A mechanic named Baba from the West African nation of Mauritania was so excited to illegally enter the United States that he threw himself on the ground and prayed. He squeezed himself through the steel fence along the Mexican border in Arizona.

‘Joe Biden opened the door for us,’ he gleefully yelled as dusk fell and the migrants waited to be picked up and processed by U.S. authorities.

‘I wanted to come here to be free. You cannot put a price on freedom,’ added Baba, one of an increasing number of migrants from several African countries who are now joining the influx along the southern border.

About 600 illegal migrants crossed into Lukeville, Arizona, most of them Africans. Mexican cartels help the illegals by cutting the steel fence for them to enter Arizona.

One major helper is Daniel Ortega, the 77-year-old long-time strongman in Nicaragua. He was a close ally of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. He is certainly a foe of the United States. He has found a loophole to make it easy for migrants. Human smugglers have a lucrative business, thanks to Ortega.

For Nicaragua is now playing an increasingly important role in the migrant crisis, allowing in people from all over the world for a $160 fee and then turning a blind eye to where they go next, DailyMail.com has learned. In fact, a regular tourist visa costs just $10, according to the U.S. Embassy there, suggesting the smugglers are getting a hefty mark-up.

Soft-touch entry requirements for nationals of a slew of African countries mean they can purchase a low-cost visa on arrival in its capital, Managua, without any proof of onward travel.

Officials turn a blind eye in Nicaragua. The smugglers are happy and the illegals are flooding into Arizona. The smugglers are brazenly advertising their services on social media platforms like TikTok. They say that entry into the United States is “guaranteed” once they arrive at the U.S.-Mexican border.

‘Come and live this experience with us,’ says one French language post. ‘Next departure is September 18, Ins’allah.’ Another read: ‘Must be financiall

On Wednesday, Governor Abbott posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the Biden administration is cutting the razor wire that Texas has installed along the border to stop illegal migrants from crossing into Texas. So, Abbott responded by deploying Texas National Guard to install more razor wire.

Not only does President Biden refuse to uphold his constitutional duty to secure our border, but he also undermines the State of Texas as we continue to do everything in our power to secure our border. Texas will NOT back down. #OperationLoneStar https://t.co/cCD8pGK1PS

Abbott also reminded everyone that he declared an invasion by illegal migrants and pointed the finger at Biden.

I officially declared an invasion at our border because of Biden's policies.

We deployed the Texas National Guard, DPS & local law enforcement.

We are building a border wall, razor wire & marine barriers.

We are also repelling migrants.

And on it goes. FNC’s reporter Bill Melugin reported all day long on Wednesday that it was a “free for all” at the Texas border in Eagle Pass. He said he had never seen such large crowds of illegals crossing at one time.

It’s a total free for all in Eagle Pass right now. Mass illegal crossing taking place for over an hour and a half. Almost 2 years to the day we saw 15,000+ Haitians under the bridge in Del Rio, we now have thousands of predominantly Venezuelans gathering under Eagle Pass bridge. pic.twitter.com/VkfUQnexGZ

What is Joe Biden and his DHS doing? They are extending and redesignating Temporary Protected Status for 18 months to Venezuelans. This will allow 472,000 Venezuelans in the US eligible to apply for work authorization.

NEW: DHS announces it is extending and redesignating Temporary Protected Status for 18 months to Venezuelans residing in the U.S. on or before July 31, 2023. DHS estimates this will immediately make 472,000 Venezuelans in the US eligible to apply for work authorization. This also…

You can’t make this stuff up. CBP is shutting down two bridges “temporarily” to deal with the surge.

NEW: CBP releases statement after mass illegal crossing of thousands into Eagle Pass, TX today. Two bridges will be temporarily shut down to redirect resources to help w/ surge. CBP promises to “maximize consequences” against those who don’t have a legal basis to be in the U.S. pic.twitter.com/yskzuj5KYZ

Feels like deja vu today.
I took the images on the left exactly two years ago to the day, as 15,000 Haitians crossed illegally into Del Rio, TX.

NEW: A 3-year-old boy sadly drowned in Eagle Pass this afternoon after he was swept away while crossing the Rio Grande with his family, @TxDPS tells me. Body recovered. Was not near the controversial TX buoys. A 10-year-old boy drowned here in Eagle Pass last week as well.

This is your regular reminder that all of the Biden border crisis is intentional. This is what they want. And, they don’t care what the consequences are. Joe Biden should be impeached for neglecting his top job requirement – to keep the homeland secure. That means secure borders. A country without borders is not a sovereign country.
