In a recent development regarding border control, sources have revealed that over 85% of migrants attempting to cross the border are being released into the United States. This data was reportedly shared by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who made the statement in response to a question posed to him last week. Border Patrol sources have further indicated that currently more than 70% of migrants crossing the border are being released each day, with some days witnessing an even higher percentage.
The revelation has sparked concerns regarding the immigration situation at the border, with critics pointing out the discrepancy between Mayorkas' statement and the actual figures provided by border patrol agents. Congressman John James, who recently visited the southern border, spoke about the issue, accusing Mayorkas of dishonesty and bemoaning the lack of transparency in the current administration. He highlighted the potential dangers posed by this significant number of migrants being released into the country, as the authorities have limited information about their identities and motives.
