SAN BERNARDINO (Reuters) - A surge in migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border has pushed immigration detention facilities in California to capacity, forcing U.S. Border Patrol to release many at bus stations in the state for the first time, the agency said on Monday.
U.S. Border Patrol in the El Centro area of southern California said it began to drop migrants off at San Bernardino’s Greyhound Station on Wednesday after it ran out of room to hold them....
...Apprehensions of migrant families in California’s El Centro sector rose 383 percent in the seven months through April from a year earlier …
...From October 2018 through this April, nearly 293,000 unaccompanied children or people traveling in families were apprehended at the southern U.S. border - nearly four times the number during the same period the prior year.
The influx of families has swamped U.S. Border Patrol stations built to house single adults, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has run out of space to hold them.

Cities with a population around 300,000 include: Lexington, KY; Stockton, CA; St. Louis, MO; St. Paul, MN; Pittsburg, PA; Cincinnati, OH; Anchorage, AK; Plano, TX; Greensboro, NC; Newark, NJ; and Orlando, FL
what do you do with a population influx equal to that of every man woman and child in Orlando, Pittsburg and Anchorage combined, that needs, every month, the very same facilities, but with extended services above those used by those existing cities now?

Is there a way that the President can declare war on every country south of the border and then just start dropping JDAMS on all their government buildings?
Camps -
What happened to all those FEMA camps?
Remember the ones Alex Jones was always going on about?
Those camps?
Around Y2K time frame.
There should be NO influx. Secure the damn border. Give some of these invaders dirt naps and things will change.
Solution.... CLOSE THE BORDER !!!!!!!!
Houston,we gotta problem. The only way this will stop is when they come to dump these bodies off in your town,welcome them with armed protest.
Do they (we) buy them a ticket to somewhere or just give them cash money to where they want?
So much for building a wall and have Mexico pay for it.
Pelosi’s house was full ???
Ask Germany about that...
They bussed in moslem “migrants” to small villages with less citizens than the number of “guests”...
Who said that? /s
Just what the hell is the border patrol doing?Sending these parasites into the country at our expense.
Why are they not sending them back across that southern border?It defeats the reason for having a border patrol.
I’m getting very concerned where this situation is headed.Since I hear all these positive things occurring as stated by the President.
I’m just not thrilled with where this country is going.
Sheriff Joe built whole prisons out of tents.
We have a lot of empty space around those stations.
But the testicular thing would be to send them right back to Mexico.
Global warming globalists pope.........open the Vatican since you care so much
More immigrants than ever in fact. The left and the folks who would love to end America are winning.
Hey, there is some cool kabuki immigration reform that sounds tough on the way.
Doesn’t the political rhetoric make you see, the prez is helpless. But he is trying ;)
Flinching on the kabuki shutdown was a mistake. I would say this is 1986 all over again, but it’s much much worse.
“what do you do with a population influx equal to that of every man woman and child in Orlando, Pittsburg and Anchorage combined, that needs, every month, the very same facilities, but with extended services above those used by those existing cities now? “
You send them all to progressive San Francisco. They said they wanted them, they can have them.
That makes two of us. ‘You know, the one thing most American citizens don’t seem to grasp is the fact that the President is not your personal leader, nor are US senators your representation in Congress... the only representation you have in Congress is your home district congressman.
There are 435 representatives who control the purse strings, and every bill is supposed to originate in the House of Representatives. Practically every law in the country started there, was approved of by the Senate, and signed into law by the President at the time of it’s enaction.
Congress (in the past) has effectively tied the hands of the Executive on precisely what actions can be taken when dealing with illegal immigrants, IE... if the illegal sets foot on our soil, AND requests asylum, he/she must be given the opportunity to have their hearing. Furthermore, since there aren’t enough judges to handle the situation, Congress has forbidden, through law, the returning of them to Mexico or anywhere else, AND they can only be held for 20 days, and then released.
So, you have to catch them, confine them, then you have to release them, you have to trust that they’ll return for their hearing, you have to provide for their welfare while they’re here by expending our treasure, but you can’t just kill them... THIS IS THE LAW! So, what to do...
Trump had nothing to do with making the laws. Having said that, apparently the law doesn’t say they can’t be shipped to demonRATic bastions that champion the causes of the illegals. The demonRATs envisioned placing them in Republican strongholds to dillute the political landscapes and ensure that demonRATic voter trends would keep RATS in office indefinitly... robbing Peter to pay Paul as it were. I don’t think the RATS ever envisioned having to deal with and clean up after the illegals in their own backyards.
I’ve said for years that if you want to stop all of this nonsense, put the illegals in subsidized encampments in view of the Hamptons, near the Kennedy compounds, DC, in fact anywhere the beautiful, rich and powerful people live... ‘you know... the trendy tourism locales in the demonRAT liberal meccas.
It appears Trump’s people may have been listening after all.
Demographics is destiny and America’s destiny is a very dark one. We defended Afghanistan,Iraq and Syria better than we are defending the USA!!!!
