Border Patrol catching less than a third of illegal immigrants coming over in part of Arizona:

Border Patrol agents said Wednesday they’ve been largely pulled off the border in Arizona, allowing massive numbers of illegal immigrants to walk into the country without even being stopped.

The National Border Patrol Council said just one in five agents in the Tucson region right now is assigned to patrol duties. The rest are handling “administrative” functions, taking them off the front line.

One station in the Tucson sector made 134 arrests on Tuesday, but knows of 277 others who got away. That works out to a pitiful 33% apprehension rate.

Still others were “not detected at all,” said the NBPC, the union that represents the agents.

“There is no ‘secure’ border,” the council said on Twitter.

Stephen Miller, who was an architect of President Trump’s immigration policies, said on Twitter that the numbers show the Biden administration has effectively given a “stand down” order to the Border Patrol. --->READ MORE HERE

Migrant got-aways are migrants who are observed by electronic surveillance, parts of groups not apprehended, or tracks observed by agents in the field who are not apprehended. It is considered to be a conservative estimate. --->READ MORE HERE
