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“

I keep seeing FR posts saying the US military can’t fire upon unarmed people. Why the heck not? Defense of the country.
The women and children will be pushed to the front just like ISIS does. If they get shot, it’s their own fault. Bottom line, this is war. The military needs to defend the country. If that involves killing them, then so be it. There are 7000 today. How many next week and the week after?
the minutemen tried that, and were vilified by Bush. and even here.
but Trump would back us. i still proudly carry my card in my wallet
that many will look like an invasion to Americans, not refugees
the Migrant caravan might be a diversion. Who know what bad characters are coming in while attention is focused on the parade.
military age men carrying their country’s flag coming to our country illegally - that’s an invasion
we need both. everify with employers prison sentences
but a wall will stop the flood
it’s a good rant! we escaped california because of exactly what you said
I was just thinking about the Minutemen, earlier, this morning.
What ever happened to them? I used to get emails, for years. Now, nothing.
lots of controversy, according to the media. i took it with a grain of salt!
we need to stop the invasion in Mexico We need to occupy Hondouras and convert the whole occupied zone into an illegal alien containment zone
The Hondouran government must be deposed and the officers imprisoned
All captured illegals must be transported to the containment zone where courts established can ajudicate their claims.
No, what we need RIGHT now is for PDJT to mobilize the military. This is an invasion
I am all for that. I spent 12 years down on the border with one patriot group or another. Even ran dogs for the BP and CSO. I am ready to roll again.
BP's estimate is that they only catch 8-10% of all illegal invaders that cross our borders
This should make getting the wall a lot easier...a national emergency. This is a live demonstration on why the wall must be funded immediately.
That number is just ONE SECTOR. It’s long past time Congress wakes up to the fact this is war.
Those sound cannons that make you need to use the bathroom.
“Over 12,700 illegal alien arrests in past 3 weeks. Nearly 800 pounds of marijuana & almost 70 pounds of peyote just yesterday...”
If these INVADERS voted Republican, the Dems would’ve built a wall 50 years ago, plus a mote filled with gators!
I’m sure PDJT will make hay out of these Tweets, today!
“I wonder if Democrats realize what they’ve unleashed?”
According to Pelosi, Americans are just, ‘Collateral Damage.’
Crush the Dems to DUST November 6th! Let’s get on with MAGA WITHOUT them!
Just remember this could all be stopped now. PrMerite has some rifles to site and we got a border to secure - this looks like a win win.
The reasons president Trump went wire to wire as political neophyte are all embedded in the immigration issue. America first! - don't tread on me
Give the illegals the peyote and pot, and that’ll quiet them down ‘til the cavalry gets there.
