Thousands of migrants have flooded through California's southern border from 73 different countries over just one week, border patrol confirmed.
According to data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection - San Diego Border Patrol Sector, agents apprehended 8,659 illegal immigrants from 73 different countries over a one-week span between Jan. 31 and Feb. 6.
In fiscal year 2021, there were only 450 Chinese migrants apprehended, in contrast to 2,176 and 24,314 in fiscal years 2022 and 2023 respectively.
Many are flying to Ecuador, where they don't need a visa, and making their trek through Latin America before reaching the U.S. southern border.

The repercussions of Biden and his administration on the border and illegals will be felt for years to come . Never imagined this would happen in America .
@TroubledIguanaConstitution3mos3MO
I knew this would happen. Democrats HATE this country and will do ANYTHING to destroy it.
Once I knew we were giving guns to cartels, I knew the Democrats wanted only one thing, to destroy this country from the inside out. By any means possible.
They support murdering babies, invasion by our enemies, sterilizing youth and ensuring families DEPEND on the government to survive.
@ConstitutionalRhinoDemocrat3mos3MO
Catching people at the border is a problem? This is our government keeping us safe.
@TroubledIguanaConstitution3mos3MO
Catch and release? That's not safe.
@RuffsLeoRepublican3mos3MO
The catching is just a smoking mirror. They are coming to our cities and breaking havoc
@9JS74J63mos3MO
I totally agree with you on this! It seems like we have been going downhill since FDR. It feels like we are headed toward Soviet style authoritarianism slowly but surely. Trust me, if we could have Barack Obama back in office for just one more term, most of these problems would fix themselves.
@9JS4L933mos3MO
Immigrants should be kept out of the united states.
@9JS3VHRRepublican3mos3MO
The immigrants are not that bad if they re not in problems and also some of them do the things better then american people
@9JSLNHX3mos3MO
I live near the boarder so this affects me deeply.
@9JS8WM4Peace and Freedom3mos3MO

@9JS7VMX3mos3MO
It shows that there is imbalance in the world, and if we have that many countries people rushing to get into our country, something is seriously wrong.
@9JSD2DZ3mos3MO
I just think it’s crazy to see how many people are trying to get into the us illegaly
@9JS9KWN3mos3MO
Illegal Migrants shouldn't just be welcomed into a foreign country and apprehension was correct.
@9JS8Q5ZPeace and Freedom3mos3MO
I think that joe biden doesnt do anything about it
@9JS8PM83mos3MO
I believe it is important to understand our own countries policies to then see how we either support or disagree with them. Based on that opinion we could then see how we would participate on global interactions.
@9JRZMXW3mos3MO
This is a shocking stat that could shed light on a fixable issue
@9JSDNHL3mos3MO
I think that there's 73 countries in 1 week.

@9JS6QJC3mos3MO
I think they need to close the border and this is horrible they all need to go back where they came from.
@9JS7PYC3mos3MO
from 73 countries is crazy in a week at that
@9JS5RC6Republican3mos3MO
I think that it is important because they/the people could be terrioust
@9JRZQ7Q3mos3MO
Migrants coming into America at such mass numbers are not good for the economy.
i think we should care for immagrants
@9JS4TCS3mos3MO
I think the border must be protected at all cost
@9JRZM243mos3MO
What did they do for them to be Apprehended?
@9JSGCNB3mos3MO
they should just leave the people and let them in so that they can also experience happiness and security
@9JS7MY83mos3MO
There should be a more efficient way to let immigrants to come here legally so they can have the freedom they want so we can have more come to America in a short amount of time. Also help them get a job and a place to live so they aren’t living on the streets.
We should help these people instead of sending them back because they came here for a reason.
@9JRZ2FS3mos3MO
We should stop all illegal immigration and block the border off.
What do they mean "apprehended". As in taken into custody? I thought California was against enforcing and immigration laws. They must be "apprehending" them so they can be flown wherever they want to go.
