Border Crisis Comes to Remote West Texas 'There's no one watching', a smuggler says ([link removed])
Ojinaga, Mexico (April 27, 2021) – The Center for Immigration Studies traveled to the Big Bend Sector of the U.S.-Mexico border, which covers 517 miles of international boundary, to view illegal immigration there firsthand. This part of West Texas saw illegal-alien apprehensions jump 365 percent, and unlike sectors further south, almost all are single adults, not family units or unaccompanied minors.

Todd Bensman, the Center’s Senior National Security Fellow, said, “Big Bend is largely defenseless in this crisis, and there appears to be no help coming from Washington, D.C. Without more resources or changes in policies, the illegal immigrants will just keep coming and will continue to get through. Eighteen-wheeler tractor-trailer rigs just pull up to the border and unload people and drug cargo in broad daylight. Border Patrol agents estimate that 70 to 80 percent of those coming across are not caught.”
