Glad this weather is okay.

When we talked to Coach Art this week, he said ohhh it's supposed to be cold, but no bad weather. Y'all see this weather.
What we saw in Denver this week is only the beginning! The Washington post reported & showed documentation from November 4th notifying the Broncos of the illegality of Wilson’s potential benching. Yet, they still did it. Thing is, that doesn’t even scratch the surface of how Wilson was treated by the head coach & ownership.
Oh dear Lord. I guess we are gonna have to spring for the NFL package next year as I’d rather be watching the Dolphins OR the 49ers instead of my cities home team. That’s just the facts, folks. Wish it weren’t true!!
Based on their mayors' comments, it's clear the migrant & human trafficking crisis is becoming an economic risk to NYC, Chicago and some other major cities.
If you were wondering about why it is finally gaining more attention, it's because the numbers are large and getting larger, and city budgets are being strained, risking city services for those most in need.
Here are southwest border stats from @CBP. All public data.
Every one of these is a human life who just wants something better for themselves and their families.
Keep in mind many are paying tens of thousands of dollars to human smugglers just to get to the border. It is a multi-billion dollar business.
Apprehensions / Encounters by fiscal year:
2015: 444,859
2016: 553,378
2017: 415,517
2018: 521,090
2019: 977,509
2020: 400,651 (covid)
2021: 1.77 milion
2022: 2.37 million
2023: 2.47 million
2024 pace: 2.8-3.0 million
FY2024 is already underway with an average of 240,000+ encounters per month.
At some point soon we may have as many encounters in a month as we did in a full year not that long ago.
Wait time for first asylum hearings are now likely 5+ years out. So these lives are on hold with nowhere to eat or sleep for nearly half a decade.
Note: Gov't changed terminology from "apprehension" to "encounters" and encounters can also include removals (which are low) but thus numbers are not exactly analogous.
