Alarming Number Of Russian Illegals Caught Trying To Enter US
Thank God for Border Patrol because the Biden administration was certainly no help in busting thousands of Russians trying to cross into the US illegally. This was a record-breaking year for immigration but perhaps more frightening about the Biden border crisis is who is trying to cross as tensions between the US and her enemies grow.
American Military News reported that about 4,100 Russian nationals were stopped at the U.S. southern border in the 2021 fiscal year, up from fewer than 500 the year before in the 2020 fiscal year.
Those 4,100 Russian nationals were among 1.7 million people that U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents encountered at the border this past year, according to CBP data released last month and first reported by the Washington Examiner.
The Biden administration recently restarted the “Remain in Mexico” policy, brought about under President Donald Trump, after being ordered to reinstate the policy by a federal judge. The Biden administration had previously fought to do away with the Trump-era policy, which required migrants apprehended at the U.S. southern border to remain in Mexico until U.S. immigration courts can review their cases.
Recently in a Facebook post, U.S. Border Patrol Yuma Sector reported numerous large groups trying to enter during Thanksgiving weekend in late November. The groups included 69, 52, and 67 people on Thanksgiving; 63, 54, 117, and 72 people on Nov. 26; 140 and 65 people on Nov. 27; and 51, 80, 82, 58, and 58 people on Nov. 28, the post said.
Arriving migrants were found to be from nearly 30 countries: Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Georgia, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, India, Lebanon, Mexico, Nepal, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Spain, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Venezuela.
Deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov has said Russia and the US may be hurtling towards a repeat of the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. And Putin said that the situation in eastern Ukraine “looked like genocide” in a recent meeting, raising fears he could seek a pretext to send his troops into the country.
