Criminal organizations that trade women, children, families and single adults across the U.S.-Mexico border earned as much as $ 14 million a day in February, according to sources at border patrols.
“Trafficking in human beings is a multi-billion dollar industry,” said former Tucson Border Patrol Chief Roy Villareal, who retired from the agency in December after 30 years. ‘Many of these vulnerable populations are using their life savings. Some are in fact servants and they have been working off this debt for a long time. In other cases, some of these migrants are asked to transport drugs or some form of crime. to work off another part of their debt. ‘
The windfall of human trafficking is occurring as U.S. taxpayer costs continue to rise for the border crisis, reaching $ 5 million a day, based on 2019 figures provided by Health and Human Services, which incurs an ‘inflow’ of shelter costs daily of $ 800 per immigrant set. Furthermore, the Biden administration last week awarded a $ 86 million contract for hotel rooms to own 1,200 migrant families as the crisis exceeds ICE capacity.

Additional costs include overtime and hotel costs for the hundreds of agents assigned to Texas from other areas. For that context, in 2019, Congress allocated an extra $ 4.6 billion to deal with a similar migratory boom. In 2014, Congress gave President Obama an extra $ 2.7 billion to address his border crisis.
“The Biden administration has been a serious failure when it comes to ensuring the safety of underage minors crossing our border,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbot said in a statement. “President Biden’s refusal to address the border crisis not only enables criminal actors such as human traffickers and smugglers, but it exposes innocent unaccompanied children to illness and potentially unsafe living conditions.”
On Fox News Sunday, DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended the president’s handling of the situation, saying: “We encourage families not to send their children on dangerous journeys, because so many do not make it safe. . We encourage them not to do this. to do it. Yet, when they arrive at the border, we have a responsibility to allow them to make their claims under U.S. law. ‘
An appeals court ruled this year that the U.S. is not legally obligated to accept unaccompanied minors. The Trump administration has sent most Central American minors, the majority of whom are 15 to 17 years old, to their home countries to join the family.
As part of the blackout in the media, the Biden administration agencies responsible for caring for migrants – HHS, DHS and FEMA – all refused to communicate with Fox News when we asked for cost projections.
The refusal is despite the fact that former officials tell us that each agency keeps track of the daily expenses – which include a new Carrizo Springs, Texas shelter, one in Midland, Texas, the Dallas Convention Center and two additional shelters in New Jersey and Florida.
NGOs, or non-governmental organizations, are also seeking the support of taxpayers. The agencies usually step in when ICE or CBP shelters reach their capacity. In San Diego, the province asked the California delegation to reimburse Jewish family services for shelter, food, transportation and case management for hundreds of migrants admitted since January.
COMMANDMENTS TELL MIGRANTS ‘DO NOT COME US’
“They did hold a gun to our head because they asked for money for non-governmental organizations that take on these refugees,” said Darrell Issa, R-California. “And they wanted an indefinite amount of money for something permanent. And they basically wanted a blank check.”
Issa’s staff have asked for a breakdown of spending, but the country has yet to respond. “The NGOs like to take federal dollars to do social work. But at the end of the day, the taxpayers are on the hook and probably for a long time,” he said.
Despite the surprise of the White House and Mayorkas, Villareal says that top border patrol officials, including BG sector chief Brian Hastings, specifically warned the incoming Biden team in early December that their plans would lead to an influx of migrants lead.
“During the transition, we told them what would happen if they followed this route. So it’s predictable and predictable. And they took this route. Therefore, you have to ask yourself why they did it, and the answer is that they want to this flood on the border, ”said former ICE chief Ken Cuccinelli.
During its daily briefing, the White House fired the Trump administration daily, calling the treatment of asylum seekers “cruel” and “inhuman.”
But the numbers provided by the Department of Justice show that the Trump administration has granted more asylum applications, and at a higher rate, than Obama in his first or second term.
Obama Asylum Cases Approved (2009-2012)
Approvals – 36,536
Award ratio – 4.1
Obama asylum cases approved (2013-2016)
Approvals – 34,933
Award ratio – 6.8
Trump Asylum Cases Approved (2017-2020)
Approvals – 57,014
Award ratio – 12.8

In the case of criminal organizations, profits made at the border are used to pay off corruption of police and government officials in Central America, which further fuels the border crisis. However, Biden claims that his strategy of sending US tax money south will strengthen those governments.
A portion of the smuggling money is usually paid in advance, but is usually paid over time by the worker, their family or an employer. The money pays for transportation, food, shelter and a guide to get across the border. In some cases, the fees also cover transportation to a place where the worker is expected to stay for years.

Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, will lead a 14-member delegation to the border this week.
On Sunday, Arrington told Fox News Live: “I do not think people in the federal government, whether they are Mayorkas or members of Congress, are prepared to see what is going on at the border because of President Biden’s policies. I heard the track about Mayorkas saying that we encourage people not to cross the border. The fact is that actions speak louder than words. And the policy summed up says: come one, come all, break our laws and we won ‘tu keep and deport. ‘
