Caravan-Size Influx Of Migrants Arriving Every Week In Rio Grande Valley (50 Different Countries)
Fox News ^ | 4-9-2019 | Adam Shaw

A caravan-size influx of migrants is flooding across the border each week in just a single sector, a top Border Patrol official told lawmakers Tuesday -- the latest indicator of the growing migration crisis on the southern border.

“Much media attention has focused on caravans coming across from Central America,” Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Patrol Agent Rodolfo Karisch said at a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing. “But the fact is that RGV is receiving caravan-equivalent numbers every seven days.”

Karisch said his sector has apprehended people from 50 different countries, including China, Bangladesh, Turkey, Egypt and Romania.

“People are traveling across hemispheres to attempt to illegally enter the U.S., using the same pathways as the Central Americans,” he said.

Karisch noted that Border Patrol has apprehended more families illegally crossing the border in the first five months of fiscal 2019 than during all of fiscal 2018. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) apprehended more than 76,000 migrants across the border in February and said it was on track to apprehend more than 100,000 in March.

In the Rio Grande Valley alone, Karisch said that at current pace, they would have more than 260,000 apprehensions in his sector by the end of fiscal 2019. There were 162,000 in RGV last year. He also said that his agents apprehend, on average, 1,000 people a day.

Karisch’s testimony is the latest warning from officials that there is an escalating crisis at the border. President Trump, who declared a national emergency at the border in February, traveled to the border on Friday and repeated his warnings that he is prepared to close the border if Congress and Mexico do not act to close loopholes and stop migrant flows -- though he has indicated such an action is not imminent.

"Last week, Obama-era Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan told senators on Thursday that the U.S. is “experiencing a crisis at the southern border at a magnitude never seen in modern times.”

I understand an "emergency" has been declared. Other than that, what has changed?

Brett Velicovich: Democrats' Open Border Fantasy Vision Is A Lie – We Have A Humanitarian Crisis To Fix

"The dramatically worsening crisis at the border – the unfolding humanitarian disaster and utter breakdown of any semblance of the rule of law – is the inevitable result of the open borders agenda of the political class in Washington."

Sure glad we shut down the borders, or shut down the government in exchange for building the wall.

In military terms:

February 76,000 = 5 divisions

March, 100,000 = 6 and a half divisions or 2 corps.

apprehensions in Rio Grande Valley of 260,000 equals the strength of the US Seventh Army in Germany during the Cold War.

So if Kim Jong Un or Putin were to lead caravans of their people to the Rio Grande and crossed into the USA, would we care?

I wouldn’t be opposed to nuking Mexico and almost everything south of it at this point.

The Emergency Declaration doesn’t seems to include any rapid removal of the invaders. The current policy is still catch and release on steroids.

The illegals know it. Show up at the border and you get in.

And the Trump administration’s brief attempt to repel the invaders with tear gas, etc seems abandoned. Haven’t heard more about such things.

The working people of Mexico keep there country going. They have to survive trafficking on one side and corrupt politician on the other. Please don’t group all my neighbors in the same way that those who call all whites KKK do.

I’m concerned with the survival of my country and its legitimate citizens.

Mexico is an existential threat to my country and its legitimate citizens.

It’s a problem that is going to have to be dealt with harshly and soon.

I will definitely find a way to get over those people whom you mentioned.

Only the most media inert can't see that the central american caravans are based on the model perfected in europe over the past few years.

The muzzies have infested the once great countries of europe simply by ignoring then overwhelming the rule of laws regarding immigration. Those countries have only themselves to blame. In the name of appeasement, they refused to do anything that appeared to be "unfriendly" to the invading hordes.

Dims are playing the same role here. They are selling our country's future and their own souls for perpetual power.

I am proud to say, today, that the first DoD funds have been committed to the wall that will save us from the invasion taking place.

he should classify another declaration using language as terrorist threats and gain more legal power over border-(this is what Tom Fitton suggested on Lou Dobbs)

Bring all US troops stationed overseas back home, close those bases, end all foreign aid, and send those soldiers and Marines down to the border to defend the country.

Well, here you go:

Obama: Talks like a weakling, does nothing.
Trump: Talks like a tough guy, does nothing.

See the difference? And yes, I know that Trump can’t do it alone. And he might be playing some sort of 4-D chess. But the buck stops at the White House.

I will now retreat to my underground bunker. Because there will be incoming. I’m supposed to keep quiet, even though thousands and thousands of illegals are crossing each month. And those folks simply aren’t going back.

What it shows is that Beto hasn't a clue as to what makes economies run. The ignorant boob's lust is solely for power over others. Call it socialism with a boyish and syrupy face.

He's a damn communist, there is no other real description.

"Socialism" is just a trendy-cool meme for the communist doctrine being shoveled onto the the young ones who do not have a clue how monstrous the concept really is.

Sit your kid down and run this by them...
