According to a report from Just The News, U.S. Border Agents are being overwhelmed by smugglers at a remote area of the Arizona-Mexico border; officials were forced to close down a station.
From Just The News:
Illegal immigrants from countries beyond South and Central America, including Senegal, Bangladesh and China, are coming to a gap in the remote border wall and walking about 14 miles to surrender to Border Patrol officials, The Associated Press reported Sunday.
As hundreds of immigrants illegally cross every day into the remote area, the government indefinitely shut down the nearby crossing between Lukeville, Arizona, and Sonoyta, Mexico, to reassign border officers from the entry port to help grapple with the influx of illegal immigrants.
The agency also partially closed down other ports of entry in recent months.
Customs and Border Protection said Sunday that it “continues to surge personnel and resources to the Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector to expeditiously take migrants into custody.”
…
The agency also said it is focusing on thwarting smugglers and transportation networks, including bus lines that transport illegal immigrants through northern Mexico.
The Biden Administration recently broke the highest 1-day crossing record with more than 14,000 migrants being logged at the southern border.
