🇺🇲 US-MEXICO BORDER: Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas Declares State of Emergency Amid Flood of 6'000 Migrants in Two Days

A massive influx of now 8'000 migrants crossing into the US/Mexico border this week flooded into the small city of Eagle Pass, Texas (Pop. 29'000); which prompted the mayor of the city, Rolando Salinas to declare a state of emergency on Tuesday.

This massive influx of migrants into US shows no sign of abating going into Saturday night as US mainstream media outlets post a steady stream of shots in and around Eagle Pass of seemingly endless queues of migrants at border checkpoints, as well as stadiums full of migrants huddling in dense crowds under overpasses.

Tensions remain high along the border; the Biden Administration recently removed razor wire from the section of border that passes by Eagle Pass, prompting Texas Governor Gregg Abbott to deploy law enforcement officers to attempt to replace it.

On Wednesday, President Biden granted extended temporary protection status for thousands of Venezuelan migrants already in the country.

Also on Wednesday, media outlets were reporting the US Border Patrol had apprehended over 9'000 illegal immigrants in a 24-hour period. An astounding number even for a country over 300 million.

Most estimates now put illegal border crossings at well over 2 million each year, with US Border Patrol reporting over 181'000 encounters along the US Mexico border in August alone.

🤡 Perhaps Joe Biden thinks you can use cheap immigrant labor to build all those homes for our population of half a million homeless Americans and that's why he's letting them in by the thousands per day.

As Palestinians in Gaza seeking to escape the Israel-Hamas war begin applying to come here through a special immigration program, immigration lawyers say Ottawa is asking for an unprecedented level of personal information from prospective migrants. "It's strikingly different than what is ordinarily required for a visitor visa application," said immigration lawyer Pantea Jafari. "[The federal government] is asking for significantly more information than any of those applications, and even more than any permanent resident's application." This week, the federal government launched a new program to permit up to 1,000 Palestinians who are extended family members of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to apply to come to Canada and stay for three years if their families can support them financially.
