DeSantis: 70 Percent of Migrants Apprehended in Del Rio, Texas, Headed to Florida

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis expressed surprise at reports from the border in Del Rio, Texas, saying that 70 percent of apprehended migrants are headed to his state. The Florida governor’s comments came following a border briefing with Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Saturday.

Governor DeSantis told reporters that 70 percent of the migrants apprehended in the Del Rio Border Patrol Sector are bound for Florida. He also said that 95 percent of the methamphetamine coming into his state comes from the Texas border.
“I think those numbers are eye-popping,” the Florida governor said. “The number of these people coming across illegally, who are telling folks that their destination is Florida, obviously I knew we were going to get some, but I didn’t think it’d be a majority.”

DeSantis said some of this information came from the law enforcement personnel his state sent to Texas to help with the border crisis that has exploded since President Joe Biden took office in January.
“Our Florida personnel have assisted with the apprehension of more than 2800, illegal aliens and they’ve assisted with more than 100 arrests for felonies, of those aliens including human trafficking, drug smuggling, and stolen vehicles and so they have had a big impact,” the Florida governor reported. “I certainly wouldn’t have been able to ring up those numbers a year ago there’s just no way.”

Governor Abbott responded to the Florida governor, saying, “We thank Governor DeSantis and as well as the other officials from Florida, who are here with us today. We appreciate your support, whether it be in personnel resources, whether it be aircraft, whether it be boats, but we need all the manpower, we can get to repel the incredible number, the record-breaking number of people who are coming across the border.”

“I do want to add that in addition to Florida, Texas is so proud to have support from other states including Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Arkansas, and Ohio,” Abbott stated. “This is a national-based issue and Governor DeSantis made the points of why this is such a national issue. And that what happens at the border may be happening here today, but it will be happening in these other states, tomorrow, or next week, or next month.”

Agents in the five Texas-based Border Patrol sectors apprehended more than 730,000 so far this fiscal year. The apprehensions account for more than two-thirds of the more than one million migrants apprehended along the U.S. southwestern border with Mexico.

Border Patrol agents assigned to the five Texas-based sectors apprehended 732,573 migrants during the first nine months of Fiscal Year 21, according to information released on Friday in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Southwest Land Border Encounters Report. This is up from 155,246 apprehended during the same period during the previous year — an increase of nearly 372 percent.

Priest follows his flock to the border as thousands flee violence in Mexico (5,000 from Michoacan.)

TIJUANA (Border Report) — Late Monday evening, as the sun was starting to set on Tijuana’s east side, Father Juan Diego Mendoza was outside pulling on a rope and letting go, ringing a church bell calling people to Mass.

The Catholic priest recently arrived in Tijuana to be reunited with members of his former congregation who have fled the Mexican state of Michoacán in recent months.

“I’m fleeing like the rest,” said former Michoacán resident Brenda Esquivel. “There’s a lot of violence and the truth is, they’ll harm you, your family and your children.”

Esquivel says she left three months ago and now hopes to make it to the United States in the future.

“We’re seeking another country as a refuge to educate and better our children,” she said.

EXCLUSIVE: Border Patrol Facilities in West Texas Again Face Overcrowding

A source within Customs and Border Protection says the Border Patrol is facing overcrowding issues again at particular facilities within the Del Rio Sector of Texas. On Monday, more than 400 migrants surrendered in Del Rio alone. The mostly Haitian and Venezuelan migrants are contributing to the overcrowding.

At one facility in Eagle Pass, a soft sided structure was constructed to help deal with the current crisis and has yielded unprecedented migrant traffic levels. The source notes the newer facility is currently 200 percent over the COVID capacity standard
The facility is more than 300 detainees over its 500-max capacity. Several sites are dealing with COVID-19 positive detainees who need isolation, according to the source.

The current level of apprehensions made in the Del Rio Sector is the highest in 20 years. The sector arrested more than 149,000 migrants since October 2020. The Border Patrol’s Del Rio Sector is second only to the Rio Grande Valley in apprehensions. Del Rio is showing a 500 percent increase in apprehensions over the previous year
Despite plans by ICE to release single adult Haitian, Venezuelan, and Cuban migrants, the Border Patrol cannot keep pace with the flow of migrants illegally entering the area. In total, Del Rio facilities hold nearly 2,000 migrants waiting final dispositions. In other areas of Texas, the source says Border Patrol facilities are facing the same situation.

In the Rio Grande Valley, more than 4,000 migrants are currently being detained.

