Migrants have crowded downtown El Paso awaiting Title 42's termination. 545 national guardsmen have been deployed to border hotspots ahead of May 11. Federal and state officials say they are expecting the legal crossing of 13,000 migrants daily once title 42 is lifted. Many cities in both. Texas and Arizona have already declared a state of emergency.

This is not the first time we've seen this kind of human exploitation. Weaponized migration, is used to achieve economic, political, and military objectives. We saw this tactic implemented in 2016 when the European Union made a deal to pay Turkey billions of dollars to keep Syrian asylum-seekers from crossing over their land. Turkey found a way to manipulate a Civil War they themselves were involved in to make billions.

China has surpassed the European Union as the second largest trading partner with Latin America. In 2014, the massive spike in illegal migration came primarily out of the northern triangle countries, which happen to have the strongest ties with China.

It would appear, our country is being invaded from both outside and within. The Biden administration has refused to acknowledge, how the cost of housing and feeding men, women and children, who have illegally migrated to the United States, is significantly taxing on an already struggling economy. It has also become taboo or right wing extremist talk to address the fact that not only are hard-working families crossing the border illegally, but also violent criminals.

This is no doubt a humanitarian crisis brought on by the greed of powerful Governments.
