Former Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Deputy Commissioner Robert Perez has a wake up call for border crisis deniers:
“What we’re seeing since February of this year is absolutely unprecedented, the numbers we haven’t seen in 20 years.”
Perez continus, “It’s an absolutely broken, porous, dysfunctional legal immigration system that was never designed to handle these volumes or are resourced to handle these volumes of illegal flows, again controlled and laced by criminal organizations.”
According to Fox News, “There were more than 180,000 migrant encounters in May alone, and while the numbers have been rising since April last year, they have hit new highs this year. The increase has also coincided with a spike in fentanyl and migrants with criminal convictions.”
