First large group from Africa apprehended
DEL RIO, Texas – U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Del Rio Station apprehended a large group of 116 individuals Thursday.
“Large groups present a unique challenge for the men and women of the Del Rio Sector,” said Chief Raul Ortiz. “This large group from Africa further demonstrates the complexity and severity of the border security and humanitarian crisis at our Southwest border.”
Agents performing line watch operations apprehended the group after they illegally crossed the Rio Grande into the U.S. around 10:30 p.m.
This is the first large group apprehended in the Del Rio Sector and the first large group of people from Africa – including nationals from Angola, Cameroon and Congo - apprehended on the Southwest border this year.
Agents have encountered 182 large groups of more than 100 individuals across the Southwest border so far this fiscal year.

Have a German friend who was all so welcoming for the muzzy invasion but hated the Turks. Makes no sense.
OTMs have been crossing over for years. Many of the first ones were Middle Easterners trying to pass as Mexican.
@ Texan5,
I bet our paths crossed or we knew someone close.
You are correct about fishing at night. We would see the narcos running across the lake and knew it was time to move. My father was a great fisherman at the lake. Owned the lake record for many years. He sold me his boat because it was not safe for him to fish anymore.
I hauled that boat from Texas to Dacula, GA.
SORRY, but that wasn’t how it worked in our area. = Our farm had a bunkhouse, central kitchen, bathhouse & we had a GOOD labor contactor (Luis Suarez de Vega), who provided the farmworkers & when the season ended, he transported them back to Mexico or to another jobsite.

I fear that you are CORRECT.
An invasion isn’t going to happen, absent a revolution in Mexico that brings the entire society of Mexico crashing down.

That’s like asking to be bit by a rattlesnake or a scorpion.
I lived in NW WA and the place is now filled with illegal farm workers and their descendants. Formerly peaceful rural areas now have gangs with driveby shootings. Liberals closed the migrant camps and the migrants rented in town with multiple families in one apartment.
The funniest was the two women from Ethiopia. We tracked them for almost 6 hours before finding them hoofing it up a caliche road with their little bundles on their head. What was funny, is they were on this white road with white clothes and white sheet pack on head. One was a Christian and spoke some English.
The problem is the bastards do not leave.
In other words, the problem is the LEFTIST DIMocRATS, who never wanted to enforce the law, rather than that there was any problem with a GOOD “Guest Workers Program” that allowed farmers to hire the temporary manual laborers that were needed to do work that no American citizen was willing to do at any price.
Let me give you ONE example. - When my late mother took over management of the family farm in 1966 after my grandfather, my father & her elder brother died, Mother tried to hire 3-4 people to build/repair fences, do the necessary labor to cut/bale/”get in” the hay & to take care of our livestock.
She placed numerous ads, worked with the local/regional unemployment agencies & after 6 weeks of looking/interviewing had had exactly ONE person who wanted a job & actually showed up to work. = An about 120#, 25YO woman.
(”Nellie Jo” told my mother that she really needed a job, as she had a little boy, no husband & was willing to do any job that she needed done. - Mother hired her & she stayed with us for over 20 years, doing all sorts of necessary work for Mother at the farm & elsewhere.)
It truly comes down to this, NO farmer can afford to pay the amount per hour that would tempt many Americans to do farm labor. = The only choice is a well-designed Guest Workers Program that allows the laborers to come to the USA lawfully, do the jobs as long as they are needed & then leave the USA thereafter, until the temporary laborers are needed again.
Just my OPINION, TMN78247
May I suggest that you read my post # 51??

Bravissimo! Thank your BP friend for hilarious story. Lord, what absolutely worthless piles of primate protoplasm these crossers are... “eating tamales”.
And, having been thrown into just such a really nasty thorned prickly pear— know what he means.
This has to stop— permanently. Not the Bush El Norte future Aztlan America...no more.
Unfortunately, Roger R__________, USBP retired in 1991. He moved to AZ to live with his niece & we’ve lost touch. - I don’t even know if he’s still alive.
YEP, he was a great guy & told great stories of “the old days working in the borderlands”.
(I, too, know more than I want to know about pulling thorns out of my increasing old & fragile body, after “Frisco” decided to “cut up” & tossed me into the cactus.)
Everyone should also know that what I said about starting/continuing a GOOD/WELL-MANAGED “Guest Worker Program” is also 100% FACT. = The frank TRUTH is that if readers believe that family farms need to continue to function/exist, we MUST have a ready supply of seasonable workers & FEW or NO Americans are willing to take those seasonal jobs.
As a result of Mother NOT being able to LEGALLY hire men to repair/build fences/tend the livestock, we had to cease our family’s (moderately large) swine production operation, that our family had operated for THREE CENTURIES PLUS.
Mother was forced to sell all of the livestock (Other than 4 horses) & went into a coastal hay production operation, which is FAR less profitable.
As I see it, LOSE ALL (or virtually all) of the family-owned small farms OR allow us to lawfully hire the seasonal farm laborers that farm families HAVE to have to stay in operation.
Just my OPINION, TMN78247
That’s what I was trying to say. In the 60s every kid in our town couldn’t wait to be old enough to pick strawberries and raspberries and cucumbers etc. along side the migrant workers. We wanted money to buy clothes and save for college with.
Now none of the kids do that. Their mothers
shuttle them to soccer practice instead and they have no work ethic.
A time gone by.
Thanks for that perspective. First hand counts.
Lots of pesos for a few dollars.
Soros has been in this game a long time.
He must be “examined” and made unable to continue.
I agree with your evaluation of kids in 2019 (We cannot even find HS boys who want to “get in” the baled hay from field to barn, as everybody wanted to when I was young.)
BUT
There is NOBODY “in their right mind” who would hire typical American teenagers to feed/move/handle/load HOGS. = Doing that job is difficult & DANGEROUS, unless you are strong/knowledgeable/experienced.
(Get “knocked down” in the pen with full-grown swine & “You’re FINISHED”.)

Wall Street Journal posted an article and video about this behind a pay wall. This is one that is essentially the same that is not:
