Coincidence? Over 4000 Russian were caught trying to take advantage of our border crisis. They traveled across the pacific to get here, which costs a pretty penny, that not everyone can afford it. So the question is why did they come here?
“About 4,100 Russian nationals were stopped at the U.S. southern border in the 2021 fiscal year, up from fewer than 500 the year before in the 2020 fiscal year.
Those 4,100 Russian nationals were among 1.7 million people that U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents encountered at the border this past year, according to CBP data released last month.
Of the 4,100 Russians stopped at the border, more than 1,400 were stopped in October alone.
Those Russian nationals came to the U.S. southern border amid a shifting balance in who is coming to the border.”
“They seem to be coming primarily to take advantage of a better economic situation in the United States,” retired federal immigration judge Andrew Arthur told the Washington Examiner.
Arthur, who is a resident fellow in law and policy for the conservative Center for Immigration Studies, also said migrants are taking advantage of relaxed immigration policies since President Joe Biden took office.
“People view this as the time to come to the United States,” Arthur said. “The Biden administration undid many of the policies that President Trump had. … They really haven’t substituted those for any that would impede people from coming to the United States.”
The assumption is that they came here for jobs, and hopefully, that’s all they were coming here for. But there is no telling as to how true that is and how many Russian were able to make it past our overburdened border security. It’s just odd how that lines up. We may very well be in conflict with Russia soon over Ukraine and Russians appear at our border.
