More Than 100,000 Illegal Migrants Have Escaped Border Patrol Agents in 2019
The Daily Signal ^ | June 21, 2019 | Jason Hopkins

Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost spoke to Congress on Thursday about the immigration crisis, and how it’s keeping agents from apprehending migrants who cross the border illegally.

“I have been forced to divert 40% to 60% of Border Patrol’s manpower away from the border as we process and care for nearly 435,000 [families] and children that have flooded across our southern border so far this year,” Provost said Thursday before the House Homeland Security subcommittee on border security, facilitation, and operations.

“So far this year, we have observed 100,000 people who have successfully evaded arrest, a five-year high in what we call ‘got aways,’” the Border Patrol chief said to lawmakers.

“These are just the ones that we know about. Even with [the Department of Defense’s] support, I fear that we are missing far many others.”

on Trump’s watch this is not good.
So next I guess we will get hit with a DACA/Dreamer amnesty with numbers reaching into the millions.
It’s a demographic nightmare and they will do a few high profile family unit raids starting Sunday.
Not nearly enough.

I actually try to avoid the illegal stats. It’s just frustrating and depressing. We have a POTUS who really wants to stop the invasion but is unable to. We are at the tipping point ans as soon as Texas falls it’s over. I hate falling into pessimism but it’s hard not to. It’s not hopeless but it seems time is not on our side to say the least.

“We have a POTUS who really wants to stop the invasion but is unable to.”

Maybe we should ask president Kushner, Immigration czar.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We let Bush League Republicans hornswaggle US into voting for their open borders/amnesty candidates for 30 years.
There are now 30 million at least, which is ten times the number amnestied in 1986.
One more and it’s over and they know, that’s all they have been doing on immigration since the last one.
Re-electing people like Flimsey Grahamnesty is never going to Make America Great Again.
