A Border Patrol agent on the northern U.S. border was assaulted on August 20 by three illegal immigrants from Mexico, a criminal complaint alleges.
The alleged assault occurred near Churubusco, New York, in the Swanton Sector, an area that’s experienced <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-immigrant-encounters-spike-at-northern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surges in illegal crossings</a>, after a Border Patrol Agent stopped a vehicle.
The driver and front passenger told the agent they were American citizens before explaining that three passengers in the back of the vehicle did not speak English and were described as wearing muddy clothing, the criminal <a href="https://cdn01.dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Nunez-Nunez-et-al_1325-and-Assault-111_Signed-Complaint.pdf">complaint</a> states.
“That’s my boyfriend and his family,&#8221; the driver allegedly said. &#8220;I came to pick them up from Vermont.”
The complaint says the three backseat passengers told the Border Patrol agent that they were in the country unlawfully.
The agent placed two of the three illegal immigrants in the back of his vehicle. When he was on his way to apprehend the third, the other two allegedly leaped out of the Border Patrol vehicle and the three proceeded to attack the agent, knocking him to the ground, hitting him in the head and body, and fleeing the scene.
Two of the three individuals were found immediately after the incident, while the third was later captured about five miles from the scene.
<a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/assaults-use-force" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Federal data</a> reveals that there were 521 recorded assault incidents against Customs and Border Protection officials in fiscal year 2022, as well as 386 in the first ten months of fiscal year 2023.
The alleged assault comes as illegal immigrant encounters near America’s northern border continue to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-immigrant-encounters-spike-at-northern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increase</a>, with data revealing a 36% rise from June to July. Though there were only 916 recorded encounters at the northern border in fiscal year 2021, the numbers jumped to 2,238 in fiscal year 2022. The figure surged again from October 2022 to July 2023, with 7,633 recorded illegal immigrant encounters.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) said during the first Republican Party presidential primary debate on Wednesday night that the U.S. can secure the southern border by getting rid of the 87,000 IRS employees funded by the Biden administration and hiring border agents instead.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s fire the 87,000 IRS agents and hire, or double, the number of Border Patrol agents,&#8221; the presidential candidate said. &#8220;I just left Yuma, Arizona, about two weeks ago. The most pressing need of the American people, from a national security standpoint, is our southern border. It has led to the death of 70,000 Americans because of fentanyl.&#8221;
&#8220;Plus, six million illegal crossings since President Biden has taken office, and 200 people on our national security watchlists have been caught at our border,&#8221; he added. &#8220;How many have not been caught at our southern border? If we just spent $10 billion we could finish the wall. For $5 billion more, we could have military-grade technology to surveil our southern border to stop the flow of fentanyl, and save 70,000 Americans a year.&#8221;
The 57-year-old said that would be his top priority and he would finish the border wall.

After the debate, Scott spoke with Fox News host Sean Hannity about his performance and slammed some of the arguing that took place on the stage during the debate.
&#8220;I felt like I wanted to have a conversation, an adult conversation, about why America can do for anyone what she&#8217;s done for me,&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;We didn&#8217;t spend enough time talking about the challenges we have at our southern border. We didn&#8217;t talk long enough about the challenges that we have with China. It&#8217;s not the strength of China, it&#8217;s the weakness of Biden, that&#8217;s the problem that we face as a nation.&#8221;
&#8220;We need to dig into some of the most important, consequential issues facing the American people, and not have a food fight on the stage,&#8221; he added.

