Well written and misses some very important points.

Here in Colorado, every home depot has a line of immigrants hoping for day work - just like you see in Mexico City. Standing out in the freezing cold.

A gang 2 weeks ago in Aurora was busted kidnapping victims. Tied up the occupants and were torturing one victim by removing their fingernails. See: https://kdvr.com/news/local/aurora-police-seek-charges-for-11-suspects-in-armed-kidnapping-home-invasion/

One hospital chain is going bankrupt soon see: https://wpde.com/news/nation-world/denver-hospital-system-may-collapse-due-to-migrant-crisis-we-are-turning-down-patients-southern-border-trump-biden-colorado-denver-health-post-donna-lynne-immigrants-illegal-migrants-asylum-seekers-resources

This is not border chaos, this is after the border. Also missing from this article were the homeland security flights from inside of Mexico to relieve the surge at the border. Not sure if this is considered a border crossing in your numbers. See: https://homeland.house.gov/2024/04/30/new-documents-reveal-airports-used-by-secretary-mayorkas-to-fly-hundreds-of-thousands-of-inadmissible-aliens-into-u-s-via-chnv-mass-parole-scheme/

Need to vet immigrants and not fly them in from inside of Mexico at the taxpayers expense. Need much better policies regarding who is allowed in.
