llegal immigration across the southwest border has doubled in the last four months, according to new government data that suggests the early gains of President Trumps tenure are wearing off.
More than 30,000 illegal immigrants were nabbed in August, up 22 percent compared to July and up nearly 100 percent compared to April, when fewer than 16,000 illegal immigrants were arrested by the Border Patrol or stopped at ports of entry by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers.
The numbers are still lower than they were a year before under Mr. Obama, but the gains Mr. Trump made in his first months in office are dissipating.
Officials say the number of people caught is a rough yardstick for the total flow, so more apprehensions means more people are trying and succeeding in getting through.
The spikes were apparent across a number of demographic sectors. Cubans, Haitians, illegal immigrant children traveling alone and families traveling together all posted increases.
Likewise every sector along the U.S.-Mexico border saw increases in the number of illegal immigrants nabbed by agents.

“Ill take it a step further and say this is due in part to Trump calling for congress to legalize DACA.”
Trump never said that, Johnny. You left wing neo-con trolls are so full of crap that we can smell you from a thousand miles away.
Potential illegal entrants have probably noticed a weakening in the Trump administrations pronouncements on illegal immigration, and the talk of a DACA amnesty in recent weeks probably signals new opportunities to scam the system and maybe an even greater amnesty is on the way.
No there isn’t a wall coming, and Trump’s known it all along.
“BREAKING: Schumer, Pelosi announce deal with Trump to protect young immigrants; will include border security, but no wall.”

i.e. DACA? Yes. Wall? NO.
Which means no new border security that can't be removed within days whenever a president so desires.
Trump loves dreamers. I am looking to the day when he announces he loves undocumented immigrants.
Yes Trump did ask Congress to “legalize DACA”.
They ain’t getting mine.
I’m done with the GOP.
Not voting for any R not named Trump.
It’s time for a new party.
“Yes Trump did ask Congress to legalize DACA.”
You neo-con trolls sure like shoveling crap.
I wish the president had sent active duty military to the entire U.S. - Mexican border and stationed them there, assisting the Border Patrol in locking down our border.
Left wing neo-con troll. I’ve been called a lot of things but that’s a new one. Sorry to tell you your sense of smell is very bad but say what you want.
Back to the point. Trump tweeted: “Congress get ready to do your job - DACA”
If you don’t understand that to be Trump telling Congress to legalize DACA then not only is your sense of smell horrible, but your english comprehension is bad too.
That was my interpretation as well. I couldn't make sense of this - ". . . so more apprehensions means more people are trying and succeeding in getting through."
If there are more apprehensions, then how are they succeeding? The only thing I can figure is they have some algorithm along the lines of "we catch 50%, so 50% of a larger number means more are getting through than when we were catching 50% of a smaller number. ??? New Math, I guess.
Being serious is not the issue. Just because Trump became potus, does not mean millions of leftist who infiltrated government at every level, suddenly disappear. Government is jammed with corrupt leftist bureaucrats of every stripe.
Just look at those Trump has to work with. He's surrounded by corrupt posers and frauds.
That’s true, he is.
To be honest, when I said our government isn’t serious, I didn’t really mean to include him, although by my choice of words, I did. A mistake on my part.
I still love my president, but I absolutely hate everyone else. I’m not even sure that hate is a strong enough word at this point.
And where are you getting that, exactly? And can we PLEASE stop glossing over the part where he’s already broken one of his biiiiggest campaign promises, regarding DACA and the Wall?!? What is with this almost religious-like following and worship of Trump?? “Not being politically correct” is NOT a valid answer when he’s failed to follow thru on virtually everything so far. (And he’s not even making the tough un-PC speeches and talk anymore ever since taking the WH — just teeerribly costly blunders like Charlottesville.)
And oh, speaking of broken promises, wait ... there’s more. http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/350579-trump-open-to-obamacare-fix-lawmakers-say-after-meeting
Hey, didn’t Trump just twit that he wanted to give amnesty to dreamers? Is an apology in order?
“Hey, didnt Trump just twit that he wanted to give amnesty to dreamers? “
Only in your addled nevertrump mind.
Yes, it makes me wonder if Trump didn’t win the popular vote.
Typical Trump cultists / paid trolls really cannot read.
If they're not lying, they're distorting the truth or giving you half truths.
That’s for sure.
