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?
I AM FUMING P.O.’D !!!! SOMEONE IN DC BETTER BE WORKING ON STOPPING THIS INVASION. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE, AND EVERYONE “WITH AUTHORITY” HAS THEIR U-NO-WHAT UP THEIR U-NO-WHAT!!!! INCLUDING MEXICO. 300,000!!!! Someone better get on the phone to Mexico and DEMAND that this trafficking be stopped or expect sanctions. BIG TIME. And our soldier still sits in a Mexican prison. This is a fu#@!#@ nightmare.
I AM TOTALLY PISSED.
MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW and WOOF
Is it about time for Texas to take over the rest of Mexico? Kill the Drug Cartels and push the illegals in the US back there?
Headshake. Texas will NOT turn BLUE, without a huge war of occupation. They don’t have a clue for the can of worms they are opening consists of.
I said a week ago that it was over. He has been using that ‘humanitarian crisis’ and ‘children’ BS since this came in the news. They pick up the left’s rhetoric easily. That’s when you know we’ve lost.
i wonder if anyone has made a call to “Body Bags R Us”.
BINGO!...and NOBODY in the MSM dares to question it or even make that comparison!!....Talk about a stealth invasion...Jeeez!
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.
Not firm enough. Message: IF YOU INVADE OR CROSS THE BORDER ILLEGALLY, YOU WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT AND YOUR BODY RETURNED TO YOUR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. PERIOD.
300,000 right now and another 300,000 on the way.... wow
hahaha bite me.
And I bet that those numbers are lowballed.
Nobody really knows how many have come through, nor how many more shall.
without a border, what will the population of the US be? That’s right. Approx. 7 billion (current Earth population)
If we can’t return the kids due to legal and humanitarian reasons, start to deport at least one adult for every kid under a certain age that we keep.
Kill the Beast. The train and all like it should stop running tomorrow due to simultaneous mechanical failures. Leave those who are in the pipeline stranded to become Mexico’s problem. During operation Kill the Beast, also free our Marine.
The ends doesn’t justify the means, but this is an undeclared war with Mexico and the cartels. Unfortunately the administration is on the wrong side.
300K illegals in transit, and counting, 30 million here, and yet we still can’t get one solitary Marine out of a stinking Mexican jail.........
“Pablo, it’s true!”
“I don’t believe it.”
“Si! The Americanos take you in once you cross the border. They give you a place to stay, good food, even medicos! And the word is, you get to stay and then you can get on the ‘gravy train’!”
“¿No s___? Pues, what are waiting for?!?”
Correction to above.
Headshake. If this illegal invasion is not reversed soon, Texas will TURN BLUE,
without a huge war of occupation.
I wish I could share your optimism. Do you expect Perry to lead this "war"?
We need Warrior governors who will call up the citizen Militia and completely seal the border (with deadly force if needed)
We need Warrior governors who will have sheriffs arrest any Federal worker(including black robe tyrants) interfering with the sealing of the border -- anything short of this our Republic is gone.
bkmk
It is insanity. Which is not what Einstein said it was but is actually the pushing of the boundaries of government overreach into the unthinkable.
