Each day, up to 1,000 illegal aliens<\/a> \u2013 and likely many more — evade apprehension at the southern border en route into the U.S. These \u201cgot-aways\u201d have spiked in recent weeks as more Border Patrol officers are pulled off frontline duty to tend to children and family migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGot-aways,\u201d like illegal aliens at large in this country, are impossible to enumerate with precision. Estimates<\/a> are derived by counting illegal immigrants who escape after being observed by aircraft platforms and camera systems. In addition, Border Patrol agents use sign-cutting techniques to identify footprints where cameras do not capture the crossing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cochise County, which runs its own camera system in southern Arizona, figures that \u201cgot-aways\u201d accounted for 72 percent of the migrants in its jurisdiction. In Texas\u2019 Del Rio Sector, 1,700 \u201cgot-aways\u201d<\/a> were counted in a week when 5,700 migrants were detained \u2013 a nearly 1-in-3 ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the Biden administration\u2019s catch and release<\/a> policies allow migrants into the U.S., many without even a Notice to Appear (NTA) in immigration court, \u201cgot-aways\u201d may not seem like such a big deal any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But \u201cgot-aways\u201d are surging, and undermining administration claims that the border is under control. For fiscal year 2016, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported that\u00a0roughly 106,000<\/a> border crossers escaped apprehension. Midway through the 2021 fiscal year, \u201cgot-aways\u201d are up to 130,000<\/a> and counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Morgan, former acting\ndirector of CBP and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and now a senior\nfellow at FAIR, noted, \u201cWho do you think are the ones getting away? It\u2019s not\nyour upstanding citizens. That\u2019s where the criminal element is coming in.\nThat\u2019s where the gang members are getting through.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 800 criminal aliens<\/a>, including 92 sex offenders and 63 gang members, were apprehended on the Texas border in recent days. How other criminals slipped through? Nobody can say for certain, but one is too many. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
