Friday a Border Patrol horse unit apprehended 80 illegal immigrants east of Douglas. (U.S. Border Patrol)

The Herald now has a comments section for their articles, if you wish to participate.

The numbers of illegals apprehended appear to be going up instead of down, as we were being told a couple of months ago... The big bust here took place a few miles East of Roger Barnett's ranch.

There are so many comments to make about this article, where to begin? 3 months ago the DHS pointed to a reduction in apprehensions as a sign that they were getting the border under control. Now that the numbers have gone up (including more repeat felons) what do they have to say? Silence...

The BP used horses to round up these illegals, and that’s good, why, they’ve had horse patrols for more than a century. So, why was it bad for Roger Barnett to have a dog with him when he detained illegals? Hmmm???

And then there’s the gang affiliations...it’s still pretty bad down here in Cochise County.

You guys still haven't learned how this works, at least here in Crook County.

If you're an illegal alien but you have multiple prior violent felonies, it cancels out!

When you add known gang affiliations it gets tricky, but THOSE are canceled out by a combination of DUIs and rape of underage girls.

Even-steven. Catch and release.

God forbid if Johnny Suttion is appointed to prosecute the illegals !!!!!! The AGENTS WHO ARRESTED THEM are sure to go to Federal prison.

The apprehensions show “more people coming in (to the United States) to cause havoc,” said Border Patrol Tucson Sector spokesman Mario Escalante.

Considering illegal invaders have been wrecking havoc in the US for decades, it is the "note" of more coming to cause havoc that is vomit-worthy.
