Southwest land border encounters rose in July to 183,503, far higher than the 40,929 from President Donald Trump’s last July in office. Since March of 2021, every month of the Biden administration has seen more border encounters than the worst month of Trump’s entire presidency.
The Biden administration again blamed “disinformation” from “smugglers” for the continued high volume of illegal border crossings, and to be sure, smugglers are not always honest with the migrants that pay them to get across the border.

But is it really “disinformation” from “smugglers” that is causing the influx of migrants from around the world under Biden’s watch, or is it perfectly accurate information from migrants who have already made the journey?
The Associated Press published an article last Friday that sheds some light on the subject:
By the time their paths crossed at the tidy one-story brick house in Cincinnati, they had encountered hundreds of other Mauritanians, nearly all of them following a new path surging in popularity among younger migrants from the West African nation, thanks largely to social media.
New path to the United States. How does it work?
OK. Nicaragua is letting migrants in. But then how do they get into the United States?
So the “new route” to the United States doesn’t mean sneaking into the country past Border Patrol, it means getting purposefully arrested by Border Patrol so they will then release you into the United States with a promise to appear in court later.
It is this knowledge, the knowledge that if Biden’s Border Patrol arrests you, you will be released into the United States and not returned to Mexico, that is driving migration from Mauritania and indeed the rest of the world.
Again, from the Associated Press:
Oh there was a “triggering event” that is causing mass migration from around the world into the United States all right. It was the election of Joe Biden and the implementation of his catch-and-release policies on the border.
If Biden’s Border Patrol stopped releasing migrants into the country, the word would quickly spread around the world on social media and Biden’s border crisis would quickly end.