U.S. Border Patrol officials <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/08/21/arizona-borders-open-floodgates-allow-thousands-into-us/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=nypost" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> opened more than 100 floodgates in the southern border wall due to the annual monsoon season in Arizona, but the move allowed more illegal immigrants to flow freely into the U.S.
The federal law enforcement agency took responsibility for the open border wall doors in a <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/08/22/border-patrol-admits-its-responsible-for-open-floodgates-in-arizona-border-wall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> to the New York Post after the outlet published exclusive images showing busloads of migrants causally walking through the floodgates. They were reportedly first opened nearly two months ago.
&#8220;USBP makes the final decision on opening gates based on operational conditions and forecasted weather,&#8221; the agency said.
Border Patrol sources told the outlet that various federal agencies, including the National Park Service, ordered the agency to open 114 floodgates along the Arizona border to allow the monsoon waters to flow easily while endangered antelope species migrate in the region. However, some federal agents said the gates should have remained closed to reduce illegal immigrant crossings.
&#8220;We tried to shut the gates, but the order came down that we had to leave them open,&#8221; one of the sources reportedly said. &#8220;You wouldn&#8217;t leave the front door of your house open in a bad neighborhood.&#8221;
Border agents shut the floodgates at the border wall but open them during monsoon seasons to maintain the structure&#8217;s condition. The department reportedly claimed the high water flow mixed with excess sediment and debris buildup could compromise its integrity.
However, the open pathway allowed approximately 1,400 migrants from China, Egypt, and other parts of the world to enter the U.S. daily over the last nearly two months.
Roughly 42,000 migrants crossed the U.S. last month through the point of entry in Tuscon, Arizona, showing a massive increase of 27,294 migrants crossing in June, according to recent data reported by Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
&#8220;We haven&#8217;t seen this many migrants since about 2008,&#8221; Adam Isacson, director for defense oversight at the advocacy group Washington Office on Latin America, told The Post. &#8220;With the end of Title 42, in a way that nobody oversaw, it seems to come back to Tucson.&#8221;
After the Biden administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-blocks-biden-administration-border-policy-limiting-access-to-illegal-immigrants-seeking-asylum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ended</a> Title 42, a Trump-era public health order that allowed for the immediate expulsion of illegal immigrants due to the pandemic, border agents recorded another nearly 145,000 migrant encounters in June — a sharp decrease from about 208,000 in June 2022.

Large groups of migrants willingly surrender themselves to Border Patrol agents to claim asylum, Isacson said.
&#8220;Tucson has also traditionally been where smugglers concentrate Mexicans and Central Americans who don&#8217;t want to be detected,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Now they&#8217;re seeing 100 people at a time who are not running away.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s really becoming an epicenter,&#8221; he added. &#8220;This is big.&#8221;
Brandon Judd, the president a union representing Border Patrol agents, told The Post that authorities should never open the gates, claiming top USBP officials endangered agents&#8217; lives after clearing the path for illegal immigrants to cross.
Judd previously said that open gates at the southern border signal the cartels are &#8220;exploiting&#8221; the agency.
In this case, however, the union official said the situation &#8220;exploded almost immediately, which shows you how adept the criminal cartels are at exploiting any weakness at any time that we show them.&#8221;
&#8220;Those gates should never open up. What would be the reason for it? Why would you do it?&#8221;

Illegal immigrant encounters on the United States’ northern border spiked approximately 36% in July, recently released federal data reveals.
<a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/nationwide-encounters">According</a> to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a total of 1,154 encounters near the northern border were recorded for July, up from 848 in June. The majority of those come from countries in Latin America.
While there were just 916 recorded encounters at the northern border in fiscal year 2021, the numbers have since increased to 2,238 in fiscal year 2022. There have since been 7,633 encounters between October 2022 and July 2023.
Border Patrol agents in the Swanton Border Patrol Sector, which spans New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York, have become “overwhelmed with the amount of work that they have to do,” Sean Walsh, president of the National Border Patrol Council for the Swanton Sector, said in a <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2023/08/18/illegal-migrant-encounters-surge-roughly-36-at-northern-border/">statement</a>. “The priority is the southern border so the majority of the resources are diverted.”
The ongoing surge has compelled New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu to <a href="https://www.thecentersquare.com/new_hampshire/article_c3455b4e-3de3-11ee-b5c7-23cdb08885b5.html">call for the</a> creation of a congressional delegation tasked with securing the Swanton Sector.