On Tuesday, heavy rains offered some reprieve from the mass entry of migrants in Del Rio. The downpours brought water levels in the Rio Grande too high to wade across, slowing entries.

Rio Grande Sector Chief Patrol Agent Brian Hastings told KURV radio in McAllen, Texas, that more than 40 of his agents tested positive for COVID-19 so far this year, Fox News reported. His announcement comes amid a spike in the number of migrants apprehended in this sector who are testing positive for the virus.

I asked what a chain link fence is going to stop? Texas DPS tells me the idea is to cut the feds out of the equation. No trespass signs allow them to arrest on local charges. Instead of calling Border Patrol, they will take migrants to jail for violating Texas law.

New Border Wall Construction Begins near West Texas Town

EAGLE PASS, Texas — Site preparation work for one segment of Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s recently announced border wall project is visibly underway south of the city. On Thursday, work crews could be seen clearing land and surveying property near a truck route leading to the Camino Real International Bridge.

On Wednesday, migrants could be seen crossing through the area that will soon be the site of a several-mile concrete barrier and fence to impede access from the Rio Grande. The site is part of the right-of-way for Texas State Loop 480. The loop parallels the border for several miles and is notorious for migrant traffic.

USA forced prices to rise around the world, by Olga Samofalova for VZGLYAD, 27.07.2021.

The USA is to blame for the acceleration of world inflation. This statement was made by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Washington put the dollar-printing press at full capacity during the pandemic to save the economy. As a result, the whole world is now reaping the benefits of the United States' unprecedented assistance to its citizens.

Vladimir Putin declared America's fault in accelerating global inflation. “In the US, inflation has exceeded five percent, although, in my opinion, their target is somewhere in the region of two. And for two years in a row they have been making up the budget with a 15 percent deficit. This deficit is extinguished at the expense of what? Through emission. Hence inflation. Of course, this is reflected entirely and completely on the entire world economy, bearing in mind the importance of the American (economy) for the whole world and the importance of the dollar as the most demanded reserve currency, "Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting on economic issues.

According to Putin, inflation in Russia "albeit not so significant, but still goes beyond our targets." He called on the government to take coordinated action in response to rising prices.

Before the 2019 pandemic, inflation was the second lowest in the history of modern Russia. The absolute minimum was recorded in 2017. In the 2020 pandemic year, inflation reached 4.91% after 3.04% in 2019. This year, the Central Bank's forecast is 4.7-5.2%, but in 2022 it should drop to 4-4.5%, and then stay at the target level of 4%.

Actually, problems with inflation acceleration began last year in many countries. And the main culprit is indeed the United States.

“The United States exports inflation to other countries - it dumps the growth of inflationary tension to developing countries, otherwise they would have inflation much higher than 5%. This is one of the consequences of the global economy,

when countries depend on each other, on the policies of external regulators and on the amount of money printed - dollars and euros, ”says Artem Deev, head of analytical department at AMarkets.

For example, there was no such situation with inflation in the USSR. Many people did not even think about it, because the same utility tariffs have not changed for decades. “This happened for the simple reason that the Soviet economy was not closely tied to the dollar, at least not to the extent that it is now. Currently, our country is inscribed in the global economy, and everything that happens in the United States or Europe affects the ruble exchange rate, inflation rate, government balance, etc., ”Deev says.

How does the export of inflation from the US to other countries, including Russia, take place? There is a dollar printing press in the USA. Therefore, when the crisis came due to a lockdown into a pandemic, the American authorities decided to distribute money to the right and left to the population in order to keep the economy afloat. Moreover, this is easy to do - just run the printing press at full capacity. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the United States has spent $ 6 trillion to $ 9 trillion on anti-crisis measures. And when Joe Biden came to power, they spent another $ 2 trillion on a new social stimulus package.

“Even before 2014, the head of the Fed Ben Bernanke, nicknamed the Helicopter pilot, joked that inflation is very low, but you can always start throwing money from a helicopter to cause it to rise. In 2020, measures of direct financial support of the population in amounts sometimes exceeding the salary of the average American became the implementation of Bernanke's idea of ​​“scattering” money, ”says the head of the Department of Financial Markets of the PRUE. Plekhanov Konstantin Ordov.

Of course, the printing press is not the only way to find money to provide support to the population and businesses in times of crisis. Another way is to increase budget revenues and borrow on the global market. But the last two ways are problematic for the United States. In a crisis, the budget is already hard, and here there is also an incredible increase in expenses. Unsurprisingly, in 2020, the US budget deficit reached 16.1%, or $ 3.1 trillion. This is the maximum deficit since 1945, that is, the year the Second World War ended.

