Authored by Brad Jones, John Fredricks via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
Two older SUVs appear to come out of nowhere, slowly at first, then
kicking up clouds of dust as they pick up speed along the southern side
of the U.S.–Mexico border. Two white vans tail them to a gap in the
border wall.
With covered faces, smugglers suspected of working for drug cartels exit
the vehicles, which bear a mix of Californian and Mexican license
plates. The coyotes, as they are known, glare through the slats in the
30-foot-tall border wall, while keeping an eye on their human cargo.
Within seconds, the doors on each vehicle are flung open and around 25
eager illegal immigrants jump out of each SUV and 50 from each van.
“Move it! Move it! Move it!” barks one of the coyotes as he turns his
back to the wall and waves his arms toward a narrow footpath strewn with
shreds of clothing and stray strands of razor wire where the wall ends
at the base of a steep hill.
The illegal immigrants, a few with children, pick up their pace, dashing
a few yards up an incline, around the wall, and into the United States.
The coyotes disappear into the desert as fast and efficiently as they
arrive.
The chatter—mostly Spanish and some Mandarin—tapers off as U.S. Border
Patrol agents, waiting on site, approach the illegal aliens along the
wall to distribute plastic bracelets to them. The 150 new arrivals,
mostly solemn but relieved to be out of the clutches of the cartels,
march along the wall toward tents and makeshift shelters.

near Jacumba on the southeastern fringe of San Diego County. One of
three illegal immigrant encampments within about a 20-mile span along
the border, Willow camp is flanked on the west by 177 camp, south of
Boulevard, California, and Moon camp in Imperial County on the east.

Illegal Immigrant Surge
A small sampling of illegal immigrants at the camps say they came from
China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Mauritania, Colombia,
and Brazil.
Sam Schultz, whose family volunteers for a group called Border Kindness
and are affiliated with the legal services organization Al Otro Lado,
which means “to the other side” in Spanish, delivers food and water to
the camps daily.
He told The Epoch Times on Dec. 5 he was worried about running out of
supplies with so many illegal immigrants crossing that day.
Mr. Schultz said about 30 percent of the illegal immigrants in the
latest wave to the Jacumba camps are from China.
Manny Bayon, a National Border Patrol Council union spokesman in San
Diego, told The Epoch Times the number of illegal immigrants released
into San Diego County has doubled in the last two weeks—from 400 to 500
per day to 800 to 1,000.
Dec. 5 and 6 marked two of the highest days on record for illegal
immigrants apprehended at the border in a single day, although exact
figures were not available, he said. About 1,000 illegal immigrants
occupied the three camps on those days alone.
On Dec. 6, Senate Republicans blocked aid funding to Ukraine and Israel
while asking the Biden administration to do something to halt the flow
of illegal aliens across the southern border.
With detention facilities over capacity and asylum cases backlogged in
the immigration courts for the next decade, Congress should force the
Biden administration to secure the border, Mr. Bayon said.
“The Biden administration is not doing anything. They haven’t done
anything in the last three years,” he said.
The union fully supports the move to block the budget until the border
crisis is solved, Mr. Bayon said.
“They should even withhold funding to sanctuary cities."
Chicago and New York—both sanctuary cities, which shield illegal
immigrants from federal immigration authorities—are now realizing the
surge in illegal immigration over nearly three years is a “bigger mess,”
than anyone imagined, he said.
Morale Hits ‘Rock Bottom’
Another Border Patrol agent in Arizona, who spoke to The Epoch Times on
the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation, said most agents
don’t believe they have the support of the Biden administration nor
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Border Patrol agents feel “100 percent betrayed by Mayorkas and the
Biden administration,” he said.
Every patrol station is so over capacity, much of the manpower is going
to process and transport illegal immigrants, which leaves fewer agents
left in the field, he said.

Morale among agents, he said, has hit an all-time low.
“It’s rock bottom, by far the worst I’ve ever seen,” the Border Patrol
agent said. “A lot of them are leaving. They’re leaving the patrol. They
don’t even have a backup plan—no job. They’re just so sick and tired of
having their hands tied. Guys are having a hard time even putting on
their uniforms. Right now, we’re just Uber drivers. We’re just watching
it all happen. We’re watching the destruction of our country.”
Although crossing the border by land anywhere but U.S. ports of entry is
illegal, and illegal immigrants could be arrested and deported under
current law, the Border Patrol has been told to stand down, the source said.
“We’ve been told we can’t stop anybody,” he said.
Meanwhile, the “actual bad guys,” who use illegal immigrants as their
drug “mules” to smuggle fentanyl and cocaine, are evading capture.
“There’s no pulse check on that, because everybody is either ...
driving, processing, or providing medical attention,” the Border Patrol
agent said.
“Agents signed up to defend the border and protect our country, and
we’re just not being allowed to do it.”
Drug and sex trafficking have become worse in America, leaving agents
voiceless and struggling with their consciences, because they know
they’re not doing enough to push back against the Mexican cartels, he said.
“This is an absolute cash grab for them. The Biden administration is
really helping facilitate it and embolden the cartels, and we have to
just stand by, and you’re not allowed to speak about it,” he said. “We
took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. We need more people
to stand up, and the American people have a right to know what’s going on.”

border wall of San Diego, Calif., on May 31, 2023. (John Fredricks/The
Epoch Times)
From the moment President Joe Biden was sworn into office nearly three
years ago, the message has essentially been that border is open, and now
is the time for migrants to rush the southern border, he said.
On day one, the Biden administration signed executive orders and issued
memos to temporarily suspend deportations of illegal aliens, reversed
former President Donald Trump's ban on travel from terror-prone
countries, halted border wall construction, stopped adding people to the
"Remain in Mexico" program, fortified the Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals (DACA) program, and released a sweeping immigration package to
Congress that included amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants.
“We’ve never had these kinds of numbers before. You literally have
people coming in from all over the world, and in such massive numbers
that it’s hard to stop,” the Border Patrol agent said.
National Security Threat
Alarmed by the number of military-age men coming into the country from
all over the world, amid conflicts between Israel and Hamas, as well as
Ukraine and Russia, the United States needs to tighten border security
and step up its vetting process, said the border agent.
With Border Patrol arresting 172 illegal immigrants on the terrorist
watchlist in fiscal year 2023, he is also worried about fighting-age men
from Middle East countries entering the United States without rigorous
vetting.
