'Biden breaks border history with the highest EVER crossings in a month: Shocking figures
reveal more than 300,000 migrants tried to get into the U.S. in August'
Snip
'More than 300,000 migrants attempted to cross into the United States in August, surpassing the national record, as the White House says border number ebb and flow.

Last month 304,162 were apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol, exceeding the previous record of 302,412 in December.

The figure is shocking because numbers usually drop during summertime months because of the excessive heat.'

'Friday Afternoon Statistic Dump ' Border Patrol Reports Over 7.5 million Illegal Aliens Released into U.S. During Biden Term, 5.18 Million are Single Adult Males

September 22, 2023 | Sundance | 363 Comments
The Dept of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) waiting until Friday afternoon to drop the latest statistics on illegal alien apprehensions at the U.S. southern border. [DATA HERE] As a current surge is underway, the August apprehension rate was 304,162, the highest of any month so far on record.

[Press release here] Since Joe Biden took office over 7.5 million illegal aliens have been encountered and released into the United States. Of that number 5.18 million were single adult males. This is a wholesale invasion of illegal aliens on a scale never before fathomed. Joe Biden has created this crisis, and it is getting worse.'

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/09/...

More illegals for NYC, Chicago and other sanctuary cities and states. Alright with me.
Very unlikely any will be coming to my small town USA. Nothing for them here unless some farmers in the area need milkers for their cows. 😄

But there is no problem because, "As a current surge is underway, the August apprehension rate was 304,162, the highest of any month so far on record.". Just ask any liberal.

Made me curious. So I looked it up. About 4% of illegal migrants work in the agricultural sector. Not as many as I expected. But, yes, some of them will be coming to a small town near you. Probably are already there.

Yes, they are here. We have huge dairy farms in my area, having in the neighborhood of 4,000 milking cows more or less. Big operations regulated with standards of high quality. Not sure how this works but for every certain amount of cows there must also have acreage to grow crops to feed the animals. Farm land acreage is scooped up sometimes with bidding wars. The farm houses usually are not torn down but use to house the 'green card' legally here for work.
Most all are family groups with children, not the single young adults sleeping on the sidewalks of big cities for handouts.

As I said before we take care of our own. The legal immigrants are a part of the community, also working at becoming Americans, learning the English language, sending their children to our schools and are proud to repeat the Pledge Allegiance at town hall meetings and school events. We have food pantries, Salvation Army and more if needed.

This is the way Aliens should be welcome into America, not the Biden way of thousands and thousands entering America every week with no plans to take care of them.

Wisconsin is famous for a dairy industry that is almost entirely composed of undocumented laborers.

Now, as then, our country is heavily dependent on undocumented Mexican and Latin American workers, even as politicians have insulted them, attacked them and enacted policies ' including taking away their driver's licenses ' that make their lives even harder.

Now, as then, whole industries, especially the Wisconsin dairy industry, would collapse without the labor of undocumented immigrants, who perform an estimated 80% of the work on Wisconsin dairy farms.


Like your belief in Trump, your belief that your dairy workers are "legal" is based on magical thinking, not reality.

Now you want to take care of them? Before you wanted to stop them.

As for Biden, blame Congress. Both sides of the aisle. Congress are the ones whom have to pass legislation for Biden to sign (or veto, as the case may be). There hasn't been a piece of serious immigration legislation in a decade or more. The last time it was proposed, it never went anywhere because one side didn't want to give the other side a "win". So they'd rather sit on their hands, which is what they did.

Do you really think a new piece of legislation could make it onto the floor in either house of Congress today? Because that is what it will take. No POTUS can be really effective on this issue without it.

Perhaps in some rural areas this may be true.
It is not the norm in my area where they are housed, schooled, attend church and take part in community affairs.

per your article....which is the norm here.

'But what interests me the most about the subjects of my book are the deep, personal relationships that have developed over the last couple of decades between Midwestern farmers and Mexican workers ' two groups of rural people who have been thrown together by global economic forces beyond their control.'

As I indicated, they have become a part of the community wanting the American dream and are working for it, not like the many layabouts in New York City where New Yorkers and Mayor Adams are protesting their existence there.

Speak for yourself and Arizona, especially Yuma County, a mere hundred miles more or less from Phoenix.

'Yuma County: Cost of caring for migrants 'not sustainable'
Yuma County cannot continue to bear the cost of caring for immigrants that are flooding across the border without help from the federal government, a county official testified Wednesday.'

Do you really think Biden would sign any legislation that would close the flood gates he opened on Day One becoming president?

Despite your inaccurate characterization, yes...I think he would sign comprehensive immigration reform that could get through both houses of Congress. He's been asking for such a bill almost since day-one.

https://www.dhs.gov/news/2023/09/20/fact-sheet-bid...

President Biden has called on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform since his first day in office. As a result of Congress' failure to enact the reform, the Administration has been using the limited tools it has available to secure the border and build a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system while leading the largest expansion of lawful pathways for immigration in decades. We also urge passage of fully funded emergency appropriations, including the supplemental funding request for border security, as requested by the President this summer.

Oh stop it. 'On his first day in office, President Biden rescinded the proclamation declaring a national emergency at the southern border. Then he cut off funding for the border wall and gutted virtually all Trump-era policies to reduce illegal immigration, including the successful Remain in Mexico policy.' Tom Cotton.

Tom Cotton
JULY 27, 2021..The article is as true today as it was in 2021.

https://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/op-eds/bidens-b...

Open your eyes and realize the damage Biden has done/is doing to America.

'Seven prominent Democrats turn on Biden over soft border policies: 'federal crisis of inaction''
Snip
'A growing number of Democrats have turned on President Biden over his policies at the southern border, as the continuing migrant crisis brings chaos to cities across the country.

From Massachusetts to Arizona, The Post has noted seven prominent liberal politicians and one independent officeholder who say the president needs to do more to stem the flow of migrants to American cities.

Most recently, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said her state has taken charge while the federal government has been missing in action, as she declared a state of emergency last week over the migrant crisis in her state.'

https://nypost.com/2023/08/14/seven-prominent-demo...

Does this article give you a clue how even democrats are turning on Biden because of his open border policy?
Biden says one thing to appease democrats such as you but in reality he continues encouraging more and more illegals to come to America by the thousands and thousands with no plan to take care of them. Towns, cities, states are overwhelm, receiving no help from Biden and the Federal government.

Are Meat And Dairy Doomed Without Immigrant Labor?
This report reveals that U.S. animal agriculture relies heavily on immigrant workers. How did this situation come about, and what does it mean for immigrants, consumers, and advocacy?

In August 2019, Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided poultry processing plants in Mississippi owned by Koch Foods, in which 680 workers were detained on suspicion of being in the country illegally.

This case is not exceptional. Wherever you find industries with less desirable work in the U.S., you'll often find immigrant workers. It is therefore hardly surprising that the meat and dairy industries feature some of the highest shares of non-U.S. workers. These industries take advantage of the minor legal protections offered to immigrants to undermine their pay and working conditions. In other words: meat and dairy industries exploit immigrants.

Ironically, both industries also hinge on them. Meatpackers, butchers, animal caretakers, truck drivers ' these vacancies couldn't be staffed to capacity without immigrant workers. Indeed, foreign-born workers have become integral parts of U.S. meat and dairy production. This report explores the use of immigrant labor by the meat and dairy sectors.
