Quote:A caravan-size influx of migrants is flooding across the border each week in just a single sector, a top Border Patrol official told lawmakers Tuesday -- the latest indicator of the growing migration crisis on the southern border.

“Much media attention has focused on caravans coming across from Central America,” Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Patrol Agent Rodolfo Karisch said at a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing. “But the fact is that RGV is receiving caravan-equivalent numbers every seven days.”

Karisch said his sector has apprehended people from 50 different countries, including China, Bangladesh, Turkey, Egypt and Romania.

“People are traveling across hemispheres to attempt to illegally enter the U.S., using the same pathways as the Central Americans,” he said.

Karisch noted that Border Patrol has apprehended more families illegally crossing the border in the first five months of fiscal 2019 than during all of fiscal 2018. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) apprehended more than 76,000 migrants across the border in February and said it was on track to apprehend more than 100,000 in March.

In the Rio Grande Valley alone, Karisch said that at current pace, they would have more than 260,000 apprehensions in his sector by the end of fiscal 2019. There were 162,000 in RGV last year. He also said that his agents apprehend, on average, 1,000 people a day.

Quote:“This is not a manufactured crisis created by those of us who live and work in the border area. Border Patrol continues to apprehend record numbers of people who purposely violate U.S. immigration laws, we are taken advantage of by gaps in our legal frameworks and that undermine the rule of laws.”

The word is out, invade now. There isn’t room to house everyone, the 9th curcuit just ruled we can’t force them to stay in Mexico, and the dems refuse to change the laws unless they get mass amnesty, so catch & release is the only choice. Once you are released, you disappear into the interior of the country. It’s a scam.

The dems are the enemy of the people.

It IS an invasion. If the demmies and their sycophants in the 9th won't stop it, this should.

And people were faux moaning about the firing of Nielsen.

I'd love to know what the 9th jercut has as an alternative, but one thing is becoming abundantly clear-

Fransicko NaN is content with doing nothing, yet again. Time for a clean sweep and more R senators as well, clearly the dims can't govern.

Curious, if Obama was still president, wouldn't this be his fault? Or perhaps, you probably believe it still is his fault today.

Neither.

It's the fault of the stupid laws currently in place and our feckless, wreckless, activist judges.

Hopefully we all know where laws need to come from and who needs to act here. And they refuse to do so.

I thought whataboutism was frowned upon in this forum?
