Document dumps are revealing previous enforcement reversals amid increasing crossing numbers and growing cartel profits during the last 10 days.
The border with Mexico has become an open invitation to chaos.
The latest reports from the Customs and Border Protection detail an ongoing increase in border encounters that leaves both surrounding communities vulnerable and the same partisan news outlets providing false narratives claiming border management is proceeding in an orderly manner while emphasizing humane priorities.
Cartels are continuing to transport goods and people across the open areas of the border, local residents are facing increased threats on a daily basis, and those news outlets that downplayed the number of fatalities related to border issues are now attacking any efforts to present factual information regarding the policies behind those numbers.
This represents a direct confrontation of facts that are associated with an increase in crime throughout America and resource strains.
A combination of Rapid Response 47 and the release of documents from the administration shows that waiting for the distortions to subside is only giving more opportunities to those engaged in selective reporting to shape their own agendas.
Each successive group of operational log entries undermine this strategy; as there are already reports coming from multiple sources indicating that there could be an additional surge in encounters this week.
When these numbers come in and the same news outlets claim that enforcement is working effectively will audiences accept the contradiction and demand the raw logs to verify?