There were 415,000 total reported gotaways in 2018, 2019, and 2020 during the Trump administration.
Meanwhile, there’s been a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/border-patrol-records-1000-increase-in-illegal-immigration-from-china-afghanistan">1,000% increase</a> in illegal immigration from several countries, including China, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and the Dominican Republic.
Major cities like Chicago and New York have struggled to manage the massive influx of foreign nationals. Chicago passed a measure to provide <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chicago-city-council-approves-51-million-to-fund-illegal-immigrant-housing">$51 million</a> in funding to house and feed migrants, while <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/50-new-york-city-places-of-worship-will-house-foreign-nationals">50 places of worship</a> in New York City are now being used to accommodate foreign nationals.

Illegal Immigrant Encounters Spike At Northern Border

Illegal Chinese <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marijuana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marijuana</a> grow operations are cropping throughout rural <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/maine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maine</a>, according to a leaked memo from Border Patrol. 
Federal officials believe that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">China</a> is profiting off the illegal operations, which are located throughout the U.S., especially in rural areas, according to <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2023/08/16/exclusive-illegal-chinese-marijuana-grow-operations-taking-over-blue-state-leaked-memo-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a report</a> from the Daily Caller News Foundation. The July memo obtained by the DCNF showed that Border Patrol has identified “270 properties within the state that are actively used by the Chinese” in relation to their illegal marijuana operations. 
According to the memo, a single property could make more than $16 million in profit each year, which “likely” is “used for other criminal activities or are sent to China.” The total profits could be more than $4 billion. 
A federal law enforcement source told the DCNF that those running the illegal operations are typically Chinese nationals who are difficult to deport due to asylum claims or are residents. 
“Based on location of the properties, it is assessed that I-95 is the main transport route for bulk cash, illegal narcotics, illegal aliens as this is the most desirable route throughout the state of Maine. I-95 begins in Miami, Florida, and ends near New Brunswick. This route enables smugglers through the many connecting routes which may allow access to many adjoining states,” the memo said. 
The problem is not limited to Maine and appears to have been going on for years. A 2017 <a href="https://www.pressherald.com/2017/10/24/officials-probe-chinese-influence-in-illegal-pot-operations/">report</a> from the Portland Press Herald noted that Chinese nationals running illegal marijuana grows had been arrested in states like California and Colorado. Some arrested were illegally in the U.S., but others came on B-1 or B-2 visas. 
“There’s no deterrence,” Derek Maltz, the head of the DEA’s Special Operations Division from 2005-2014, told the DCNF. “Criminals are masters at taking advantage of the vulnerabilities.”
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
Maltz says that the Chinese nationals will frequently work with Mexican drug cartels.
“They take the cash from the cartels in America, and they buy these properties and they do these investments with cash from the Mexican cartels in our own country. This is part of their laundering scheme,” he said. 
The recreational sale of marijuana has been legal in Maine since 2020, which followed the legalization of the drug by the voters in 2016.
It is also <a href="https://www.capito.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Fentanyl%20Sanctions%20Act%20One%20Page%20Summary.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">estimated</a> that China is the origin of up to 90% of the illicit fentanyl found in the U.S.

A report about suspected <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cartels" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cartel</a> gunmen illegally crossing into the United States and eluding capture over the weekend sparked a fresh wave of condemnation against the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden administration</a> for its <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handling of the southern border</a>.
Bill Melugin, a national correspondent for Fox News, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/images-show-men-armed-rifles-body-armor-coming-southern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">broke the news</a> on Tuesday in a post to X showing grainy, black-and-white images of men holding rifles running through a thicket.
&#8220;Per law enforcement source, a group of suspected cartel gunmen armed with rifles &amp; body armor were seen on cameras crossing illegally into the Fronton, [Texas] area in the [Rio Grande Valley] Saturday night.

