Thousands of illegal aliens are swarming the Texas border this month in advance of the migrant caravan marching through Mexico, prompting Chief Patrol Agent Manuel Padilla, Jr., the Customs and Border Patrol Sector Chief of the Rio Grande Valley, to beg for help dealing with the onslaught of illegal aliens, gang members and drug cartel smugglers. Just on Saturday over 700 illegal aliens were caught, with over 12,000 caught in the past three weeks. In addition, safe houses have been busted and drug smugglers intercepted by the overstretched CBP in the Rio Grande Valley.
16,000 “family units” were reported caught in the last month in the RGV sector by CBP. All these illegals take manpower and resources to detain, process, house, clothe, feed, and give medical treatment.
Padilla sent out several tweets this weekend with the message, “We need #personnel #technology #infrastructure“, in conjunction with video reports by on scene Fox News Channel reporter Griff Jenkins. “Another busy day with @GriffJenkins in #RGV South Texas. Over 12,700 illegal alien arrests in past 3 weeks. nearly 800 pounds of marijuana & almost 70 pounds of peyote just yesterday We need #personnel #technology #infrastructure #HonorFirst“…”Our #BorderPatrol Agents face challenges daily while focusing on our #BorderSecurity mission and our #HumanitarianEfforts #RGV South Texas is in need of #personnel #technology & #infrastructure for both mission sets #HonorFirst @GriffJenkins @FoxNews #DayInTheLife“

Does he have a plan or NOT?!!!!
I’m just NOT seeing any resemblance of a plan and am beginning to feel the same way I did about 3 months after W. sent troops to fight the terrorists
This is a Honduran Flag
I haven’t seen on yet, not saying there were none.
I’ll bet commie Beto is crapping in his diapers over this. Couldn’t have come at a better time for Cruz.
if the invaders break through the US government, the only wave the Democrats will see is composed of two parts - Democrats & Independents joining Republicans/conservatives making tsunamis-sized waves at the ballot box and then the RED WAVE will flush them down the proverbial political toilet and help flush out the SWAMP they crawled out of.
The Republicans will be adopting The Crimson Tide as their slogan while the Democrats will be singing “Am I Blue”.
You're right - absolutely a bogus number. How long have we been hearing that? Never increases, but border crossings continue.
re: “This is a Honduran Flag”
Yeah, that’s right. The internet is a wonderful thing for researching things like that.
And YES, they are carrying the Honduran flag. Its HARD to miss ...
we need razor wire now
while we build the wall
Anyone have friends at Fort Bragg? Ask them. Someone said someone said that someone said - - -
Build the wall already!!!!
then you are not looking or choosing not to see - because FR has had many threads today and recent day or so with lotso f pictures of groups of the mob carrying honduran flags or banners. not all the same photo.
also image of them burning us flag with swastika spray painted on it.
6 years ago, I tried hard to help the Hondurans when they overthrew President Mel Zelaya for trying to change the term of office. Their constitution limited them to a single 6 year term.
Finally the congress and the court acted. They picked him up in his PJ’s in a helicopter and flew him to the border of Costa Rico and dropped him off.
smile.
I liked them. What we are seeing is not a spontaneous event. It is not being done by Hondurans. It is outside money, they are a very poor nation. And the ones I know are very good people.
MX is not like that. But the drug cartels entered Honduras and have destroyed it.
TF
Then you haven’t been looking; stop peeking at threads between your fingers.
This caravan would be an average week’s business, just in the Rio Grande Valley Sector.
500 apprehended per day is routine there (more presumably avoid capture).
What is new, is the large percentage that identify themselves as family units with children (from Central America, rather than Mexico), who are so logistically difficult to hold in confinement.
Yes we do need the wall, and we need to make jobs available to combat veterans to police it.
Electrified razor wire, behind a trench loaded with IEDs!
We NEED to get the fools in congress to revoke the amnesty bull chit so we can throw their asses out instead of detaining them for legal processing of their damn claims.
There are lots and lots of them with the current invading hoarde.
Moats with gators n snakes, piranhas ifn we can get em.
wasn’t there a cut off date for those who could be considered dreamers? so what’s with all the illegals coming with kids now, hoping for dreamers 2?
Man, I hate to say this, but in my heart of hearts, I truly believe the President would have already stationed troops on the border if he had enough allies in Congress.
I think that is the only thing staying his hand.
