CNN: Agency Data Predicts 2 Million Border Migrants in 2021



by NEIL MUNRO 31 Mar 2021

Government officials now predict that President Joe Biden’s deputies expect two million foreigners will cross the southern U.S. border by September, according to a CNN report.

The network reported March 31:

Data reviewed by CNN shows that up to 1.1 million single adults are expected through September, along with up to around 828,000 families and more than 200,000 unaccompanied children. Border Patrol encounters are expected to continue to rise month-by-month, according to the projections, which can vary.

The last time Border Patrol apprehensions surpassed 1 million was in fiscal year 2006, according to publicly available data from Customs and Border Protection. Border Patrol arrests also climbed during the 2019 border crisis, but fell short of 900,000.

The arrivals of families and younger migrants are carefully tracked. Biden’s officials are giving them temporary legal status, such as asylum seekers or parole, even though most are economic migrants seeking jobs and better lives in Americans’ homeland.

But the CNN report did not detail how the single adults are counted. Many adults are caught and pushed back into Mexico, where they again try to sneak across the border. Border agents estimate the number of “got-aways” who are allowed by federal policy to slip through the border into Americans’ jobs. This means that many adult migrants are double-counted, and many others are counted as unapprehended “got-aways.”

The huge tide of two million migrants would deliver more than one illegal migrant for every two new Americans likely to be born in 2021.

Moreover, the government will likely allow an additional one million legal immigrants, including about 600,000 work-ready immigrants.

Biden’s deputies — including border agency chief Alejandro Mayorkas — removed most of President Donald Trump’s laws that protect Americans’ right to their own labor market, to decent jobs, and to decent wages.

So far, Mayorkas and his deputies argue that Trump’s policies were too “cruel” to migrants to allow the rules that protected Americans from the backdoor migration.

“They actually want large numbers of illegal aliens to come into the country,” Ken Cuccinelli, who served as an acting deputy secretary at the Department of Homeland Security under President Donald Trump, told Breitbart News.

Biden’s delivery of at least 1.1 million extra foreign workers into Americans’ national labor market would allow employers to drop wages, especially for the least-skilled, healthy, or work-ready Americans.

The inflow of roughly 400,000 families will also worsen the shortage of good housing and so spike rents for millions of Americans.

The wave of foreign children will also add many new children to K-12 schools, so reducing attention for the children of blue-collar Americans.

But the arrival of two million extra migrants would be great for companies and investors, who would benefit from lower wages, more consumer sales, and higher real estate prices.

However, the inflow would also be good for wealthy professionals who would gain cheaper services, including restaurants, dry cleaning, construction, maid services, and gardening. Admittedly, the economic gain for younger professionals would be sharply reduced by the pressure to pay extra for housing in districts with few migrants in the local schools.

“Who is screwed the worst by this? — American poor people,” said Cuccinelli. He explained:

They are dumping illegal labor into the low end of our labor market. At the end of 2019, Donald Trump achieved the lowest poverty rate in American history, 10.4 percent.

Deregulation and tax cuts were great for the economy, but that doesn’t do it for poor people. What really pushes poor people forward is when you do those sorts of economic stimulus things and you cut down on the illegal entrants into the labor pool at the lower end. Their wages rose by more substantial percentage than any other part of our economy, because we were attacking illegal immigration more vigorously than anybody else.

These people proclaim they’re the defenders of the poor, yet they’re screwing the poor and nobody is talking about that.

Biden’s cheap labor migration policy is very unpopular. For example, Latinos are just as likely to oppose as to support the easy migration policy, according to a Marist poll commissioned by the NPR media network.

The poll asked 1,309 adults if they “approve or disapprove of how President Biden is handling immigration.”

Overall, just 33 percent of voters approve of Biden’s border policies, while 54 percent disapprove, says the Marist poll, conducted March 22 to 25, matching other polling results.

Just 27 percent of the swing voting, election-deciding independents approve of Biden’s policies, while 53 percent said they disapprove. The number will likely get worse for Biden because 21 percent of independents said they were still “unsure.”