The post quickly went viral, eliciting comments from Republican lawmakers and others who criticized the Biden administration for not doing more to secure the border.
&#8220;Joe Biden has empowered these vicious, deadly cartels giving them free rein over our border,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1688916452479561729" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). &#8220;Our communities are forced to suffer the dangerous consequences of his refusal to follow the law.&#8221;
Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-OK) said the report underscored why the GOP-led House <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/house-vote-republican-border-security-bill-title-42-lifts-rcna83903" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/2/actions">H.R. 2</a>, which she called the &#8220;most comprehensive border security bill since 1996.&#8221; The congresswoman added, &#8220;Under this administration, American communities feel like border communities. It is past time for the Senate to act to secure our border.&#8221;
&#8220;Biden&#8217;s open border endangers the life of every single American. How many more cartel members are slipping through undetected? Let&#8217;s call it what it is: National. Security. Crisis,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/SenatorBraun/status/1688919703417458688" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN).
Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-AL) <a href="https://twitter.com/SenKatieBritt/status/1688929959195066368" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> daily encounters at the border averaged nearly 7,300 during the first week of August. &#8220;This crisis is a clear national security risk, and every day the Biden Administration refuses to reverse course puts more hardworking American families and communities in grave danger,&#8221; she added.
The National Border Patrol Council, the <a href="https://bpunion.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">union</a> representing Border Patrol agents, specifically chastised President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. &#8220;Here is what Biden, Harris, Mayorkas and their [mainstream media] don&#8217;t want you to see. It&#8217;s called &#8216;reality,'&#8221; the union <a href="https://twitter.com/BPUnion/status/1688920521365405697" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> to X.
The Daily Wire reached out to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency that houses the U.S. Border Patrol, seeking comment on the report.

Mayorkas defended the administration&#8217;s efforts to secure the border when he <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?529480-1/homeland-security-oversight-hearing-secretary-mayorkas-part-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared before a House committee</a> in July.
&#8220;Our approach to managing the borders securely and humanely — even within our fundamentally broken immigration system — is working,&#8221; Mayorkas testified.

In December, Border Patrol arrested three sex offender migrants who have abused children and reentered the country after being deported. One <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/local-media-release/del-rio-sector-agents-arrest-three-child-sex-offenders-during" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had been convicted</a> of aggravated sexual assault of a child in Houston in March of last year. Another had been convicted of indecency with a child involving sexual contact and was deported in 2020. The third migrant had been convicted of indecent liberties with a child in North Carolina in 2007 and was deported in 2009.

Amid record high migrant encounters under the Biden administration, sex offender encounters by border authorities have spiked.
In fiscal year 2019, 58 sex offenders <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/crime/sex-offender-arrests-at-border-rise-under-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">were</a> arrested. That number <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/terror-watchlist-sex-offender-arrests-surged-southern-border-americans-worried" target="_blank" rel="noopener">jumped</a> to 156 in 2020 and 488 in 2021.
One Republican congressman from Texas sounded off on the issue in December.
“Border Patrol agents … are doing everything they can to find those sex offenders and those rapists and those murderers and those violent criminals, but they&#8217;re being relegated to administrative duties inside some processing center, and they’re not able to actually get out there — not to mention the overwhelming numbers. So it&#8217;s just incomprehensible to think this is going on and there&#8217;s nothing being done,&#8221; Representative August Pfluger (R-TX) <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/crime/sex-offender-arrests-at-border-rise-under-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Washington Examiner.
A record 2.4 million illegal migrants were encountered by border authorities in fiscal year 2022, <a href="https://www.azmirror.com/2022/10/25/southern-border-apprehensions-hit-a-record-2-4-million-in-fiscal-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Customs and Border Protection.
The Biden administration <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/immigration-parole-migrants-us-expansion-biden/#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has allowed</a> at least 541,000 migrants into the country through the parole authority, which allows the federal government to let in migrants without visas.
Critics also point out the number of gotaways, or migrants who entered the country illegally, but were not apprehended. There were nearly 600,000 migrant gotaways in 2022, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/border-officials-count-599000-gotaway-migrants-fiscal-year-2022-source" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to one report.
Exacerbating the issue is the end of Title 42, a COVID emergency rule that allowed authorities to deport migrants quickly back to Mexico. Title 42 expired on May 11 after several previous attempts by the Biden administration to end it.
Frustrated border states have shipped some of the migrants flooding their border towns to northern states, particularly Democrat-run cities like New York City, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.
In New York, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/19/nyregion/migrants-shelter-nyc-adams.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than</a> 90,000 migrants have arrived in the city since April of last year. As of this month, about 55,000 are still being housed on the city’s dime, causing New York’s homeless shelters to burst at the seams and Mayor Eric Adams to complain about the burden on the city.

