300 Mostly West African Migrants Cross Border into Arizona; U.S. Experiences 6,000 Percent Increase in Border Crossings by Migrants from Islamic Republic of Mauritania

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: 300 Mostly West African Migrants Cross Border into Arizona:

In what Border Patrol agents describe as a daily event, more than 300 mostly West African migrants walked through drainage gates in the border wall several miles west of Lukeville, Arizona. The group contained around forty migrants from Peru, India, Ecuador, and several Middle Eastern countries, according to Border Patrol agents who spoke to Breitbart Texas.

The video. filmed on Tuesday in the Organ Pipe Monument National Reserve, shows the migrants staging along the border fence just after daybreak. After walking through the open storm drainage gates, welded open to accommodate water run-off during the desert monsoon season, the migrants travel to a nearby water station and then to a rally point where Border Patrol agents begin the initial stages of processing the group.

Breitbart Texas walked along parts of the path with the migrants as they made their way from the border wall to a nearby highway. The migrants showed their enthusiasm in finally making it to the United States — one migrant shouting “Thank you America” repeatedly.

Of the more than 300 migrants making the trek through the reserve, few could speak Spanish or English. Some of the migrants who identified themselves as Senegalese nationals spoke French and a few words in broken English. Others spoke Arabic and Hindi. Some of the migrants can be heard coughing loudly in the group. Many have traveled from outside the hemisphere for months to reach the United States-Mexico border.

The Border Patrol notes a significant increase in migrants from outside the hemisphere. As reported by Breitbart Texas, the arrest of migrants from the Islamic Republic of Mauritania has increased more than 6,000 percent this fiscal year compared to the same time frame in 2022. The arrest of Egyptians at the southwest border has also increased by 1,400 percent over last year. —>READ MORE HERE

U.S. Experiences 6,000 Percent Increase in Border Crossings by Migrants from Islamic Republic of Mauritania:

As Breitbart Texas observed the Arizona border this week, migrant groups continued to cross into the United States from a host of countries — including some considered by the DHS to be of special interest due to the prevalence of terrorism in that country or hostility to the United States. According to a CBP report reviewed by Breitbart Texas, the arrest of migrants from the Islamic Republic of Mauritania and Egypt at the southwest border rose by as much as 6,000 percent compared to 2022 statistics kept by CBP.

Nearly 14,000 citizens of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania were apprehended by Border Patrol agents at the U.S.-Mexico border this fiscal year. In 2022, during the same time frame, only 228 encounters of Mauritanian citizens were recorded. This represents an increase of more than 6,000 percent.

In a July U.S. State Department travel warning, Mauritania is considered unsafe and warns U.S. citizens to reconsider travel to Mauritania due to crime and terrorism. The State Department offers the following summary of Mauritania within the warning.

Country Summary: Violent crimes, such as mugging, armed robbery, and assault, are common. Local police lack the resources to respond effectively to serious crimes. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting places frequented by Westerners.

The arrest of citizens of Egypt at the southwest border also increased by more than 1,400 percent since the beginning of this fiscal year on October 1, 2022. Nearly 3,000 migrants from Egypt have been arrested versus just over 200 in the same time frame in 2022. —>READ MORE HERE
