Illegal alien 'encounters' at the Southern border are on pace to rise by a whopping 30% from the numbers that came in last month, according to reports.
CBP encountered roughly 130,000 illegals in the first 17 days of November. For the first 17 days in December, CBP reported about 167,000 encounters, according to a CBP source. That is a jump of 37,000 encounters, or 28%.
This surge in illegal alien crossings has overwhelmed local officials in southern border towns in areas such as Eagle Pass, Texas. As of this morning, over 2,000 illegals were waiting to be processed in the city.
The report comes as Republicans say they will hold up any more aid for Ukraine unless the Biden Administration does something to fix the border disaster.
