In what is expected to be a major shift in U.S. border policy, the Biden administration is reportedly planning to end Title 42, a pandemic-era emergency rule permitting immigration authorities to quickly expel migrants without allowing them to apply for asylum.
The change is expected in late May and could result in a rapid surge in migrant arrivals, taxing the already overwhelmed Border Patrol. Fox News correspondent Hillary Vaughn reported that the administration is “bracing for as many as 500,000 migrants in the six weeks.” This would amount to nearly 12,000 illegal crossings per day.
The Biden admin is sending billions of your tax dollars to help Ukraine fight an invasion through their border… At the same time, they willingly allow and exacerbate an invasion at America's southern border just under the guise of "compassion."

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has said repeatedly that Democrats are using the wide-open border to alter voter demographics in America, and this would certainly explain the numbers we are now seeing.
The shocking news of a possible surge comes after Fox News reported earlier this week that nearly a million illegal immigrants have crossed into the U.S. in the past six months and that the YTD total is likely to exceed all records since the Border Patrol began keeping records.

In a series of tweets, Vaughn reported that Border Patrol officials say they lack the capacity to process a half-million illegal immigrants in one month and the end result will be a “revolving door,” which is not to suggest that a revolving door is not already in place.
CBP source telling me “If half a million people come in one month –that’s an emergency. There is no way we have enough federal agents and NGO’s and NGA’s. There’s not enough people going around. It’s literally going to be a revolving door. Getting people in – getting people out.”

There were nearly 2 million illegal immigrants encountered in 2021, and this does not include thousands more that managed to enter the country undetected. Very few detained migrants were returned.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin reported that CBP sources told him the “gotaways” exceeded 300,000 since Oct. 1, and the true number is even higher. The numbers boggle the mind and there’s no effort in sight to slow the tide.
BREAKING: Three high level CBP & Border Patrol sources tell me there have been over 300,000 recorded gotaways since October 1st, including more than 62,000 just in the month of March. That’s 2,000 per day.
I’m told the true number is even higher, these are only *known*. @FoxNews— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) April 1, 2022
The media largely ignores the humanitarian crisis on the southern border that comes with millions of migrants flooding the U.S. since President Biden was elected, opting not to report on the deaths and other human tragedies that accompany the massive flow of humanity.
Even more troubling, with a further surge anticipated, Vaughn reported that the administration is floating the idea of pulling medical personnel from Veterans Affairs to assist on the border.
“We’re going to take medical services away from people that really deserve that. Who went to combat…to give free medical attention to illegal migrants” a CBP source told the reporter.
🚨One idea being floated: pulling medical personnel from Veterans Affairs to assist “We’re going to take medical services away from people that really deserve that. Who went to combat…to give free medical attention to illegal migrants” CBP source tell me.

Vaughn’s sources say the administration is looking at doing NTA’s (notices to appear) with “minimal biometric data and vetting” to expedite processing, and deploying a smart app for migrants to use to submit to pre-screening, all of this being seen as an “easy way for folks to get in.”
This CBP source tells me that could mean skipping critical paperwork and vetting that would confirm they have the right name and date of birth for the person entering.

This source telling me the “CBP1 app was originally devised to make it easier for known travelers to enter and go across the border…it’s now being thought of to use as an easy way for folks to get in”

With 1.734 million illegal immigrant encounters in 2021, a Border Patrol source told Fox News to expect the number to “double” this year — which would be closing in on 4 million in 2022.
🚨CBP source tells me the Biden administration is preparing for double the number of migrants that came in 2021 – in the year after Title 42 lifts – “I would say its conservative to say double what came in last year”
