Border Encounters Reach 302,000 in December, Sparking Concerns over Fence Removal
Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick expressed his concerns about the ongoing standoff at the border, as the latest numbers reveal a staggering 302,000 border encounters in December alone. This figure, though slightly lower than the peak in previous years, remains alarming considering the year-to-date count of 785,000 encounters in 2024. These statistics compel many to question the wisdom behind the federal government's plan to tear down portions of the border fence, effectively opening up the area for more unauthorized crossings.
