Biden Administration: “Our Borders Are Not Open”

From the Department of Homeland Security:

DHS Outlines Strategy to Address Increase in Migrants in Del Rio

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is immediately implementing a new, comprehensive strategy to address the increase in migrant encounters in the Del Rio sector of South Texas.  It has six key components.

First, within the next 24-48 hours, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will have surged 400 agents and officers to the Del Rio sector to improve control of the area.  If additional staff is needed, more will be sent.

The Del Rio Port of Entry has temporarily closed, and traffic is being re-routed from Del Rio to Eagle Pass to more effectively manage resources and ensure uninterrupted flow of trade and travel.

Second, U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) is coordinating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Coast Guard to move individuals from Del Rio to other processing locations, including approximately 2,000 yesterday, in order to ensure that irregular migrants are swiftly taken into custody, processed, and removed from the United States consistent with our laws and policy.

Third, DHS will secure additional transportation to accelerate the pace and increase the capacity of removal flights to Haiti and other destinations in the hemisphere within the next 72 hours.

Fourth, the Administration is working with source and transit countries in the region to accept individuals who previously resided in those countries. 

Fifth, DHS is undertaking urgent humanitarian actions with other relevant federal, state, and local partners to reduce crowding and improve conditions for migrants on U.S. soil. 

DHS has already taken a number of steps to ensure the safety and security of individuals as they await processing, including having Border Patrol emergency medical technicians on hand and providing water, towels, and portable toilets.

Finally, the White House has directed appropriate U.S. agencies to work with the Haitian and other regional governments to provide assistance and support to returnees. 

The majority of migrants continue to be expelled under CDC’s Title 42 authority. 

Those who cannot be expelled under Title 42 and do not have a legal basis to remain will be placed in expedited removal proceedings. 

DHS is conducting regular expulsion and removal flights to Haiti, Mexico, Ecuador, and Northern Triangle countries.

Beyond the six steps outlined above, the Biden Administration has reiterated that our borders are not open, and people should not make the dangerous journey.  Individuals 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 migrants themselves, and should not be attempted.

  1. What you won’t hear from the FAKE NEWS MSM is that the Mexican side of the Del Rio border
    is controlled by the Mexican drug cartels, and therein lies our problem.

    Ammo up, CW2 is coming

  2. Following is an excerpt, in quotes, from an article written three years ago about the invasion of the U.S.

    https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/07/invaders_are_not_immigrants.html

    “July 10, 2018, Invaders Are Not Immigrants, By Shari Goodman”

    “The Democratic Party, along with its shills in the mainstream media, has misleadingly blurred the lines between the definition of “immigrant” and “invader.” An immigrant is an alien who has been granted the right to permanently reside in the United States by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. An “invader,” as defined by Merriam Webster, is one who “trespasses, encroaches, and infringes upon another’s property.” The United States is our collective home and those who come here without seeking and gaining permission to enter our collective home are no different than an uninvited guest who enters our personal home to take up residence without permission.”

    Hopefully, most law-abiding U.S. citizens are reasonable and rational persons who can differentiate the lawful, structured and fair Immigration system of the U.S. vs a reckless and permissive operation promoted and condoned by our present top U.S. Administration. The current president, Biden, has been on record over a long time in encouraging illegal immigrants and upon assuming office taking actions that allowed a flood of illegal immigrants/aliens into our Nation. Some news agencies have said that aliens are coming from about 100 nations and their backgrounds are not known. Amongst these aliens are probably gang members, drug dealers, terrorists and probably many with disease such as Covid

    The latest invasion of about 14,000 Haitians is the result of the incompetence and lawlessness of Biden and his regime. Some news accounts have said that less than 5 percent of these invaders have been vaccinated for the Covid.

    It is well past time for American citizens to demand that our US Military is deployed to our southern borders to humanely repel the invaders and then transport them back to their originating nation. Our US Military is supposed to exist to protect America and American citizens from invasions and invaders.

  3. POOR Gov Abbot and TEXAS god save you all…

    while mr. not my prez continues his incompetence on our country… IMPEACH .. out of office before its to late.

  4. What you’re not seeing in addition to this is that our taxpayer dollars are being used to fly these illegals in from South American countries.

    Where are they being flown to?

    Red states.

    Also, who knew Haitians had Jesus like powers to walk across a huge body of water and end up under a bridge in TX.

    Ask for link if you really want to know.
