Harris Claims Support For Border Security Ahead Of Trip, Facts Tell A Different Story

Kamala Harris making her first trip to the US Mexico border – since becoming the border Czar back in 2021 – She’ll be stopping in the Tucson Arizona sector,
And even though the illegal migrant crisis is impacting people across the nation – Harris continues to claim the administration has been successful on border policy.
According to new data released by the CBP agents in a pair of Border patrol sectors in South Texas, had slight increases in August – seeing about 13,000 illegal migrant crossings, however that number is much lower than the nearly 90,000 encounters in December, thanks to Governor Greg Abbott and Operation Lone Star.
Illegal migration has been at record highs since the start of the Biden-Harris administration at one point reaching more than 235,000 illegal crossing in a single month.
That’s when Governor Abbott stepped in and created Operation Lone Star – resulting in an 85% decrease in illegal migrant crossings in the state.
While the number of illegal migrants crossing in Texas is drastically lower, the numbers in Arizona and California – according to abbott -have increased – pointing to the success coming from his operation and not Harris.
Since the launch of the program there have been more than 518,000 illegal migrant apprehensions, more than 46,000 arrests, 40,000 of which were felony charges. In addition more than 521 million lethal doses of fentanyl were seized- which is enough to kill every man, woman, and child in the US and Mexico combined.
Overall - since the start of the Biden - Harris administration more than 9 million illegal migrants have crossed the border not including the nearly 2 million got-aways - however many experts are predicting that number is closer to 20 million illegal migrants
