A long line of “hundreds” of migrants from all over the world lined up to cross the border into the United States at Yuma, Arizona at 2:45am Monday morning. the Daily Caller’s Jorge Ventura tweeted video of the overwhelming border scene, and noted one unbelievable detail: there was only “1 border patrol agent” available to begin the processing.

Ventura also reported on details that have not been widely discussed by the media, such as where the individuals are coming from. The large migrant groups include women, children and “single males from India” reports Ventura.

Other migrants said they we’re from Cuba, Columbia, Peru and Venezuela. Ventura notes many migrants were smuggled to the border by human smugglers, and that many of those who arrived in Yuma “fly into the Mexicali airport and take a charter bus or taxi straight to a crossing point.”

The Daily Caller reports “the number of migrants encountered at the southern border in May shattered records, with agents encountering 239,416 migrants, according to authorities. Roughly one quarter of those encountered had previously been encountered by authorities and 69% were single adults, according to CBP. There was a 21% increase in unaccompanied children from May.”

The first month of 2023 at the southern border is already looking bleak; just take a look at the numbers. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in El Paso, Texas have seized over 500 pounds of hard drugs in January alone.

Additionally, the agency apprehended 62 people they were able to identify as having outstanding arrest warrants. Among the criminals were sex offenders.

The devastating numbers are not surprising, given that in December, the El Paso mayor declared a sate of emergency “after record numbers of people were released onto city streets and sidewalks by the Biden administration” reports The Center Square.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott also “sent 400 National Guard troops to restore order and provide humanitarian assistance” adds the media outlet. Border Patrol data showed in December, 55,766 illegal foreign nationals were apprehended in the El Paso Sector.

There were also 32,632 known and recorded gotaways in December, meaning they were able to evade getting captured by law and immigration officials. law enforcement officers told The Center Square that despite the skyrocket high numbers, “these seizures and apprehensions represent a fraction of the amount of people and drugs being trafficked to the southern border between ports of entry.”
