Border Patrol agents in San Diego are releasing hundreds of illegal immigrants onto city streets as it struggles to deal with a surge of migrants into the area -- just after similar releases had started in Arizona. Video out of San Diego shows hundreds of migrants being released from buses, with migrants from China and Pakistan onto the streets. A conversation in the video shows a migrant speaking to a Border Patrol agent, who tells him he can do whatever he wants now. "You're free to go on and do wherever you want. You're free. You can do whatever you want," the agent says. This is after releases have been taking place in Arizona in the Tucson Sector for days as agents have been facing 2,000 encounters a day and images have emerged of packed shelters in places like Ajo. Meanwhile, Texas is continuing to use razor wire to block migrants trying to enter illegally, as it fends off a challenge from the Biden administration seeking to stop it from building a buoy barrier in the Rio Grande. The border as a whole has seen multiple days this week of over 7,000 illegal crossings, and when combined with migrants who have come to the ports of entry, that number rises to over 9,000. Sources told Fox News this week that early indications show migrant encounters for August on track to exceed 230,000, making it the sixth month this fiscal year over 200,000. It marks the latest difficult month for overwhelmed agents at the border, who are now in the third year of a migrant crisis which has affected not only border communities but also those deeper within the U.S. Both New York City and Chicago have been sounding the alarm about their troubles with coping with the number of migrants that have come their way -- either by themselves or with the assistance of Texas, which has run a bussing program to "sanctuary" cities. Republicans in Congress are pushing for a border security to be passed in the Senate, having already passed the House. But that has shown little chance of receiving Democratic support, while a Democratic reform bill has been rejected by Republicans for the inclusion of an amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants. "And we want to show you what these mass releases look like. Take a look at this video out of San Diego yesterday afternoon. What you're looking at is three unmarked white border patrol buses. They pull up, and they start releasing several hundred illegal immigrants to city streets and sidewalks in San Diego across from a transit terminal. People are on this bus from as far away as China and Pakistan. And keep in mind, these busses are not from Texas, they're not Greg Abbott's buses, these are the Biden Administration's buses. This is the border patrol mass releasing people. You can see handfuls of them are standing around, not knowing where they are, what to do, where to go next." Mass migrant releases begin in San Diego as border overwhelmed: 'You're free', Adam Shaw, Bill Melugin, Fox News, 9/15/2023 Once again, the Biden Administration is allowing migrants into the interior of the U.S. These are people who just show up, no paperwork. In the video, it looks like the group includes many 14 and 16 year old boys. Then a few 20 year old migrants who look like they came from Africa.
Funny how liberals scream bloody murder whenever conservative governors send busloads of illegal immigrants to their stronghold cities but they don't have a damn problem with the Biden administration doing it. Typical hypocrites

I have to wonder, what did the 4.2% of CBP One App users have to do to be turned back? 95.8 Percent of Inadmissible Aliens Using CBP One App Released Into America: Homeland Security Committee Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee have found that 95.8 percent of aliens who sought appointments through the government’s mobile app for immigrants in recent months were released into the country on parole with a Notice to Appear (NTA). That’s more than 266,000 otherwise inadmissible individuals out of more than 278,000 who scheduled appointments, according to documents the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provided the committee covering the period Jan. 12 through Sept. 30 of 2023. “These numbers are proof that [DHS Sec. Alejandro] Mayorkas’ operation is a smokescreen for the mass release of individuals into this country who would otherwise have zero claim to be admitted,” said committee chair Rep. Mark Green, M.D. (R-Tenn.) in a statement on the release of the Customs and Border Protection One (CBP One) app statistics.
