This is… troubling.
The ongoing and apparently worsening calamity at the southern border as protected individuals like Central American women and children stream across the border is not merely a humanitarian and political crisis but a health crisis as well. While the influx of immigrants is not being curtailed, the health risks associated with that inflow are apparently being mitigated.
“It’s getting better,” said U.S. Border Patrol Council Shawn Moran in an interview with San Antonio’s WOAI. “Everyone is being screened and receiving medical care.”
That’s nice, but buried at the bottom of that report was a deeply disturbing revelation that the federal government estimates approximately 300,000 prospective illegal immigrants are currently on their way to the American border.
In fact, one source told Newsradio 1200 WOAI as many as 300,000 Central American immigrants are now ‘en route’ to the United States through Mexico, and the Department of Defense has asked military bases around the country to find 180 barracks, holding centers, and other facilities to house the flood which is not expected to stop coming any time soon.
“The numbers are still overwhelming and we are sending people everywhere just to get them processed, just due to the huge numbers,” Moran said.
This report comes on the heels of a confrontation at Murrieta, California where the federal government attempted and failed to relocate and process some of the 240,000 migrants and 52,000 unaccompanied immigrant children who have been captured crossing the border in recent months. Murrieta residents greeted a busload of illegal immigrant women and children with anti-illegal immigration protests and signs recently, forcing that bus to reroute an hour south to San Diego.
If WOAI’s report, one that has thus far not been substantiated by other outlets, turns out to be true, how many cities will react to that deluge of illegal migrants in the same way that the citizens of Murrieta did?
obama is destroying rule of law, separation of powers, and the country’s national identity.
Is there a precedent for this in history? Has there ever been a country that allowed and invasion of aliens, and then provided them with food and benefits?
This could easily be stopped by issuing a firm message saying that if you invade, you will be deported back to your country of origin.
The Repub governors (Ariz, Texas) think they risk alienating Hispanics if they become aggressive at thwarting these invaders. Might as well have Democrat governors because there’s no difference that I can see at the moment!
Indeed. It was the first time I was disappointed in anything Cruz has said or done.
His tone was not that of concern about being invaded by countless anti-American third world criminals. Cruz's repeated use of the term children was disgusting.
Who at the national level is out there to ACT to defend our Republic? I am sick to my stomach over this evil act by this traitor in chief.
Wish we had an El Fenix here. May not be healthy, but it surely looked good!
can u just imagine the cleanliness, well more like the germ party going on in their restrooms?how many use the facilities in an hour,yet no one is cleaning up after them? God, even I get grossed out when I need to use the restroom at Wal-Mart.
Where is there?
In other words, they are contemptible weak leaders who have no reverence for our beloved Constitution.
History will also list them as failures for allowing the will destruction of our Republic.
We need Warriors for Liberty, not political wimps like Perry, Brewer and others.
That would still be fine, if he was incensed over how the “CHILLUN” are getting treated by those who are sending them and those who are attracting them.
It is a deadly, disappointing prank played on kids and it is not funny.

It looks like Cruz is concerned about other things. I hope this is simply a slip-up. All mortals slip up from time to time.
It’s taking an awfully long time for most FReepers to accept that the GOP is not what its party platform claims it is.
I hope you are right. I pray Cruz comes out strong against this invasion.
It was, to be fair, an invited invasion.
wait till the average day is 115 out there.then those kids are really going to be in for it if they are already sick.
They mean “another 300,000”
Considering that they have come from well south of there, maybe the biggest problem is those who have perished in Mexico.
..and our response?????????
Can u even imagine a Leader?....General?...Commander?..Squad Leader?..even a new Private.... NOT respoding to PREVENT IT as opposed to spending your valuable time and effort on trying to report on how many are about to over run you!!!!!!
its insane!...and begs the questions!!
How about we just “deport” one for every new one that comes up?
To Montezuma again???
Even Bush would have been doing something more vigorous than this. But again Bush wouldn’t have invited this army of kidz in the first place.