The Deadline For Second Phase Of Immigrant Family Reunifications Looms On Texas Border Towns

Border Patrol Stops Four Illegal Migrant Sex Offenders From Entering U.S. In One Day

Immigrants

U.S.

Smugglers were caught using a fake <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-customs-and-border-protection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. Customs and Border Protection</a> (CBP) truck to try to sneak migrants over the U.S. border in California on Saturday.
The truck, which was tricked out in Border Patrol decal stickers and fake Department of Homeland Security license plates to resemble a real CBP truck, was initially spotted by Mexican immigration officials.
Mexican authorities said they found the truck on July 22 in Mexico close to the California border with 17 migrants huddled inside.
The smugglers likely told the migrants something like, “Hop on, we already have an agreement. This is a US Border Patrol vehicle. With this, they won’t ask you anything before you cross the border,” <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/25/smugglers-caught-using-fake-border-patrol-truck-to-sneak-migrants-over-border/">said</a> David Pérez Tejada, delegate for the Mexican government&#8217;s National Migration Institute.
The truck was confiscated by U.S. authorities after it was found.
The smugglers were arrested at the border, and the migrants were transferred to Tijuana police headquarters.
A similar incident happened in 2021.
A fake CBP vehicle transporting 10 migrants was spotted and apprehended by Homeland Security and Border Patrol agents near the Tucson border. In that case, the driver of the fake Border Patrol car and the 10 migrants were taken into custody.

It&#8217;s not just government vehicles that smugglers try to clone either.
Last month, CBP <a href="https://www.cbs42.com/border-report-tour/cloned-fedex-vans-used-to-smuggle-migrants-cbp-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> smugglers used fake FedEx vans to try to smuggle migrants into El Paso.
Last year in June, 53 migrants died in an 18-wheeler that was <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/06/29/human-traffickers-at-border-are-experts-at-disguising-vehicles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decked out</a> to look like a legally registered truck. The truck made it past a Texas border checkpoint and arrived in San Antonio, where it started having mechanical problems and was abandoned by its driver.
Meanwhile, border authorities warn that it is extremely dangerous for migrants to depend on smugglers to help them make the trek up through Central America and over the U.S. border illegally.
Migrant deaths have soared this summer from dangerous conditions and scorching temperatures.
Border Patrol agents <a href="https://www.borderreport.com/regions/new-mexico/smugglers-telling-migrants-to-run-in-triple-digit-heat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">encountered</a> 96 dead migrants in the El Paso area this fiscal year, the agency said, more than three times the 29 bodies agents found in fiscal year 2022.
“We are currently recording a significant number of migrant deaths in New Mexico due to the desert terrain and extreme heat. Migrants do not have sufficient water and there is minimal shade,” Border Patrol <a href="https://www.borderreport.com/regions/new-mexico/smugglers-telling-migrants-to-run-in-triple-digit-heat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement to Border Report.
“We are seeing a lot of people crossing during the hottest part of the day, which is something we normally had not seen before. That ends up being a very dangerous thing,” Andy Buckert, a watch commander at the Santa Teresa Border Patrol Station, told the outlet.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has allowed hundreds of thousands of new illegal migrants into the country.
Overall, during the last two years, the administration <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/immigration-parole-migrants-us-expansion-biden/#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has allowed</a> at least 541,000 migrants into the country through the parole authority, which allows the federal government to let in migrants without visas.

