Texas Border Patrol Chief Begs For Help as Over 12,000 Illegals Caught in Last Three Weeks (tr)

Thousands of illegal aliens are swarming the Texas border this month in advance of the migrant caravan marching through Mexico, prompting Chief Patrol Agent Manuel Padilla, Jr., the Customs and Border Patrol Sector Chief of the Rio Grande Valley, to beg for help dealing with the onslaught of illegal aliens, gang members and drug cartel smugglers. Just on Saturday over 700 illegal aliens were caught, with over 12,000 caught in the past three weeks. In addition, safe houses have been busted and drug smugglers intercepted by the overstretched CBP in the Rio Grande Valley.

16,000 “family units” were reported caught in the last month in the RGV sector by CBP. All these illegals take manpower and resources to detain, process, house, clothe, feed, and give medical treatment.

Padilla sent out several tweets this weekend with the message, “We need #personnel #technology #infrastructure“, in conjunction with video reports by on scene Fox News Channel reporter Griff Jenkins. “Another busy day with @GriffJenkins in #RGV South Texas. Over 12,700 illegal alien arrests in past 3 weeks. nearly 800 pounds of marijuana & almost 70 pounds of peyote just yesterday We need #personnel #technology #infrastructure #HonorFirst“…”Our #BorderPatrol Agents face challenges daily while focusing on our #BorderSecurity mission and our #HumanitarianEfforts #RGV South Texas is in need of #personnel #technology & #infrastructure for both mission sets #HonorFirst @GriffJenkins @FoxNews #DayInTheLife“

Firehose. Ammo to be used to deter, and also to nail anyone who gets past the firehose.

I wonder if Democrats realize what they’ve unleashed?

The left's goal is to cause a humanitarian crisis at the US border. The courts will settle the rest unfortunately. Every effort to handle the illegal immigration aspect will be met with court battles. The real humanitarian crisis of the use of the people in the caravan that is happening now is tolerated by the media for the greater purpose that is to play out later.

Roughly twenty/thirty pastors were contacted to stand in the gap against the sodomites and their enablers at the first ‘Tri-Pride’ festival here in Johnson City. Think ANY showed up??? Naaaaaah...’but I found none’, indeed.

In 1916 a DEMOCRAT president name Woodrow
Wilson put 75,000 National Guardsmen on the border, then sent
Blackjack Pershing into Mexico to deal with Poncho Villa. Trump will not allow an invasion to this country. Ain’t happening. Its a George Soros funded invasion. Soon Thomas Jefferson will be smiling in his grave because he founded the National Guard to protect the borders of the United States, not some shit hole in the Middle East.

Roughly 30,000 are apprehended on the southern border EVERY month. A small cities worth of population, month after month after month after month.

355,106 have been caught this year alone.

That of course doesn't take into account those that are not caught.

https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration

We were told for years that there were 11 million foreign nationals in our country unlawfully. It was a lie.

Yale, MIT study: 22 million, not 11 million, undocumented immigrants in US

And that, undoubtedly, is under estimated as well.

That's more people than the ENTIRE state of Florida, and darn near as many as the whole state of Texas!

There is a daily, continual, invasion of our country and until Trump came along and actually made it a front and center issue, nobody at the national political level gave a damn, especially congress.

Our congress must be forced to put an end to this insanity. Maximum pressure until they finally do the right thing and protect our sovereignty and rule of law.

About 10 years ago, the Pew Foundation did a detailed survey that concluded that over 70 million illegals were in our country at that time and possibly many more.

Exactly. Why is Trump waiting? Deploy the military now and stop this invasion! Our enemies came up with a brilliant idea. Don’t attack the US with armies and weapons, but send a bunch of men along with some women and kids and call them refugees or migrants.

I called both my Senators...and a couple Congress Critters...and ranted.

But I was talking to 20 yr. olds....that have no idea what a "NO GO ZONE" is....or what has happened to Calif.

One said she had kinda heard of No Go Zones....but didn't know they existed in the USA.

One had no idea who MS-13 was....

We are doomed...........

Maybe a good war will clean out the dimbulbs. Something in the Balkans that’ll just eat up snowflakes, who’ll enthusiastically support it.

Wow that is sad and infuriating. People have no idea what’s at stake.

How could they with the MSM deliberately keeping people in the dark. With the universities programming people not to think, just repeat bromides and assault anyone who disagrees.

Trump is the Obiwan, but Obiwan is the only hope to the extent that the Luke Skywalkers that he discovers and trains before he’s cut down have a chance to thrive. When the blue wave is wiped out by the red tsunami, the next thing they try will be to cut him down. If they succeed, then it’s up to the young jedi to carry three more sequels. Hope they don’t succeed.

Good point. The media lies by omission. Love the Obiwan Kenobi comparison.

Thinking about what you said. If there is an influx of immigrants for the election or for whatever reason. They will need a place to stay. I'm checking Inn's in my area how booked they are. "Starlight Inn Canoga Park" two rooms left. What is normal I don't know.

I notice some on the boarders are near capacity. such as: "Best Western Americana Inn" three available. Or "Best Western Plus Main Street Inn" in Rockwood CA no vacancy. Or "The Imperial Palms Hotel & Resort" 4 or 5 rooms left.
