Hundreds of migrant families will be flown to California in as many as three flights a week as U.S. Border Patrol agents continue to struggle with the growing number of illegals crossing into the U.S., officials said.
Flights carrying 120 to 135 people were set to begin flying Friday to San Diego from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas and would continue to do so indefinitely, Border Patrol's interim San Diego sector chief Douglas Harrison said.
Harrison called it a “contingency operation” that would see at least three flights a week making the trip. Each flight would cost the government around $6,000, officials said.

Now that Isis is defeated, Gitmo must have lots of room. Just sayin

Why not to Hawaii?
Just send them to San Francisco with Pelosi’s address and phone number. It’s cheaper!
With all those sanctuary cities in that sanctuary state, there should be at least 10 flights a week. Gavin Newsom, the big-mouthed mayor of L.A., and Nancy Pelosi should be thrilled to welcome all the illegal border crossers to their state.
Trump has no problem with unilateral executive action when it come to bombing Syria or threatening Iran with a military strike. When it comes to protecting our own borders, however, and building a wall to keep invaders out, he refers to Congress and nothing gets done.
The magic word is asylum.
In December the US Supreme court said anyone can claim asylum any time, anywhere, even if they enter ILLEGALLY. That is what caused this flood...the USSC backed up another court that made that ruling. Trump policy was that people who entered illegally could not claim asylum, the courts made them stop enforcing that.

Correction...It was the big-mouthed mayor of Oakland who warned the illegal criminals that ICE was planning to pick them up, giving them time to hide.
Horrible.
If it becomes DiFi and Pelousy’s problem, they will change the laws to allow deportation.

If the Democrats thought for one moment that hispanic immigrants might start voting for Trump they would do everything in their power to urgently seal off the border and start immediate deportations — in a New York minute. And interestingly, some polls are showing increasing hispanic support for the president.
I agree with this. California wants them. Fine send them to California. They can pay for all of this.
Yep, give the liberals a real taste of their own medicine
The liberals have thrived in California as illegals have come in. They’re not going to object to more coming, it means more Democratic voters
Trump was elected to keep illegals out of the country. As commander in chief, he could have started building the wall two years ago, as part of the war on terror. Instead, we’re getting more illegals than under Obama
Trump is doing everything he can to keep them out. Are you paying attention? He is being blocked and blind sided on everything he does.
Except they are going to San Diego!!!! Ughhhh!!!
President Trump is doing the best he can. Your negativity is disgusting!
“I agree with this.”
Yes, let’s let more illegals into the country. The numbers are higher than under Obama. Never mind that MAGA stuff
> Why don’t they send them to Alaska??? <
No worries. Under the process of osmosis, the illegals will eventually be everywhere. They won’t just be in sanctuary cities. That means more crime everywhere, more voter fraud everywhere, and more welfare fraud everywhere.
If only Trump had been elected in 2016. Oh, wait...
I read an article a few days ago that said Vermont wants them! No idea why there aren’t non-stop flights going there now.

Trump is being tied down by courts. So in the meantime he’s doing what he can. Then continue to send conservative candidates to our courts. In 2nd term, he may have more leeway in his actions.
“President Trump is doing the best he can”
No he’s not. He bombed Syria as part of the war on terror, without asking Congress. But when it comes to building a wall to keep invaders - including terrorists - out of our own country, he has deferred to Congress. That’s not “doing the best he can”
When I went to Salem, Ma few years back they had a website for the town. I joined it to learn about the place before I went.
All the posters were white and liberal saying that Az was racist for wanting immigration control.
What a joke.
Excellent point!
What some of the posters do not realize is that NOONE can wave a magic wand and make a wall appear. It takes time to get quotes, plan routes, award contracts, order supplies, etc.
