This is a sharp increase over the 1,700 migrants Border Patrol agents encountered in the first two weeks of April.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Chavez (Gloria Chavez, chief of the U.S. Border Patrol Rio Grande Valley Sector) said the reason for the sudden increase isn\u2019t clear yet but it may have to do with migrants being frustrated with the government app that allows them to seek asylum at a port of entry. The app is plagued with problems. Some migrants who crossed the border last week said cartel threats motivated them. Brownsville is across the Rio Grande River from Matamoros, Mexico, there is a huge camp of tents that house 2,000 people waiting to cross into Texas. Some of these tents were set on fire last week. Migrants blamed the cartels but government officials said the fires may have been set by frustrated migrants angry about their long wait on the border. Imagine that \u2013 migrants are so arrogant now that they expect to cross the border on their time schedule. This is what Biden\u2019s border crisis has created.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article notes:\\<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>DHS Secretary Mayorkas still refuses to take accountability for the Biden border crisis.
