Pfluger Blasts Biden's Open Borders After 33 Illegals Found in Midland Home

The treachery has reached West Texas, too.

CBS7 in Odessa reported that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Midland said there is an ongoing investigation into the discovery of 33 Guatemalan illegal aliens at a residence in the Tall City. Homeland Security told CBS7 that special agents found the Guatemalan citizens after a federal search warrant was executed on the 500 block of Peck Avenue in Midland.

“I am absolutely infuriated by the news that 33 Guatemalan citizens were found in a home inside the Midland city limits. Make no mistake—this is no longer a crisis at the border, this is an infiltration of our communities and our country. Over two million illegal immigrants are expected to cross the U.S.-Mexico border and be released into the interior of the country unvetted by the end of this fiscal year. Communities like ours are already paying the price,” Pfluger said in a prepared statement.

According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, apprehensions on the southwest border, from Texas to California, skyrocketed to 101,028, during February 2021. Nearly 9,431 were unaccompanied migrant children. These numbers nearly doubled in March 2021. There were 172,331 total apprehensions and 18,890 of those were unaccompanied minor children in March.

In FY 2018, there were 521,090 illegal alien apprehensions on the southwest border the entire fiscal year, from October 1 through September 30. So far in FY 2021, CBP has surpassed that number with 569,979 apprehensions since October 1, 2020. Until April’s numbers are released, there are six more reporting months left in this fiscal year remaining. This reporting is only of those migrants processed by the CBP. How many others are arriving undetected is not known.

The last time border apprehensions exceeded 100,000 was during the crisis in March 2019 when there were 102,731 apprehensions. At that time, the Del Rio Sector Chief of the CBP said the federal agency had lost operational control of the border. Apprehensions did not abate below 100,000 until June 2019, once the Trump administration implemented the Remain in Mexico policy. Watch America’s Open Door:

“There is no question that President Biden’s reckless actions have incentivized the massive surge to our southern border, and his refusal to acknowledge and address the crisis is putting American families at risk. I am again imploring President Biden and Vice President Harris to acknowledge the severity of the crisis, to come to the border and affected communities like Midland, and take immediate action to secure the safety of American families,” Pfluger concluded.
