Record-breaking migration is overwhelming border agencies

As the number of migrant families crossing the southwest border was again breaking records, officials said Tuesday they were building a new facility to manage them, while warning the crush is overwhelming border agents and straining facilities. More than 76,000 migrants crossed the U.S.-Mexico border last month, more than double the number from the same period last year. Most were families coming in ever-increasingly large groups — there were 70 groups of more than 100 people in the past few months, and they cross illegally in extremely rural locations with few agents and staff. There were only 13 large groups during the previous budget year, and only two the year before. The system "is well beyond capacity, and remains at the breaking point," U.S. Customs and Border Protection Kevin McAleenan said a press conference Tuesday.

And meanwhile, the GOP is joining the Democrats in their childish, delusional resolution denying that there is a border emergency. I will not forget the GOP’s behavior - no one should.

Is there any way to stop this catch and release program?? How about a policy of whenever an illegal is caught within 100 miles opf the border, remove them? - others deport??

Unless he acts, somehow and soon, this travesty is going to trash DJT's otherwise sterling legacy.

Yes, we are done. Maybe best to give North America to South Americans and we all move to the south.

All part of a plan. And we have no one in DC that cares. I’m tired of the lip service given to this disaster and yes even by Trump. Build the damn wall or shut up.

============

IMO it's too late for a wall. We need deportations like Eisenhower did with OPERATION WETBACK I & II.

Without deportations we are done, toast, over.

Where is Trump?

To: bgill; All

WHY ARE WE ALLOWING CITIZENS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
ENTER US ILLEGALLY GRANT THEM RIGHTS
THAT THEIR COUNTRY DENY US HAVING
WHEN WE ENTER THEIRS LEGALLY ???
It’s time we consider illegal entry by any person who is a non Mexican citizen illegally entering the United States through the US Mexican border a defacto Mexican citizen with limited Mexican constitutional rights subject to their laws while transiting. As well as any Mexican citizen doing so. Subject to reciprocal citizen treatment a citizen of the United States receives in Mexico through the Mexican constitution on citizenship .

Besides being unable to vote one must also be a citizen to own land and Mexico is very restrictive about granting citizenship. Because of that a US citizen besides not being able to vote,and cannot have title in their name to any land property in Mexico. And until that is changed the US and the affected state should consider making that reciprocal.prohibiting citizens of Mexico or countries with similar restrictions from doing both voting and land ownership.. .

If we had a dictator type government that may could be done. But with
a system such as ours which has three tiers that isn’t the easiest thing
to do. The President, Legislative and Judicial don’t always get along
well enough to do so.

The USA is being given away and government does not care. Those who say 2020 for Trump is a given are naive.

The Democrats will be building new DMV offices and hiring more voter registrars.

Where are we?

Our forefathers , George Washington, Patrick Henry(”Give me liberty or give me death”) , etc. put up with a lot less tyranny .

Now we have socialists/marxists who call themselves democrats inviting in an invading arming of socialist voters.
