As caravans build up in Honduras, migrants are increasing at a “concerning rate” at the United States southern border, according to Matthew Hudak, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) chief patrol agent of the Laredo sector in Texas. He warns that immigration is just a piece of the threat coupled with the pandemic health risk and other crimes along the border.
“Like everybody, we’re tracking the formation of these caravans in Central America,” said Hudak. The Laredo Sector is one of nine CBP sectors along the southern border. It contains about 135 miles of the international border with Mexico.
On Jan. 8, CBP Acting Commissioner Mark A. Morgan issued a statement on potential migrant caravans: “Do not waste your time and money, and do not risk your safety and health.” According to Hudak, the Laredo Sector hasn’t seen a reduction of migrants in response to the statement. It has made over 30,000 arrests in this fiscal year, a 50 percent increase over the same period last year. Hudak added that similar trends are identified by other sectors on the southern border. The U.S. government fiscal year starts on Oct. 1. Hudak called the 50 percent increase “a pretty concerning rate.”
He told The Epoch Times that some portions of the caravan of 9,000 migrants will make their way to the southern border. Part of the group was stopped in Guatemala on Jan. 16. Depending on the pace and the means with which these migrants travel, the arrival time at the U.S.-Mexico border may be between a few days and a few weeks. As of Jan. 21, he hasn’t yet seen a dramatic increase of migrants indicative of caravans arriving at the southern border.

Destroying the U.S., job one...
so isn’t it unconstitutional for our government to allow invasion?
Paging Paxton....
“unconstitutional”?
Pretty sure that’s not a thing anymore.
Don’t worry comrade, I’m sure there will be PLENTY of $15/hr minimum wage jobs available for hordes of unskilled, uneducated, non-English speaking migrants in our new communist paradise.
It might be, but nobody has standing to bring a lawsuit so we will never know.
Yes, if only we could have Mexico’s economy...
Smile...
Micro Rubio and Flimsey Grahamnesty promised them amnesty.
Imagine the wobble that’s going to develop on the Earth once every ***hole from south of the border is in the U.S.
I know that young, unthinking leftists are happy to parrot the leftist line that it’s inhumane to prevent illegal aliens from entering the US or staying here.
I wonder if they will still blindly parrot the leftist narrative when the third world encampments become so large that they abut the nice neighborhoods young leftists typically inhabit and crime and pollution both soar as a result.
“Migrants”
Butt.. but mean Trump tweets.
The corrupt MSM will not cover the mobs walking into our country...
