More than half of all Americans believe the United States is facing an invasion at the southern border, according to a recent survey from NPR.

According to the poll, 54 percent of Americans, including 40 percent of Democrats, say it is “completely true” or “somewhat true” that the border crisis is an “invasion.” Nearly three-quarters, 73 percent, of respondents said they believe the “large number of migrants apprehended at the southern border is a problem.”

The results come as the United States sees the largest influx of illegal immigrants in history. More than 1.8 million migrants have been apprehended by Border Patrol on the southern border since October 2021, a new annual record. The previous record was held by the 2021 fiscal year.

Moreover, the results demonstrate a shift in how Americans view illegal immigration as an active threat to the nation’s sovereignty as news organizations such as NPR make a concerted effort to sanitize the border crisis. The Associated Press in its style guide bars news organizations from using the term “invasion” when reporting immigration-related stories. News organizations that follow the AP style guide, or base their guides on the AP’s, include NPR and Politico.

The AP did not respond to a request for comment. (Read more from “A Majority of Americans Say the Border Crisis Is an ‘Invasion,’ Poll Says” HERE)

Border Patrol agents have apprehended several serious child sex offenders attempting to illegally enter the United States in recent months, including an illegal immigrant who was previously convicted of raping a child under the age of four.

Miguel Vargas Mendoza, 33, was arrested by agents in Yuma, Arizona, on Tuesday after attempting to cross the border illegally. Fox News reports that Mendoza, a Mexican national, had prior convictions for drug possession and having sex with a child three years or younger, as well as willful cruelty to a child.

Fox reported that he is one of several child sex offenders who have been apprehended by Border Patrol as record levels of illegal immigration continue unabated under President Joe Biden’s policies.

In the current fiscal year, Border Patrol agents have encountered 9,381 noncitizens with criminal convictions among a record 1.82 million arrests made, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In July, there were a record 199,976 encounters, with 166,792 unique encounters. Two-thirds of those encountered were single adults, and while the numbers dipped slightly compared to June, CBP is still on track to make a record 2 million arrests by the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.

Two illegal immigrants were arrested in a mass shooting plot at the Richmond, Virginia, July Fourth celebration.

“A hero citizen picked up the phone and overheard a conversation there was a mass shooting being planned here in the city of Richmond, Virginia,” Richmond Chief of Police Gerald Smith said Wednesday.

Two illegal immigrants, 52-year-old Julio Alvarado-Dubon and 38-year-old Rolman Balacarcel, were arrested and charged with being a non-U.S. citizens in possession of a gun after police uncovered a plot that the duo planned a mass shooting at Richmond’s July 4 celebration Monday.

At a press conference Wednesday, Smith said that police investigated Alvarado-Dubon based on a tip to police by someone he would only refer to as a “hero citizen.” Police investigated the claims and found Alvarado-Dubon was in possession of two rifles, one handgun, and 223 rounds of ammunition. He was arrested on July 1, while Balacarcel was placed under surveillance and eventually arrested on the same charges on Tuesday.

“There’s no telling how many lives this citizen hero saves from one phone call,” Smith said. “One phone call saved numerous lives on the Fourth of July.” (Read more from “Illegal Aliens Arrested in July 4th Mass Shooting Plot After Tip From ‘Hero'” HERE)

Democrats and their business-backed allies are hinting they want the Republicans to okay more legal migration in exchange for keeping border barriers against illegal migration.

“I don’t think there’s any incentive for the Republicans to deal,” amid Democratic threats to lift the Title 42 border barrier against migration, responded Jessica Vaughan, the policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies.

“The Republicans know enough to insist on a clean extension of Title 42, not one encumbered with the Democrats’ wish list items,” she said, adding:

The Democrats might think that they could get something in exchange for allowing a Title 42 extension. But I think it would be a miscalculation. I don’t think it’s a good look for them to be trying to put a price on Title 42 extension when most of the public wants it extended. That would be seen as obstructing or complicating the continuation of Title 42.

Some Democratic supporters indicate they have little leverage. “Democrats are terrified that ending Title 42 enforcement will produce an all-out border crisis just in time for the midterm elections,” Democratic strategist William Galston wrote in the April 19 Wall Street Journal.
