The nation has its eyes on the growing caravan crisis in Tijuana, Mexico along the San Diego southern border, but Border Patrol agents and ICE officers warn that tens of thousands of migrants have been apprehended along the other Border Patrol sectors over the past several months and thousands more may have evaded law enforcement to enter the United States illegally.
Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley have seen a surge over the past several months, roughly 5,000 migrants a week have been apprehended along the sectors more than 320 mile border, said Chris Cabrera, Vice President of the Unions local 3307 Rio Grande Vally Sector. The Rio Grande Valley sector, which is comprised of roughly 19 counties within 17,000 square miles of land is one of the most trafficked corridors along the U.S. Mexico border. Cabrera also noted that 2,700 people were being held last week at the McAllen station, which is made to hold roughly 242 people. Cabrera said issues regarding the medical condition of the migrants, as well as other security issues, have created an overwhelming situation for law enforcement and the community
There is a definite concern with the ongoing incidents across the southwest border in regards to the caravan, said Cabrera. Illegal entries have increased at most sectors along the southwest. In the Rio Grande Valley we have seen as many as 5,000 plus per week since the beginning of the fiscal year.
Cabrera says the caravan has spread out across the border from Texas to California and tells SaraACarter.com that immigration loopholes have been exploited since 2014.
The loopholes need to be closed, and those violating our laws need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. What we are seeing in California, Texas and points in between is unacceptable,

On average, 3,000 per day run across the border.
10% are apprehended.
We are losing our country.
BUILD THE WALL!
DEPORT THEM ALL!
Does the Border Patrol need a larger budget to hire more people? If so, can this begin tomorrow?
Can we bring some overseas troops back home and quickly to the border? This is a national security issue. Again, can this begin tomorrow?
The invaders must think that Obama or Bush are still President.
And Paul Ryan is Speaker...;(

It is past time from our Congress to protect the actual citizens.
Five weeks ......... is about it!
Caravan a diversion for other smuggling activities
PUT THE MILITARY ON THE COMPLETE BORDER. DHS is not effective

Didn’t our Congress pass a bill to build the wall back in 2006 or earlier? That’s a little more than five weeks.
Meanwhile, 46% of the selfie-taking, millennial maggots say America is NOT A GREAT COUNTRY. We should be able to trade the M&Ms for illegals at the border. Ten millennials for each illegal. We can make America a “better place” by getting the snowflakes the hell out of our country.
We really should shut off Mexico. Just close the border all together until Mexico decides to control their Southern border. Screw the car makers and aftermarket parts makers and the border commuters. Also stop any and all remittances to MX.
Do the same to those who've overstayed their visas. Any and all who aren't here legally, kick them out. Quadruple the size of ICE and put them all on this until every last one is out.
While all eyes are on the caravans, how many eyes are on those slipping through 20 miles down the road?
But then along came pro-choice TX RINO Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison who opened up lawsuits against the border fence which ended the building. Guess where she is now. Trump appointed her US Permanent Representative to NATO.
Evil witch. Texas GOP hates her.
Better tomorrow than January.
The only thing broken has been the refusal of previous administrations to enforce the laws and borders.
The illegal alien inundation has been intentional on the part of every administration since Bush I
