Border Crisis Deepens: More Than 132K Arrested Last Month
The Federalist ^ | June 5, 2019 | John Daniel Davidson

Arrests in May increased by nearly a third from April. At this rate, illegal immigration levels will reach highs we haven’t seen since 2006.

U.S. Customs and Border Protections on Wednesday released its numbers for May, and they are shocking. Border Patrol apprehended or turned away more than 144,000 people last month on the southwest border, including more than 100,000 families and children.

That exceeds by 32 percent the total for April, which had represented the highest number of monthly apprehensions since 2007. Over the past eight months, CBP has detained more than 680,000 illegal immigrants—or, as acting CBP Commissioner John Sanders put it, “more than the population of Miami.”

There’s no sign that this surge is letting up. Last week, a group of more than 1,000 migrants—by far the largest single group Border Patrol has ever encountered—crossed the Rio Grande in El Paso and surrendered to U.S. authorities. On average, Border Patrol apprehended more than 4,200 people a day last month.

Federal immigration officials have been warning that the border is “at the breaking point” for months now. Federal facilities are at or beyond capacity, as are shelters run by private charities up and down the border.

This is being done deliberately in an effort to overwhelm the Trump presidency.

But make no mistake scumbag Republicans like Paul Ryan and McConnell betrayed this country and set us up for this by doing nothing when they had the opportunity.

America will soon be a one party disgrace like California.

This was the only real victory, which should tell you something about the value of government to REALLY help. THIS was from the private sector:

ALL the military guys on the border now have been ordered to PAINT stuff.

That was from some private citizens begging around for cash, then hiring their own people to wall off the 1/2 mile that was totally open next to their town.

These people and their children will reliably vote Democrat in the future. Everyone knows it.

The reality is that America will become a socialist country. That’s not “sky is falling” talk. That is reality. Congress has zero intention of stopping this no matter who’s elected. They don’t care about average Americans anymore. They want immigrants that will vote the way the elitists want them to vote.

What happened to ROME’s Legions on the Rhine? Where are our troops on the Rio Grande?

More invaders coming in than it took to destroy ROME.

Does anyone in government care? Rather sad to see a country dissolve. Why did we fight WWII again?

Mexico is just playing games. Closing the border, even if only for a few days or a week, would shock them into reality. We are being INVADED. I can’t for the life of me understand why Trump hasn’t done this — if for no other reason than letting Mexico know he’s had it with their foot dragging and the United States isn’t going to take anymore of their BS.

Strength and resolve are the only things that are respected in this world.

Though not related to the border crisis, I cannot understand why Trump hasn’t declassified and released so much as a single page of the FISA documents. Not even a sentence or paragraph! Said he was going to but that was over eight months ago.

What is he waiting for?
