The Democrat Party is rotten through and through. And we’re starting to learn how deep that rot goes.
And now an incriminating report just raked the Biden administration over the coals.
The Biden administration has been quietly flying migrants from overwhelmed California to Texas, where Governor Greg Abbott’s strict border control measures have effectively reduced illegal crossings, The New York Post reveals.
For the past month, Border Patrol has been using costly charter flights on commercial-sized planes to transport border crossers from San Diego to Texas’ Rio Grande Valley.
These weekly flights, known for their high cost, are estimated at $80,000 each, according to sources.
Photographs show dozens of migrants shackled by the ankles boarding the planes, operated by a contractor, in San Diego.
Migrant holding facilities in San Diego are overrun, operating at 150% capacity, despite the Biden administration’s June announcement of a new “crackdown” to expedite the removal of asylum seekers without credible claims of fear, according to internal federal data obtained by The New York Post.
San Diego’s border facilities lack the capacity to manage the influx of migrants, exacerbated by loopholes in the Biden administration’s border policies that make it harder to deport certain individuals.
Unaccompanied children, people with medical issues, and migrants from countries that do not permit charter repatriation flights can stay in the U.S., according to Border Patrol documents previously reported by The New York Post.
Since the Biden administration’s asylum restrictions began on June 6, Border Patrol has released roughly 400 migrants into Texas’ Rio Grande Valley region, where the flights are landing, according to internal federal data.
In Texas, Abbott’s measures, such as increasing National Guard troops and setting up border barricades, have successfully limited migrant crossings.
For instance, after Texas troops secured Shelby Park in Eagle Pass this spring, crossings dropped dramatically from 2,000 to 3,000 a day to around five, according to Texas’ Department of Public Safety (DPS).
Meanwhile, in April, San Diego became the top area for illegal crossings for the first time in 20 years, with 37,370 encounters, according to NewsNation.
A CBP official told The New York Post that some new migrants at the southern border, eligible for exceptions to removal, will still be given future court dates and released into the U.S. if holding facilities are full.
“There might be some that we can’t return to Mexico, it’s going to take longer to return to their country of origin because we might not have agreements with them,” the official said.
“But the number of releases since the Presidential Proclamation and the interim final rule has gone into place have plummeted,” the official added.
Migrants crossing into San Diego come from “all over the world,” a border patrol agent in the region recently told The New York Post.
“China, India — there’s a lot of Indians, there’s just like a s–t ton — and Central Americans,” the agent said.
In June, over 30,000 migrants were released into the country, according to internal data obtained by The New York Post.
From May to June, Border Patrol migrant encounters at the southern border dropped from 117,901 to 83,536, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data.
CBP did not respond to The New York Post’s request for comment.
