Former President Donald Trump is sounding the alarm about the surge of migrants arriving at our beloved United States-Mexico border. He recently held a press conference where he criticized President Biden for his lack of border control, shouting to anyone who would listen that our borders are like a leaky faucet – dripping with people from “places unknown” and speaking languages that “we haven’t even heard of.” Hold onto your hats, folks, because according to Trump, some of these folks might not be the friendly neighbors we’d hoped for but could be terrorist baddies!
In a jaw-dropping revelation, the latest info from the Department of Homeland Security confirms that the diversity in migrants is becoming broader than your grandpa’s storytelling. Andrew Arthur from the Center for Immigration Studies has looked at the numbers and found that the faces showing up at the border are from Africa, China, Eastern Europe, India, Russia, Southeast Asia, and Turkey. That’s like a world tour without needing your passport! Are we expecting to see the Eiffel Tower pop up next?

The data shows that through the first seven months of the year, over 1.5 million eager beavers tried to hop the border, with almost half of them not being from Mexico or the usual suspects in Central America. We’re talking about thousands of individuals from China, India, Russia, and even a handful from Turkey. But wait, there’s more – there’s a mysterious group simply labeled as “Other” with folks from all corners of the globe, including those stealthy Europeans who aren’t your typical French or German tourists.
Back in the good ol’ days of Trump’s presidency, the majority of border crossers hailed from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. But now, under Biden’s watch, it’s like a global party at the border, and Trump is worried that our country is slipping through our fingers like sand in a sandbox. He’s not mincing words – Trump says we need to close those borders before it’s too late.
So, folks, grab your map, check your compass, and hold on tight because it seems like the United States is the hottest vacation destination for migrants from all walks of life. Will we see penguins from Antarctica next? Stay tuned as the drama at the border unfolds, and let’s hope our leaders can figure out a solution before we have a United Nations reunion at our front door.
