The crisis along the Mexican border continues full throttle in the new fiscal year with one Border Patrol sector encountering tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from dozens of countries—including Africa and the Middle East—in the first month.

In October alone, the first month of fiscal year 2022, the Border Patrol’s Del Rio Sector in Texas reported 28,111 illegal aliens from more than 50 countries. They include Syria, Lebanon, Eritrea, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, a central Asian nation that borders Afghanistan, which is controlled by the Taliban after the abrupt exit of U.S. troops earlier this year.
