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.

When they get over ran with them then they will be force to take action (eat their own words) the state is 2 trillion in the hole now they can’t risk any more debts.
Bet there will be a lot of back door deportations and the media will be mum.
They got what the wished for now they have to pay the price.
Why don’t they send them back where they came from??
They will vote, and be counted in the Census. Not sure if Trump thought this through. They will never leave.
As a taxpayer I say use AMTRACK. Or Greyhound. Not planes.
“Trump is doing everything he can”
Does leaving the border wide open for another year fall under “everything”?
Or ... they’ll bus them to Arizona.
Get your head outta yer butt!
CMS found a decline in the undocumented population, and specifically those from Mexico, of about 1 million since 2010. And the Pew Research Center found a peak of 12.2 million in the population in 2007, and a decline since.
Announcing this doesn’t mean it’’s going to be carried out...could be this will rile people in Cal. to put pressure on their leadership to stop opposing Trump....
Trump is being tied down by courts
Not true. He could have started, on day one, building a border wall to protect this country from terrorists. There been no court ruling to stop him - because he never tried. If he can bomb Syria as commander in chief, he can protect our borders as commander in chief. Instead, he let Paul Ryan tell him to put off building the border wall
I support Trumps MAGA agenda, but I don’t worship the man. I will criticize his failures to prioritize his agenda, even if it means I’ll get flamed by Freepers
Once again, if Trump thinks he has presidential authority to bomb other countries , then by God he has power to protect our borders, including with a wall to keep our terrorists
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.

Fly them to Honduras or El Salvador.
Why enable illegals to settle in America when the same plane should send them home
I notice your numbers stop two years ago
.....”This will make it a national problem instead of a border state problem and perhaps waking up a few people in the process.”......
Indeed....it’s one thing to sit on the border assisting them to enter or holding up signs to let them in....so now lets see how they like it when they’re dumped in their yard!
America is a joke. An absolute laughingstock.
Remember, every illegal is another count towards another congressional representative. 20 million illegals = 26 representatives. Better to put all the illegals in a conservative state, then move them to California after the 2020 census.
