Unfortunately, the graphic suggests that the border patrol is doing its job. Aren't "expulsions" a good thing? Of course repelling at the boarder so that alien feet do not stand here would be better!
Um no.
The deception is ‘apprehensions and expulsions’. The VAST majority are being processed and moved to the interior of the Nation. Processed means given $$, a phone, and a hearing date years away. This is being done to make it hard or impossible to deport them later.
The Trump championed ’Remain in Mexico’ has been ended. Under that policy they were sent back to Mex or even flown back to whatever country they came from.
Anyone who thinks the overwhelming majority of these ‘apprehended’ illegals are not being allowed to stay in the US needs to put down the crack pipe.
In addition there are huge numbers that are neither ‘apprehended nor expelled’ because nobody sees them coming across because the majority of BP Agents are doing paperwork and acting like concierges instead of protecting the border.
This is not a slam against the BP Agents, I have friends there. Most agents are sick to there stomachs about how they are being used to facilitate illegal immigration. Many are trying to leave. Some have even committed suicide over this.
