Steve Cortes, president of the League of American Workers, said Vice President Kamala Harris has prioritized illegal aliens over Michigan citizens after a recent report that illegal crossing were temporarily halted by Biden to improve Harris' campaign. 

“Kamala Harris continues to prioritize foreign nationals over the American citizens of Michigan," Cortes told Great Lakes Wire. “Is anyone surprised that Kamala and Joe Biden would temporarily stall the human tsunami of illegal migrants, in a crass attempt to slow that chaotic flow, to try to win the election?”

Todd Bensman, senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, told the The Michael Patrick Leahy Show that he found the Mexican government is holding between 300,000-400,000 migrants in Southern Mexico as part of a deal with the Biden-Harris administration.

"We were having 14,000 a day crossing our U.S. border and the media was down there covering that and it was driving the polls down," said Bensen. "Democrats were looking terrible for the election. In December, they came down and they wanted to get the numbers of border crossers lower at our border for the election campaign so it didn’t look so bad.” Bensman said during the episode. 

"Once Biden, Blinkin, and Mayorkas came down here and cut this deal, those numbers dropped from 14,000 a day to 3,000 a day," said Bensen during the episode. "Now they're out there campaigning, saying 'what border crisis? there's nobody crossing.'"

Bensman predicted that the deal in place to hold the migrants in Mexico will end "the day after" the election and the migrants will have the "green light" to proceed north into the United States. 

During fiscal year 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has arrested 45,402 illegal aliens who have previous criminal convictions or who are wanted by law enforcement. 

The CBP has reported more than 2.7 million illegal alien encounters during Fiscal Year 2024, while there were only 646,822 in Fiscal Year 2020.

"This is what Kamala's and Slotkin's “vetting” of migrants has done to our communities," GOP U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers told the Great Lakes Wire in October. "Over 400,000 convicted criminals let loose on our streets. We will secure the border on Day One!"