Latinos split 43 percent approve, 43 percent disapprove — and 15 percent were unsure what to choose, the poll showed.

The border stampede is trampling Biden's immigration plans & there's little sign that he is in control. We're left with rising inflows & dropping polls, plus divided deputies, political theatrics, migration zealots, skewed media, and influential donors.



Border Rush Has Trampled Joe Biden's Immigration Policy, Say Critics
Joe Biden's immigration policy has been upended by the growing number of cellphone-linked migrants rushing through Biden's half-open door.

Estimates Show US Is on Track to Encounter 2 Million Migrants on Southern Border in 2021

By Kipp Jones, The Western Journal
Published March 31, 2021 at 8:32pm

According to reported government estimates regarding the number of migrants expected to cross into the U.S. this year, President Joe Biden’s border crisis is only just beginning.

CNN, citing internal government calculations, reported immigration officials expect to encounter an estimated two million people at the border in 2021. Officials also reportedly believe a great many of those people are not expected to be families or unaccompanied minors, either.

Despite the fact that there are tens of thousands of children currently stuck in cramped facilities, there is no deterrent for more coming every day.

There is also no deterrent for adults and families making the trek north and ultimately expecting to find themselves in communities across the country.

“US Border Patrol encounters are also expected to be largely made up of single adults, who are being turned away at the US southern border as soon as they’re encountered under a public health order, and as a result, might also account for repeat crossers,” CNN reported.

If Biden and officials at the Department of Homeland Security were hoping for a quick end to this crisis, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

The administration has made it clear unaccompanied minors are here to stay. That fact, combined with talk that mass amnesty is on the horizon, and there is simply no stopping the influx of people headed this way seeking to take advantage of the self-described “nice guy” president.

There is in fact another caravan forming to head this way from Central America at this very moment, the New York Post reported.

What could have prevented such a disaster from occurring? For starters, Biden could have avoided portraying the border as a temporarily closed imaginary line on a map while on the stump last year.

Democrats would have also done themselves — and the American people — a favor by embracing law and order on the border before blaming a non-crisis on what they would eventually turn into a catastrophe.

But in October, Biden lamented former President Barack Obama’s record number of deportations in front of the entire country — and world — during the second and final presidential debate.

“Let me ask about your immigration policy, Mr. Vice President. The Obama administration did fail to deliver immigration reform, which had been a key promise during the administration. It also presided over record deportations as well as family detentions at the border before changing course. So why should voters trust you with an immigration overhaul now?” moderator Kristen Welker asked Biden.

Biden might as well have laid out a welcome mat with his response.



“Because we made a mistake. It made — it took too long to get it right. Took too long to get it right. I’ll be president of the United States, not vice president of the United States,” he said. “And the fact is, and I’ve made it very clear, within 100 days, I’m going to send to the United States Congress a pathway to citizenship for over 11 million undocumented people.”

Biden would go on to criticize former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy for migrants seeking asylum.

“This is the first president in the history of the United States of America that anybody seeking asylum has to do it in another country. That’s never happened before in America,” Biden said, attacking Trump over his administration’s strict border enforcement policies.

“That’s never happened before in America,” he added. “You come to the United States and you make your case. That’s how you seek asylum, based on the following, on the following premise, why I deserve it under American law. They’re sitting in squalor on the other side of the river.”

That was after nearly a year of open borders rhetoric.

Would-be border crossers are no longer sitting in “squalor” on the other side of the river.

Under Biden, a record two million migrants are expected to cross the border, and they’re likely all expecting “nice guy” Biden to let them in, to offer them residency and probably citizenship. There is also a chance many of these unvetted people will be voting in coming elections.

CNN noted border crossings haven’t surpassed one million since 2006, which pokes a hole in the Biden theory that crossings right now are increasing due to weather.
Border states must be in for an uncharacteristically moderate spring and summer, as the border crisis is about to overwhelm not only Customs and Border Protection agents, but the communities where these people will ultimately end up residing — unless the Biden administration changes course quickly.