Title 42 expired on May 11 after several previous attempts by the Biden administration to end it.

Crisis Migration In Mexico

Smugglers Caught Using Fake Border Patrol Truck To Sneak In Migrants

Border Patrol reported a spike in illegal aliens on the terror watch list attempting to cross the southern border into the United States in fiscal year 2023.
<a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/cbp-enforcement-statistics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Data</a> from United States Customs and Border Protection reveals that Border Patrol has encountered 143 illegal aliens on the terror watch list in fiscal year 2023. The figure marks a significant jump from the 98 encounters that Border Patrol had in fiscal year 2022.
But both 2022 and 2023 have marked dramatic increases from previous years, with only six encounters with those on the terror watchlist being reported by Border Patrol in fiscal year 2021 and three being encountered in fiscal years 2019 and 2020.
One illegal alien on the terror watch list was recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-immigrant-on-terror-watchlist-released-into-u-s-by-dhs-watchdog-finds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released into the interior of the U.S.</a> It took two weeks to find and arrest the illegal immigrant, who the Tampa Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office noted could “pose a national security risk.”
Meanwhile, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/border-patrol-records-1000-increase-in-illegal-immigration-from-china-afghanistan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent report</a> from Border Patrol revealed that there’s been a 1,000% increase in illegal immigration into the United States from various different foreign countries, including China, Afghanistan, Algeria, Vietnam, Ethiopia, and others.
The sharp increase comes as illegal immigration has accelerated more broadly under the Biden administration, with an estimated <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/15/1-5m-gotaways-have-slipped-into-the-us-under-biden-three-times-as-many-as-during-3-years-of-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1.5 million gotaways</a> reported since Biden took office in 2021. The figure dwarfs the total 415,000 estimated gotaways under the Trump administration in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
American citizens living on the Texas-Mexico border told The Daily Wire that illegal immigrants have crossed their properties at alarming rates since the Biden administration, with some even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/weve-been-abandoned-border-ranchers-recount-chaos-on-southern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surrounding the homes</a> of ranchers or trying to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mommy-theres-bad-guys-at-my-window-border-patrol-wife-describes-dangers-chaos-on-southern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lure young girls</a> out of their home late at night.
Estimates have found that illegal immigration costs American taxpayers approximately <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taxpayers-shell-out-151-billion-each-year-due-to-illegal-immigration-analysis-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$151 billion</a> every year, with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-immigration-costs-hospitals-billions-in-unpaid-bills-house-gop-report-finds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">significant strain</a> being placed on the healthcare system, especially in Texas, Florida, and Arizona.

Border Patrol Reports Surge In Illegal Aliens On Terror Watch List

Terrorism

U.S. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-patrol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Border Patrol</a> agents allegedly cut through razor wire placed by Texas law enforcement officials on the southern to let illegal aliens enter the country, according to new video.
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin shared a video on Twitter of the incident, which he said occured on private property, according to officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
&#8220;Video from source in Eagle Pass shows Border Patrol cutting through razor wire placed by the state of TX to allow migrants to enter &amp; be processed after crossing illegally,&#8221; Melugin said. &#8220;[The Texas Department of Public Safety] tells me this is the first time they know of this happening, and that it’s being looked into for potential destruction of TX property.&#8221;
&#8220;The federal government’s position is that once migrants are on U.S. soil, under U.S. law, they need to be processed, and cannot be repelled or turned away,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Texas is taking a much different approach, and has been physically blocking migrants under orders from Governor @GregAbbott_TX . TXDPS tells me the location this video was shot at is private property, and that they have permission from the owner to lay down razor wire and arrest migrants for criminal trespassing.&#8221;
Melugin noted that the Border Patrol agent in the video is &#8220;likely just doing what he’s been told &#8211; but this will likely lead to more friction between TX &amp; the Feds, who have drastically different approaches at the border.&#8221;

Biden’s Feds Cut Through Razor Wire Placed By Texas Authorities To Let Illegals Into U.S.

