There has been a 50 percent jump in illegal immigrant gang members coming into the United States this year, according to the former Border Patrol chief.
What’s more, he warned in Senate testimony Thursday, loopholes in federal law will result in some 650,000 illegal immigrants — more than the population of Wyoming — being released into the United States, where most will “never to be heard from again.”
According to Mark Morgan, the chief of the U.S. Border Patrol from 2016-2017, the border situation is at a crisis point.

The crisis extends well beyond a single border — from Central America, through Mexico, to our southern border, and throughout every major metropolitan city in the United States,” he told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
Worse, he said that the U.S. isn't sure of the background of those coming to the country, and often loses them.
"It’s simple — they step one foot on American soil, say the magic words under 'credible fear' and within a few days they’re allowed into cities all across the U.S. What should sound additional alarms of concern is that most of the family members either lack proper identifying documentation or effective vetting of what they produce is impossible, so we know virtually nothing about who we’re letting in. Once in, they are typically never to be heard from again," he said.
His grim testimony about the border crisis was endorsed by committee Chairman Sen. Ron Johnson, who blamed Congress and not the officials at the border.
“There is a humanitarian and national security crisis at our southern border. In the first six months of this fiscal year, Border Patrol apprehended over 175,000 family unit aliens and over 33,000 unaccompanied children. According to Secretary [of Homeland Security Kirstjen] Nielsen, we are on track to reach one million apprehensions by the end of the year, the first time since the fiscal year 2006,” said Johnson.
“This crisis is not the fault of the dedicated, hardworking men and women of DHS; they have been given an impossible task. The fault rests with Congress alone. I challenge my colleagues to act. Unless you support this new reality of open borders, work with me now to address this crisis,” he added.
Morgan highlighted the current rules that result in hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, turned away years ago, gaining access to the U.S., where they hide from deportation agents.
First, he repeated concerns from the Department of Homeland Security that some 1 million immigrants are going to try to cross the U.S.-Mexico border this year.
“Currently 60%-65% of those illegally entering today are families or minors. We know because of our broken immigration laws and system, they will be released into the interior of the U.S. Therefore, as the apprehensions reach one million this year, the unconscionable result will be the release of 650,000 immigrants into the U.S. That is more than the entire population of Wyoming. Contrast that with the late 1990s, when we experienced 1 million apprehensions, yet we removed the overwhelming majority of those who crossed,” Morgan testified.
He also noted the surge in criminal gang members. He said:
“As an example, last week, three MS-13 members who were arrested in Maryland for stabbing a rival gangster and burning the body were resettled basically as refugees under the false pretenses of being brought to this country as 'unaccompanied minors.' Unfortunately, this isn’t an isolated example. Long Island and Maryland became hot spots for MS-13 activity during the surge of Central American teens in 2014. The number of teens coming in now, both individually and with families, dwarfs the 2014 numbers. The MS-13 is one of the most violent and prolific transnational gangs the U.S. as ever seen and the influx of minors into the country through the current crisis will provide them with unlimited vulnerable prospects. While Border Patrol is tied up with the humanitarian mission, the smugglers business is thriving. According to Border Patrol, 800 gang members were apprehended so far this year, a 50 percent increase from last year. Imagine what they’re not catching.”
And since a single, solitary federal low information hack has the power to countermand the will of the people and the orders of a president, POTUS can't do his job.
Add to the above the 49% of RAT members of Congress who are doing their best to flush America into the toilet of third world status.
And then, add to the above the Republican members of Congress who apparently campaigned on a conservative ticket, but only to get elected. Ryan. McConnell. Etc. Congressmen who are every bit as disloyal and treasonous as their RAT contemporaries.
I don't think Trump had any inkling how deep the treason is. And I wouldn't be surprised if, in 2020, he pulled a LBJ: "I will not accept my party's nomination .."
I sure wouldn't. I'd take my billions and my family and live out the remainder of my life in peace.
That's the flip side of the coin.
Well look at it this way. For the Democrats it’s a faster way of replacing those that #Walkaway
OK, gracias.
Look at California. They ARE over. It’s a feudal state. Ultrarich, debauched leftist Whites and a slave class of illegals. The middle class, which brought political and cultural stability until the 1990s, have fled the state. Eventually, the illegals will overthrow their masters. The stupidity of these leftists is that they believe they can control them.
De nada.
It’s not him.
It’s everyone but him.
In all fairness to president Trump (we do want to at least give the impression of fairness, don’t we?), everything he does is met with virulent resistance. I’ve lost count of the number of actions he’s taken to stem the flow of messyco’s unwashed and unwanted, only to be countermanded by a solitary low level o’bummer appointee sitting on a federal bench.

You are exactly right, and well stated..thank you.
This country doesn’t deserve a patriot like Donald Trump.
We should be led over the cliff by losers like mcconnell, schumer and pelosi.
We are too far gone to salvage, and no amount of hand wringing and sputtering will save us from what’s coming.
I wonder daily when Trump will take the lovely Melania by the hand and say, “Adios.”
I sure would.
“The stupidity of these leftists is that they believe they can control them.”
See my tag line.

Trump needs to sit down on national tv and read the Cloward-Piven Strategy article to this country. We need to make everyone know that the purpose that drives the left is not to fix the system, but to break it. Their objective is to overwhelm the system and bring it down, and this has been taught in our universities for the last 40 years or more. It’s not a secret—it needs to be on the front page. Read the damned playbook out loud so nobody can pretend they don’t know what’s going on.
Don’t worry it always stays at 11 million total by magic.
But really it’s 30 to 50 million.
Time to realease the Kraaken
At this point the president looks like a fool to me. For the first time since i was aware of him 30 years ago.,
Some action items which will show we are serious.

Publish a list of sanctuary cities and crimes committed in those cities by illegals and the names of the mayor, city councils and the chiefs or sheriffs.
Put 25,000 marines sitting among the 90,000 at Pendleton on the border. Order them to establish physical and chemical and other non-lethal methods to keep people from stepping on US soil.

Will add more as they comes to me
...
Trump said yesterday he’s not doing anything for a year, so it’s GAME OVER.
Thanks. If President Trump has learned anything, he’s likely realized the truth in the adage, “No good deed goes unpunished.”
If your state allows it, get your conceal carry permit and pack heat at all times. Also consider purchasing a trunk gun.
We are not a sovereign nation at this point. We are a dump zone.
Where do they live and what do they use for money and who’s social security number do they use ?
bttt
Not an emergency since they’ll all be dependents of government as god and vote for more government. Paid for by me. And you.
We all have to remember that Jeb is married to a Hispanic woman. All his kids are half/half.
At 100 million, then 10 in 33 would be here illegally.
Any one wonder why taxes are so high & your insurance is skyrocketing?
