Apprehension numbers have begun to soar as more and more illegals attempting to cross the southwest border with Mexico are caught.
Within only a 24-hour period, border patrol agents at the Rio Grande Valley Sector have apprehended at least 226 illegal migrants attempting to cross the border.
Brian Hasting, the Chief Patrol Agent at Rio Grande Valley Sector posted on Twitter pictures of two sizably large migrant groups attempting to get past a single border crossing and being apprehended by border patrol agents.
There is no doubt that the increasing number of illegal migrants attempting to cross the border comes in result of Biden’s Open America policies, which seemed to have instilled confidence in migrants to enter the U.S. without the fear of suffering severe consequences.

More exclusive details from Breitbart News report:
Hastings said Rio Grande City agents apprehended one group of more than 100 migrants near La Grulla, Texas, during the early morning hours of April 8. Less than 24 hours earlier, the agents apprehended another 126 migrants at the same location.
Unofficial apprehension numbers obtained from a source operating under U.S. Customs and Border Protection told Breitbart Texas that Rio Grande Valley Sector agents apprehended nearly 44,000 migrants in March. This was part of a total of approximately 209,000 migrants apprehended by Border Patrol agents along the entire southwest border with Mexico.
The March apprehensions put the total during the first six months of Fiscal Year 2022 at more than one million, Breitbart reported. The source revealed the startling number of apprehensions that appear to still be on the increase.
Border Patrol agents and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers are expected to be overwhelmed with migrant crossings in the days and weeks following the expected end of Title 42 in late May. The resources of many federal law enforcement agencies are supposed to be stretched thin as they respond to the expected spike in already record-setting border crossings.
Texas Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX) told Fox News on Wednesday that the administration is anticipating approximately 500,000 migrants to cross the border in the weeks following the end of Title 42.
“They’re talking about 500,000 in the next five weeks,” McCaul told Fox News. “That would be 100,000 people per week coming into the country. We don’t know who they are.”
In response, Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered the Texas Military Department to begin mass migration response rehearsals along the state’s border with Mexico.
Breitbart News outlet also mentioned that Governor Abbott has established plans during a recent press conference that will allow for the transportation of released migrants in Texas to Washington D.C.
The governor signed the letter to TDEM Chief Nim Kid with the order to take action.
“We are taking them to the United States Capitol where the Biden Administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border.”
“Texans have a backbone and the will to secure our border,” Abbott stated. “Two things that Joe Biden does not have.”
It was then that the governor visualized an even greater idea:
“I’ve got a better idea. Instead of busing these people to San Antonio, let’s continue the ride — all the way to Washington, D.C.”