Biden's Feds Cut Through Razor Wire Placed By Texas Authorities To Let Illegals Into U.S.

Biden Administration

Wyatt Watson’s stories might be unbelievable if it weren’t for the bullet mark on his windshield. The Texas native’s conscience just wouldn’t let him have a relaxing retirement.
Instead of donning a Hawaiian shirt and flip-flops at a coastal resort, the 66-year-old opted for a bulletproof vest and a pair boots, much more appropriate attire for his nightly patrols on the banks of the Rio Grande, where he intercepts and repels illegal immigrants.
“My time is running out,” Watson admitted to The Daily Wire. “I’m 66 years old … my window’s closing fast.” He added, “I want to feel like my life mattered.” 
He’s not a member of the Border Patrol, but that doesn’t stop him and <a href="https://www.texasborderbees.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">up to 50 volunteers</a> from patrolling the border. He and those who volunteer alongside him have worked in conjunction with authorities, taking time to learn from their strategies. Watson noted that members of law enforcement have repeatedly thanked them for their work.
Their operation has largely been successful. Watson told The Daily Wire that he and his volunteers have turned back roughly 5,000 illegal immigrants and detained 598, who were handed over to Border Patrol. 
But defending the southern border is an easy way to make dangerous enemies, especially when it gets in the way of the cartels’ preferred ways of making money — smuggling drugs and people. 
“I guess I pissed someone off,” Watson quipped as he leaned up against his truck, the windshield of which was scarred by what appeared to be a bullet mark. He explained that his truck windshield was struck by a bullet in April as he was driving down the highway. A member of law enforcement confirmed that the mark marring his windshield was left by a bullet, telling Watson that it was likely a pistol caliber, potentially a 9mm.
But Watson got lucky. The round hit the thickest part of the windshield and ricocheted off. A few inches higher and the incident might’ve been fatal. 
Not long after, while on a piece of property used by Watson’s group, a dog was “assassinated.” Just minutes before, the dog was playing with its owners. It was found tied to the front porch with a gunshot wound in the head. Watson says it was “meant to send a message,” as if the shot that ricocheted off his windshield hadn’t already.
It all led to a greater sense of gravity around the crisis. The struggle for control of the border isn’t just a matter of policy and punditry for Watson, but a matter of life and death.
Nonetheless, he continues to patrol the border, and with great effect. “We had 185 [people] try [to] come through here one night,” Watson told The Daily Wire as he walked along the fencing that Governor Greg Abbott had built, mere feet away from the river bank.
Evidence of illegal border crossings littered dense patches of tall carrizo cane, a fast-growing, invasive plant that lines much of the Rio Grande. It didn’t take long before Watson pointed out wet clothes, backpacks, and still-shiny pesos scattered in the brush.
Illegal immigrants often wade across the river with backpacks full of dry clothes. Once they make it to shore, they change into dry clothes, stuff their wet clothes into their backpacks, and hide them in hopes that authorities don’t notice the debris.
While Watson and the volunteers have greatly diminished the amount of successful border crossings in the area, their task has been made more difficult by the ubiquity of the cartels. “There’s cartel presence everywhere. There’s people who are paid by the cartel, there are landowners who are paid to let people across their property,” Watson explained. “But what they got to understand is, they’re not crossing this river anymore.”
As Watson walked along the fenceline back towards the property, a piece of brass shimmered in the Texas sun. An unspent .22 pistol round lay in the dirt at our feet. “Well &#8230; it ain’t one of ours,” Watson warned, holding up the cartridge in his hand. He and his men don’t carry .22, but the cartel does. “Once you start seeing .22, you get nervous.” Watson explained that the small, quiet round is one of the cartel’s preferred methods of assassination.
Little moments like this, paired with those more frightening run-ins, remind Watson just how dangerous — and vital — of a task he has undertaken.
“Honestly, I’ve asked God to release me from this several times,” Watson confessed. But that doesn’t mean that he regrets his choice to patrol the border — quite the opposite.
Though the dangers have only become more pronounced since he started, Watson made it clear that he knew what he was getting into. “I made up my mind the first day I came out here that I might not come back from here,” Watson admitted with solemn resolve.
Watson’s stories of sacrifice and daring were underscored by the sense of a second tragedy that he, as well as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/weve-been-abandoned-border-ranchers-recount-chaos-on-southern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">others</a> living <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mommy-theres-bad-guys-at-my-window-border-patrol-wife-describes-dangers-chaos-on-southern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on the border,</a> had alluded to: the human smuggling could be halted, the drug peddling could be stopped, and America — not the cartels — could control its own border, if only the most powerful members of our political system so desired. But in the meantime, it is up to bold, uncompromising men of action, Wyatt Watson chief among them.

