Steve Cortes, president of the League of American Workers, said Vice President Kamala Harris has prioritized illegal aliens over Georgia citizens after a recent report that illegal crossing were temporarily halted by Biden to improve Harris' campaign. 

“Kamala Harris continues to prioritize foreign nationals over the American citizens of Georgia," Cortes told Peach Tree Times. “Is anyone surprised that Kamala and Joe Biden would temporarily stall the human tsunami of illegal migrants, in a crass attempt to slow that chaotic flow, to try to win the election?”

Todd Bensman, senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, told the The Michael Patrick Leahy Show that he found the Mexican government is holding between 300,000-400,000 migrants in Southern Mexico as part of a deal with the Biden-Harris administration.

"We were having 14,000 a day crossing our U.S. border and the media was down there covering that and it was driving the polls down," said Bensen. "Democrats were looking terrible for the election. In December, they came down and they wanted to get the numbers of border crossers lower at our border for the election campaign so it didn’t look so bad.” Bensman said during the episode. 

"Once Biden, Blinkin, and Mayorkas came down here and cut this deal, those numbers dropped from 14,000 a day to 3,000 a day," said Bensen during the episode. "Now they're out there campaigning, saying 'what border crisis? there's nobody crossing.'"

Bensman predicted that the deal in place to hold the migrants in Mexico will end "the day after" the election and the migrants will have the "green light" to proceed north into the United States. 

During fiscal year 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has arrested 45,402 illegal aliens who have previous criminal convictions or who are wanted by law enforcement. 

The CBP has reported more than 2.7 million illegal alien encounters during Fiscal Year 2024, while there were only 646,822 in Fiscal Year 2020.

According to a prior report from the Peach Tree Times, a study of data on criminal activity among illegal aliens released into the United States found that illegal aliens may commit murder at rates 50% higher than the U.S. population. This was attributed in large part to "a broken and overwhelmed immigration system," in which a lack of proper vetting has led to the release of "individuals with dangerous criminal histories."
