America looks like on the bridge from Matamoros to Brownsville<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The administration so far has maintained the fiction of steep declines in foreign national border entries through secrecy. It will not release the granular-level CBP-One entry data that would tell Americans how many foreign nationals are crossing on bridges and through airports.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As one measure reflecting the administration\u2019s desire to keep CBP-One entries a state secret, the administration ignored my February 2023 Freedom of Information Act request for granular breakdowns of the entries. My employer, the Center for Immigration Studies, has federally filed suit to force compliance. In a more pointed indication of intent to maintain the shell game, the administration ignored <a href=\"https:\/\/cis.org\/Bensman\/House-Republicans-Demand-Hidden-Statistics-Secretive-Biden-Border-CBP-One-Admittance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a March 2023 formal request for the CBP-One data by Republican lawmakers<\/a>. That leaves the rest of us to guess and extrapolate.<\/p>\n<p>Former Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan, now a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/staff\/mark-morgan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">visiting fellow<\/a> for the Heritage Foundation, did some arithmetic on encounters with \u201cinadmissible aliens\u201d at the southern border land ports and at interior airports through which all CBP-One beneficiaries enter.<\/p>\n<p>He found striking increases in port-of-entry encounters that coincide with the rollout of CBP-One. For instance, in FY 2020, encounters at these borderland and interior ports (excluding the northern border) averaged 20,148 per month during Covid and rose to 45,994 per month in FY 2022, according to Morgan\u2019s tally. But so far in FY 2023 through April, Morgan found 81,512 per month through the same ports, most presumably benefiting from CBP-One.<\/p>\n<p>And this doesn\u2019t include the \u201chistoric increases\u201d that the administration says it ordered for CBP-One in May. Morgan said he thinks the number of migrants going through the ports will hit 100,000 in June, a national record. Then the numbers will rise from there as the administration continues to expand CBP-One so that more than a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/does-citizenship-mean-much-anymore\/\" title=\"Does Citizenship Mean Much Anymore?\">million foreign nationals<\/a> will cross sight unseen.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Spike in Families, Minors, and More<\/h3>\n<p>Second, illegal crossings of family units, unaccompanied minors, and foreign nationals from \u201crecalcitrant countries\u201d are on a sharp upswing. They are crossing illegally between ports after discovering that Biden\u2019s Department of Homeland Security is not rigorously applying the promised harsh punishments of its new plan, which threatens \u201cexpedited removal\u201d under Title 8, wholesale asylum-claim denials, prosecution, and five-year bans on legal reentry.<\/p>\n<p>I just came back from Mexico and the Border Patrol\u2019s Del Rio Sector, which is experiencing a major surge of illegal crossings again. What I found <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/06\/04\/families-are-flooding-us-border-following-title-42s-end-because-bidens-rules-dont-apply-to-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">and reported in the New York Post<\/a> is that family groups in line for CBP-One finally discovered that they could abandon their spots in line, cross illegally, and still gain entrance into America with none of the promised negative consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s rules do not apply to families, and so their numbers are spiking from the 25,000 monthly range in January and February to 44,900 in May. Expect torrents of them going forward. There is also evidence that unaccompanied minors are flooding in at the pre-Title 42 rate of 11,000-12,000 per month because they too are exempt from the new, supposedly tough rules.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to families and solo teens who are all but guaranteed quick releases, the administration is allowing large numbers of aliens, single adults and families alike, from dozens of distant countries to go free into the United States on the same personal recognizance with notice-to-appear papers. Large spigots are open in the Yuma and in the Rio Grande Valley sectors.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent layover at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, I saw <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BensmanTodd\/status\/1665902567984074752?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hundreds of the released, like these Senegalese and Mauritanian men<\/a>, waiting for flights to <a href=\"http:\/\/furthermore%2C%20there%20is%20evidence%20that%20unaccompanied%20minors%20also%20are%20flooding%20in%20for%20the%20same%20reason.%20young%20teens%20traveling%20alone%20are%20exempt%20from%20the%20new%20rules%20and%20so%2C%20naturally%2C%20they%20too%20are%20still%20pouring%20across%20just%20like%20when%20title%2042%20was%20in%20effect%20and%20exempted%20them.\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">airports all over America<\/a>. They are identifiable by the plastic bags they all carry full of DHS documents. They crossed illegally because they too learned that Biden will not back up his Title 8 tough talk. The administration is releasing thousands of extra-continental aliens every month, among them Afghans, Sudanese, Egyptians, Somalis, and more.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Third, the number of runners and \u201cgot-aways\u201d appears to have spiked since May 11.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cis.org\/Video\/VIDEO-Overwhelmed-Border-Patrol-Missing-Epidemic-Runners-and-Gotaways\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">As I recently reported<\/a> from Juarez and New Mexico along the Arizona state line, a major outbreak is now underway of \u201crunners\u201d who hope to evade Border Patrol and enter the U.S. illegally by hiring professional human smugglers. Upon entering successfully, runners will be tallied by Border Patrol as \u201cgot-aways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The government does not release these numbers, but they are widely leaked and show that a surge of runners and got-aways is underway. Since Biden took office, some 1.7 million foreign nationals have become got-aways in total, smashing historic records. Now that number seems only to be going up.<\/p>\n<p>In April, more than 70,000 were reported on the border and in the interior, and in May about 60,000, according to leaked figures I received. These kinds of monthly numbers reside at the far upper scale of got-away tallies even for the Biden administration, judging by data that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/the-oversight-project\/securing-americas-borders\/border-security-more-statistics-and-reporting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heritage Foundation\u2019s \u201cOversight Project\u201d received through FOIA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Consider that got-aways tallied at the 25,000-per-month range during FY 2021, which came in at 308,655, according to the Heritage Foundation\u2019s numbers. It doubled to 50,000 per month in FY 2022 when 606,150 got-aways were tallied, according to data shared with me.<\/p>\n<p>At 60,000-70,000 a month and higher, FY 2023 is projected to top 1 million got-aways.<\/p>\n<p>This is happening because got-aways most typically are foreign nationals who know their criminal backgrounds, warrants, or other ineligibilities would preclude them from CBP-One or catch-and-release. They also know the Biden government has all but ended interior enforcement, a big bonus. So they are running a nominal \u201cblockade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In all three of these ways, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-allows-child-migrant-detention-centers-to-open-at-100-capacity-eyes-giving-them-new-name-reports\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Allows Child Migrant Detention Centers To Open At 100% Capacity, Eyes Giving Them New Name: Reports\">border crisis continues<\/a> at the same historic, stratospheric levels as when Biden took office \u2014 the only difference being that Fox News drones can see very little of any of this.<\/p>\n<p>Out of sight, though, should never mean out of mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Biden and his team are misleadingly claiming that &#8220;non-citizen&#8221; border crossings have dropped by 70%, using deceptive accounting methods.