A nurse looking after an 8-year-old immigrant girl who died in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-patrol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Border Patrol</a> custody last month denied multiple requests to take the girl to a hospital.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-customs-and-border-protection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. Customs and Border Protection</a> (CBP) released a <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/speeches-and-statements/update-death-custody-8-year-old-harlingen-texas-0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> Thursday on some preliminary findings in its investigation into the death of Anadith Tanay Reyes Alvarez of Panama. Reyes Alvarez died last month after days of serious illness, a fever of nearly 105 degrees, and appearing to suffer a seizure, according to CBP.
The investigation is still ongoing, and the facts revealed in the initial report are subject to change, the agency noted.
Border Patrol kept Reyes Alvarez and her family in custody for about a week until the 8-year-old’s death on May 17. During that time, Reyes Alvarez was overseen by contracted medical workers who administered a number of treatments to the ailing child, but did not send her to a hospital until her last day when she appeared to have a seizure and became unresponsive.
Reyes Alvarez “suffered from sickle cell anemia” and “had a history of congenital heart disease.” The medical workers who oversaw her were not aware and were never made aware of her conditions, according to CBP.
On multiple occasions, Reyes Alvarez’s mother requested the child be taken to a hospital for treatment.
“During the day on May 17, the girl was seen by a nurse practitioner on four occasions after complaining of a stomachache, nausea, and difficulty breathing. The contracted nurse practitioner reported checking the girl’s heart rate and blood oxygen saturation with a pulse oximeter during each visit with normal findings, and administering Ondansetron (Zofran) for nausea at 9:33 a.m.,” CBP reported about events on the day of the child’s death.
“The nurse practitioner also reported denying three or four requests from the girl’s mother for an ambulance to be called or for her to be taken to the hospital,” the report added. “Another contracted medical employee reported having brought a pile of documents and a bottle of folic acid tablets from the family’s property to the nurse practitioner at approximately 10:30 a.m. The nurse practitioner declined to review the papers but did agree to the mother’s request to administer one folic acid tablet to her daughter.”

Reyes Alvarez died a week after the U.S. southern border experienced historic numbers of people coming across ahead of the official end of Title 42 on May 11. The number of immigrants <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mayorkas-says-border-patrol-encounters-down-by-half-since-title-42-expired" target="_blank" rel="noopener">entering</a> the U.S. illegally in the week before Title 42’s end exceeded well over 10,000 on multiple days. The flood packed federal facilities and border communities attempting to care for the migrants.
