IMO, the assignment is far more important than many understand. If Kammy and Timmy get in say hello to Venezuela 2.0. It will be the wild wild west, but worse.

Been a while since we've visited the border, but don't take that as a sign that all is well down south. It's just due to the fact that so much more is going on around the world and news media is not reporting on the issue as often.

According to Newsmax, there have been 13,099 illegal immigrants who have been convicted of murder, 662,566 illegal immigrants who are on the criminal docket (435,719 have been convicted of crimes) who have been released into the United States by ICE. And these numbers do not include "gotaways" . Newsmax screen shot:

According to Newsmax, ICE has spent $640,000,000 during FY 2024 and $1,400,000,000 since 2022 on illegal immigrants, yet:

Epoch Times Earlier this week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott wrote that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the Department of Homeland Security, and FEMA should “immediately stop spending money on illegal immigration resettlement and redirect those funds to areas hit by the hurricane” and “put Americans first.”

He was responding to Mayorkas’s comments to reporters that FEMA, overseen by his agency, “does not have the funds” to make it until the end of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which is Nov. 30.

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mayorkas told a press gaggle on Air Force One. “We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season and ... what is imminent.”

FACTSHEET: Final FY23 Numbers Show Worst Year at America’s Borders—Ever

Key Facts:

• Encounters at the Southwest border (SWB) in FY2023 increased over 40% since FY2021, 4% compared to FY2022, and more than 100% compared to FY2019.
• Last month, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported a 40% increase compared to September 2021 and 18% compared to September 2022.
• Since President Biden took office, there have been 7.5 million encounters nationwide and 6.2 million encounters at the Southwest border, in addition to 1.7 million known gotaways.
• In FY2023, 169 individuals whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist were stopped trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border between ports of entry. 18 were apprehended in September alone.
• So far in FY2023, CBP has arrested 35,433 aliens with criminal convictions or outstanding warrants nationwide, including 598 known gang members, 178 of those being MS-13 members.
• In FY2023, CBP, including Air and Marine Operations, has seized 27,293 pounds of fentanyl, coming across the Southwest border—enough to kill more than 6 billion people.

Yet the Biden/Harris regime reports that illegal crossings are dropping! Couldn't be due to the "legal, under Biden/Harris policy, 860,000 aliens allowed to enter by pre-registery on cell phone app or those FLOWN IN (@ taxpayer expense) from Cube, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, ya think?

Noticeable uptick in the number of special interest illegals crossing Rio Grande recently.

Meanwhile new caravan numbering in the thousands rushing north through Mexico in order to cross before the border closed if Trump is elected.
