Single Sector on U.S. Northern Border Sees Unprecedented Surge of Illegals, More Than Past 17 Years Combined.

A Border Patrol sector on the United States-Canadian border has seen an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants in the last year. Covering New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire, the sector has seen border agents detain nearly 20,000 illegal immigrants for the fiscal year 2024. The number of arrests suggests the surge of illegal crossings under the Biden-Harris government is not just impacting the southern border.

According to Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia, who oversees the U.S. border’s Swanton Sector, his agents have apprehended 19,222 individuals attempting to cross the border from Canada illegally. He adds that the detained are believed to originate from at least 97 different countries—adding further evidence that the U.S. border crisis is no longer just fueled by illegal immigrants from a handful of Central and South American countries.

Concerningly, the border data released by Garcia shows that far fewer illegal immigrants—6,925—were arrested in his sector in the 2023 fiscal year, and 1,065 in the fiscal year 2022. The number of illegals arrested while crossing from Canada in the Swanton Sector only broke 1,000 apprehensions in a single fiscal year under President Donald J. Trump and has otherwise not crossed into the quadruple digits since 2010.

The Biden-Harris government’s executive action, allegedly intended to reduce the number of asylum seekers entering the United States, only applies to the southern border with Mexico. It is unclear when, in the fiscal year 2024, the Swanton Sector saw the most illegal crossings. The National Pulse reported in August that the Biden-Harris government’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has sought to expedite the asylum process for illegal immigrants entering from Canada.

Migrant Caravan Begins March on U.S., Hoping to Arrive Before Trump’s Reelection.

Hundreds of illegal aliens from around 12 countries are marching from southern Mexico towards the U.S., aiming to reach the southern border before potential border closures if former President Donald J. Trump wins is reelected in November.

Miguel Salazar, a Salvadoran, expressed fear that a restored Trump administration could stop letting in migrants through CBP One, an app used for scheduling appointments at U.S. border posts to present asylum claims. The app is accessible only once migrants reach Mexico City or northern states.

Departing from Ciudad Hidalgo, adjacent to Mexico‘s border with Guatemala, the group waited weeks for travel permits to proceed northward. Organizing into larger groups like this may reduce the risks of gang violence and interception by Mexican immigration authorities, though such caravans often disperse due to fatigue.

While illegals in the caravan currently number in the hundreds, previous caravans have grown to become thousands strong.

Last December, a caravan comprising between 6,000 and 10,000 migrants marched on the U.S. border, while another caravan in 2021 involved at least 3,000 people.

The leader of the 2021 caravan went as far as issuing violent threats to U.S. Border agents, saying they were “ready for war.”

Joe Biden‘s disastrous border policies have led to millions of illegals crossing into America.

WATCH: Kassam Explains The Democrat Insurrection, Border Crisis, the ‘Arrogance of Modernity’, and Predicts Mass Protests.

During a marathon appearance on War Room with Stephen K. Bannon this week, The National Pulse’s editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam hit on three topics which are likely to dominate national media through the New Year.

According to Kassam: the Democrats are dusting off their 2020 playbook in order to kick Donald Trump off the 2024 ballot; our national elites are propelled by arrogance – believing they’re smarter than those who came before them; and the unchecked border crisis will result in mass street protests against the Biden regime.

The Real 2020 Insurrection.

In late summer 2020, Kassam and Bill McGinley put together analysis of a strategy put forward by Democrat election-lawyer Marc Elias as well as Soros advisor Rosa Brooks. Their plans established a predicate for stealing the 2020 presidential election. The groups anticipated that Donald Trump would appear the overwhelming victor during initial election returns, but explained that the weeks-long counting of mail-in ballots would eventually put Joe Biden over the top.

As Kassam notes, various leftist groups like Act Blue provided material support for the actual insurrection – Antifa’s siege of the White House complex in late May and early June, as well as the routine Black Lives Matter violence in the run up to the 2020 election.

The Arrogance of Modernity.

Reflecting on the humility and wisdom of those who attended the town hall at the Cowboy Church in Casa Grande, Arizona on Wednesday night, Kassam noted our national political elites couldn’t appear more different. Instead of humility and a reverence for those who came before them, Kassam argues Democrats and the left believe they must prove they’re smarter than past generations.

“The people who were in the Cowboy Church in Casa Grande last night do not fancy themselves as smarter than this nation’s founders… the people who occupy the halls of power… start from a position that because several centuries have passed, therefore they must be smarter than the people who founded this nation,” Kassam said.

The Forthcoming Street Protests.

