Officials have stated that the reason for welding the gates open is to allow water to flow freely during the annual monsoon season and for the migration of an endangered species of antelope. If you believe that, I have a bridge in New York I would like to sell you. You can collect the toll revenue. Obviously, welding the gates open allows illegal immigrants to flow freely into America.<\/p>\n<p>I have an idea. Let&#8217;s go to all the gated communities that our politicians live in and weld those gates open. Let&#8217;s see how long it is before those gates are magically closed again.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Smugglers are capitalizing on the floodgate blunder, driving migrants by the busload to the border and dropping them off as if they were casual tourists. Once across, they turn themselves in to border agents and say they are seeking asylum.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Border Patrol agents call them \u201cgive-ups.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Last month, 42,561 migrants were encountered at the Tuscon border post, a huge jump over the June number of 27,294. Tuscon now tops traditionally <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/08\/18\/thousands-of-migrants-still-flooding-into-us-through-el-paso\/\">busier border spots at El Paso<\/a> and Laredo in Texas, where 24,352 and 26,627 border crossings, respectively, were reported in July.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Meanwhile Brandon Judd, President of the National Border Patrol Council, said the way in which the open gates were so quickly exploited is a sure sign of cartel influence.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>He told The Post: \u201cAnytime you leave a spillway or a gate opened, the vast majority of people are not going to know it\u2019s open and they\u2019re not going to have the means to get there really, really quickly. Because the cartels are constantly surveilling what we do, the moment something gets left open, it gets exploited.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cIn this particular case, it exploded almost immediately, which shows you how adept the criminal cartels are at exploiting any weakness at any time that we show them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cThe cartels know that all you have to do is cross the border illegally, claim asylum. If you\u2019re with a family unit, if you\u2019re from certain specific countries, if you meet those loopholes that go outside what Secretary Mayorkas has announced, then you\u2019re going to get released and that\u2019s what we\u2019re seeing right now.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cEvery one of us [Border Patrol agents], we\u2019re all left scratching our head on why an administration would allow this to happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cWe\u2019re seeing more and more that this President doesn\u2019t care about what\u2019s best for the country. He cares about what\u2019s best for his re-election.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure this works in favor of the President&#8217;s re-election unless the illegal aliens vote.