The state debt situation in the United States is generally stalemate. The country once again found itself on the verge of default. The US national debt by the end of March 2021 reached $ 28 trillion, or 101% of GDP. This means that the national debt has exceeded the size of the US economy, which, by the way, is the world's largest economy. A similar thing happened once in the history of the United States - after the Second World War, in 1946, the ratio was 106%. A repetition was expected only after ten years, and the United States has borrowed so much now. Now the country is on the verge of default, because by law it is no longer possible to borrow. However, no one believes in the reality of default - the Americans, as always, will raise the ceiling on borrowings with a new stroke of the pen, and everyone in the world will breathe freely.

That is why the American authorities are so active and took up the printing press. Moreover, they have an excellent opportunity to export some of the inflation outside their own country. Although, of course, within the United States, inflation is not the target 2%, but 5%, but this is nothing compared to the inflation that could have been if it were not possible to export it.

What is inflation export? “The mechanism is that the more the US and other developed countries print money, and their currencies are included in the list of reserve currencies of the world, the lower the purchasing power of other currencies, such as the ruble. Emerging markets suffer more than developed ones, because inflation is growing in large volumes, imports are becoming more expensive, ”says Deev.

When the United States printed a lot of dollars that were not provided with the production of real goods, inflation in the country increased, and the prices for goods rose. They sell their products at higher prices. Printed dollars are spreading around the world through stock exchanges, through American purchases of imported goods, and so on.

“Indirectly, the printing of money and, as a result, the inflation of bubbles in the market for oil, metals, grains and other goods leads to higher prices in all countries, including the United States itself,” says Maxim Shein, chief investment strategist at BCS World of Investments. ...

When commodity prices rise, for example, it becomes much more profitable for Russian exporters of oil, metal and grain to export their products. This creates a shortage of goods within the country and leads to a market price increase. Hence the attempts of the Russian authorities to restrain the rise in prices by introducing temporary restrictions on the export of one or another product. Of course, sometimes point factors are also superimposed, which lead to a sharp rise in prices for specific products. For example, these are weather factors - crop failure.

“In addition, if imported goods act as raw materials or components for the production of domestic products, inflation in world markets leads to an increase in production costs and, ultimately, the price of products. It is extremely difficult to fight the export of inflation - as long-term measures, localization of production is being implemented, increasing the competitiveness of domestic products, ”says the associate professor of the Department of Economic Theory of the PRUE. Plekhanov, Ph.D. Alexander Krasilnikov.

“Even looking inflation in the eye, the US government continues to play the fool by maintaining budget deficits and unsecured emissions. To live within one's means is a great responsibility, which, of course, does not seduce the overseas revelers who have gone on a spree. But this cannot and will not last long. The only frightening thing is that the whole world is in the same financial boat, so a financial "hangover" threatens everyone, and it is worth preparing for this right now, "concludes Ordov.

“They will not stop printing money, since the United States and other countries have no other ways to restore the economy. Inflation on a global scale will continue to grow", says Deev. Nobody can do anything about it. Because the current global economic system is largely tied to the dollar. “Roughly speaking, from the moment the United States turned the dollar into its main commodity, states became dependent on the financial and economic policies of the States. And the United States simply has an exceptional opportunity to develop its economy by selling its debt obligations to the whole world. States live in debt to the whole world, knowing that they will never pay off. And all existing problems, including inflationary ones, are solved at the expense of others, including Russia, ”Deev says.

Therefore, there is talk about the US monopoly and the need to destroy it. The share of the dollar in world trade and in world reserves is declining, but this is happening extremely slowly. Abrupt steps are too dangerous for everyone. Russia, due to sanctions pressure, hastened the process of abandoning the dollar: Moscow has already refused to lend to the United States and has abandoned the dollar in its reserves.

Thursday’s report offers "more evidence that stimulus provided surprisingly little bang for its buck, with the economy quickly pushing against unexpected supply constraints instead, which have driven inflation higher," said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

Businesses have since the economy reopened navigated supply-chain issues caused by factories shutting down to help slow the spread of COVID-19. They have also struggled to find workers as extended unemployment benefits have encouraged many to stay home.

The issues have combined to lift core personal consumption expenditures, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure, to 3.4% annual growth, the fastest since 1992.

Looking ahead, economists worry that headwinds to the economy remain.

"Supply chains are far from getting back to normal, and the story of the COVID-19 pandemic, including variants, is far from being finalized," said Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst at Bankrate.