Finally, in an ominous prediction, Kassam told Bannon the continued unchecked flow of illegal immigrants into the United States under President Joe Biden’s watch will likely result in civil unrest. Referring to Americans, like those who attended the Cowboy Church town hall, Kassam said: “You feel in these peoples’ demeanor… they’re angry. And you feel that something will absolutely give way here, because these people I just don’t think are going to sit around and take it anymore.”

He noted the mass demonstrations which broke out in Germany against mass immigration when then-Chancellor Angela Merkel allowed 1.7 million migrants into her country. Kassam said the per-capita number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. had already surpassed the name which led to tens-of-thousands protesting in Germany.

Matt Gaetz Blasts Airlines for Mass Transport of Illegals, Demands Details as Migrants Flood U.S. Airports.

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is calling on Ed Bastion, CEO of Delta Air Lines, to appear before Congress in order to answer questions regarding his company’s involvement with the transportation of illegal immigrants from the U.S. border into the interior of the country.

“The United States Congress has an interest in understanding pursuant to which arrangements with federal agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) non-resident aliens are able to book and travel on Delta Air Lines flights,” Gaetz wrote.

The Florida lawmaker expressed concerns over to what degree the illegal immigrants had been vetted and screened on both national security and public health grounds. Specifically, Gaetz is asking Bastion to provide to Congress the number of illegal immigrants the airline has “transported on behalf of the government or non-governmental organizations since January 20, 2021” as well as if Delta has received any benefits, funding, or credit from the federal government in exchange for providing transport for illegal immigrants.

Additionally, he pressed Bastion as to details regarding the process for which NGOs purchase transportation for illegal immigrants using Delta flights and if the TSA has dictated to the company what sorts of identification are necessary for illegal immigrants to clear airport security.

“I’m concerned the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) may be allowing non-resident aliens to board flights, including those operated by Delta Air Lines, with an alternative form of identification that meets a weaker standard than that used to verify the identities of American citizens when they fly,” Gaetz wrote.

U.S. airline passengers have reported seeing lines illegal immigrants at airports in the Southwestern United States, many of whom appear to be boarding flights – ostensibly paid for by the Biden regime – to other U.S. cities despite lacking identification documents.

Child Rapist Arrested In Martha’s Vineyard After Illegally Entering US to Avoid 14-Year Prison Sentence.

A Brazilian man convicted of raping a five-year-old child in his home country in 2019 has been apprehended by law enforcement in Martha’s Vineyard after he illegally entered the United States to avoid his 14-year prison sentence.

Saulo Cardoso Ferreira, 37, was arrested by Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston officers – a division of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) – during a routine traffic stop on the island last Thursday. His whereabouts were unknown after he went into hiding to avoid his sentence.

U.S. immigration officials reluctantly admitted they did not know when or how the convicted child rapist entered the country. Worse still, ICE said Ferreira has entered the U.S. illegally multiple times dating back to 2007.

“This undocumented Brazilian national represented a significant threat to the inhabitants of Martha’s Vineyard,” said ERO Bostons Field Office Director Todd Lyons in a statement. “We will continue to apprehend and remove anyone who attempts to use our New England community as a refuge from justice.”

In the 2022 fiscal year, ERO arrested a staggering 46,396 foreigners who entered the U.S. with criminal histories, including 8,164 sex offenders, 1,112 kidnappers, and 1,501 people convicted for homicides, according to ICE data.

House Report: Illegals to Cost America Nearly HALF A TRILLION Dollars.

American taxpayers may foot a $451 billion bill for known “gotaways” – those who have evaded U.S. border security when entering the country – and illegal migrants released into the United States under the leadership of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, according to a report by the GOP-led House Homeland Security Committee.

The 50-page report claims millions of dollars are spent each day on costs directly associated with the “unprecedented crisis” caused by Mayorkas at the southern border. The range of costs includes “everything from emergency medical care to increased demands on law enforcement to housing and shelter benefits for illegal aliens.”

The document draws on figures from the Center for Immigration Studies, which calculated the cost of the country’s immigration policies under Mayorkas, finding it may be as high as almost half a trillion dollars.

The report similarly found the burden of illegal immigration on the country’s economy to be upwards of a staggering $150 billion as of 2022. The total federal, state, and local costs of illegal migration are around $182 billion, while illegal migrants themselves contribute just $31 billion in taxes.

“Only a small fraction is ever recouped from the taxes paid by illegal aliens, with the rest falling on the shoulders of American citizens and lawful residents,” the report adds.

“This report reveals in painstaking detail the dollar costs facing the American people every day that this chaos continues, both in small towns on the border and in big cities like New York,” said Mark Green (R-Tenn), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.
