Up to 40,000 migrants amass at border as end of Title 42 looms

Up to 40,000 migrants have amassed on the Mexican side of the border waiting to cross into the US and officials are worried about the chaos they could cause when Title 42 ends next month, law enforcement sources tell The Post.

Migrants in Juarez, Mexico, are getting tired of waiting or being duped by internet scams into thinking they will be given asylum in the US and hundreds a day are again crossing into El Paso and surrendering to border agents.

“We have intel that there’s between 10,000 and 40,000 people waiting to cross over,” a police official who did not want to be named told The Post of the swelling number of migrants amassed directly across the border.

“We know something is coming, and we’re always preparing for what if a couple thousand of those people waiting there just get antsy or they’re like, ‘Today is the day.'”

Over 750 migrants surrendered to Border Patrol agents in one massive group Wednesday afternoon, the US Border Patrol told The Post.

Additional migrant surrenders continued Thursday, with hundreds more people surrendering to border patrol — making the tasks of processing and ejecting them an enormous job for Border Patrol.

Migrant groups as large as 1,000 people have been turning themselves in to officials in Texas’ sixth largest city since late March, fueled by fake information spread on social media by drug cartels, who would prefer them to pay to be smuggled over the border.

“The cartels don’t make any money by migrants sitting around waiting for the CBP One appointment,” another source told The Post, explaining that the CBP One app is the legal way for migrants to claim asylum.

US border officials have also launched a social media campaign to set the record straight.

The Border Patrol has been flying migrants out of West Texas to other immigration facilities across the country.

“Large groups continue to turn themselves in at the border,” tweeted El Paso Border Patrol Chief Anthony Scott Good on Wednesday.

“We want to remind migrants that coming into the US between the ports of entry is illegal and those who do are subject to expulsion or removal.”

When hundreds of people cross over onto American soil at a time, the process of processing and then expelling them takes a few days, during which time they have to be housed and fed.

Background

Postings from Brisbane, Australia by John Ray (M.A.; Ph.D.) -- former member of the Australia-Soviet Friendship Society, former anarcho-capitalist and former member of the British Conservative party.

Why is "La Raza" the one Spanish term that is NEVER translated in the American mass media? Because translating it would make it a lot less respectable. It means "THE RACE" -- The mixed Hispanic "race" of Mexico. Racism is fine South of the Rio Grande only, apparently.

The "line" of this blog is that immigration should be SELECTIVE. That means that:

1). A national government should be in control of it. The U.S. and U.K. governments are not but the Australian government has shown that the government of a prosperous Western country can be. Up until its loss of office in 2007, the conservative Howard government had all but eliminated illegal immigration. The present Leftist government has however restarted the flow of illegals by repealing many of the Howard government regulations.

2). Selectivity should be based on "the content of a man's character, not on the color of his skin", as MLK said. To expand that a little: Immigrants should only be accepted if they as individuals seem likely to make a positive net contribution to the country. Many "refugees" would fail that test: Muslims and Africans particularly. Educational level should usually be a pretty fair proxy for the individual's likely value to the receiving country. There will, of course, be exceptions but it is nonetheless unlikely that a person who has not successfully completed High School will make a net positive contribution to a modern Western society.

3). Immigrants should be neither barred NOR ACCEPTED solely because they are of some particular ethnic origin. Blacks are vastly more likely to be criminal than are whites or Chinese, for instance, but some whites and some Chinese are criminal. It is the criminality that should matter, not the race.

4). The above ideas are not particularly blue-sky. They roughly describe the policies of the country where I live -- Australia. I am critical of Australian policy only insofar as the "refugee" category for admission is concerned. All governments have tended to admit as refugees many undesirables. It seems to me that more should be required of them before refugees are admitted -- for instance a higher level of education or a business background.

5). Perhaps the most amusing assertion in the immigration debate is that high-income countries like the USA and Britain NEED illegal immigrants to do low-paid menial work. "Who will pick our crops?" (etc.) is the cry. How odd it is then that Australians get all the normal services of a modern economy WITHOUT illegal immigrants! Yes: Before the pandemic, you usually COULD buy a lettuce in Australia for a dollar or thereabouts. And Australia IS a major exporter of primary products.

6). I am a libertarian conservative so I reject the "open door" policy favoured by many libertarians and many Leftists. Both those groups tend to have a love of simplistic generalizations that fail to deal with the complexity of the real world. It seems to me that if a person has the right to say whom he/she will have living with him/her in his/her own house, so a nation has the right to admit to living among them only those individuals whom they choose.
