U.S. Customs and Border Protection has relased data showing a staggering amount of southwest border encounters during December.

"In December 2023, the U.S. Border Patrol recorded 249,785 encounters between ports of entry along the southwest border. CBP's total encounters along the southwest border in December were 302,034," CBP reported.

In a statement issued on Friday, President Joe Biden used the term "border crisis" twice.

"For too long, we all know the border's been broken. It's long past time to fix it.That's why two months ago, I instructed my team to begin negotiations with a bipartisan group of Senators to seriously, and finally, address the border crisis," he said in the statement. "If you're serious about the border crisis, pass a bipartisan bill and I will sign it."

GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah tweeted, "If this deal has already 'been negotiated,' why can't senators see it?" Lee then added, "'Democracy dies in darkness.'"

Border security is critical to public safety. For example, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens recently posted about two child sex offenders who were apprehended by authorities.

"USBP agents in Del Rio, TX & Rio Grande Valley, TX nabbed two child sex offenders with prior felony convictions. These subjects were caught trying to re-enter the U.S. illegally. Agents being out on patrol is what stopped them from getting to your communities," Owens noted.

Drug trafficking across the U.S.-Mexico border, including the smuggling of the dangerous drug fentanyl, is also a major issue. The Drug Enforcement Administration says that the Sinaloa and Jalisco Cartels are behind much of the fentanyl flowing into the U.S. "The cartels purchase chemicals from companies in China, mass produce the fentanyl in Mexico, and then traffic and distribute finished fentanyl widely throughout the United States," the DEA has noted.

Misinformation is driving this mania. You have leftwing panicmongers like MSNBC’s O’Donnell predicting ‘millions’ will die if churches are ‘packed’ on Easter. Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates. By Madeline Osburn, The Federalist, March 25, 2020 As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis. That is not the case. A scan of statements made by media, state governors, local leaders, county judges, and more show many relying on the same source, an online mapping tool called  COVID Act Now.  The website says it is “built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response i...

Certain people made billions from 9/11, it looks like many more bosses were given a heads-up just before Covid-19 exploded! Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy? In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly “lucky” all at the same time? One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers, unlike anything th...
