Border apprehensions are up almost 500% compared to last year, totaling more than 1.3 million\u2014more people than the populations of nine U.S. states. Approximately 9,700 illegal apprehensions have prior criminal convictions. Cartels and traffickers are making $14 million a day moving people illegally across the border,\u201d the letter continues. \u201cMore fentanyl has been seized this fiscal year than the last three years combined\u2014almost 10,500 pounds of fentanyl when only 2 milligrams prove fatal. This is enough to kill seven times the U.S. population.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vermont Governor Phil Scott is the only Republican governor in the U.S. to not sign the letter.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the coalition\u2019s letter, Abbott <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/abbott-calls-on-biden-to-declare-federal-emergency-at-border-stem-overwhelming-surge-of-illegal-migrants\">sent<\/a> a separate request to Biden to issue a federal emergency declaration over the situation on the border. Thousands of illegal migrants are flooding across the border near Del Rio and are currently being held in a makeshift pen underneath an overpass with little access to food, water, and shelter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFamilies, including infants and children, need food, water, and medical supplies that the local government cannot supply,\u201d the governor wrote. \u201cThousands of families are immobilized in 100-degree heat as their numbers continue to swell as they wait to be processed by the approximately 64 federal agents in the area. Individuals are camping in squalid conditions and bathing in muddy river water, causing great health concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abbott also described the impact that the flood of illegal migration has had on Texas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTexas residents\u2019 property is being destroyed; crimes are occurring; humans, deadly drugs and illegal weapons are being smuggled into communities throughout the state; law enforcement is having to redirect their resources; and county judges and mayors are facing skyrocketing expenses. While Texans face the brunt of these negative impacts, it is common knowledge that border-related drugs, weapons, and crimes impact local jurisdictions across the United States,\u201d Abbott wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has attempted to stem the tide of illegal migrants through public warnings that the border is closed. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mayorkas-claims-u-s-borders-not-open-after-thousands-flood-del-rio-historic-border-crisis-continues\">said<\/a> on Monday that illegal immigrants in the U.S. may face expulsion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have reiterated that our borders are not open and people should not make the dangerous journey,\u201d Mayorkas said. \u201cIndividuals and families are subject to border restrictions, including expulsion. Irregular migration poses a significant threat to the health and welfare of border communities and to the lives of the migrants themselves, and should not be attempted. If you come to the United States illegally, you will be returned. Your journey will not succeed, and you will be endangering your life and your family\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
