Illegal immigration on border surges back to Obama levels
Washington Times ^

Posted on 12/15/2017 9:17:47 AM PST by bryan999

Illegal immigration across the Southwest border has surged back to Obama-era levels, according to the latest data released Friday that suggests the gains President Trump made early in his tenure have worn off.

Nearly 40,000 illegal immigrants were nabbed attempting to sneak in at the border in November, which was up about 12 percent compared to October, and more than twice the monthly numbers from March and April, when Mr. Trump touted his early accomplishments.

Perhaps just as worrisome for officials is the rise in families traveling together, which surged 45 percent last month, and unaccompanied minors traveling without parents, which rose 26 percent in November.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection called the rise an “uptick.”

The open borders crowd fighting back with sanctuary cities has emboldened the invaders.

The talk of “fixing DACA” is probably attracking them too.

I call Bullshit!

They are using numbers of apprehensions.

OF COURSE THEY ARE HIGHER. That is what the changes in leadership were supposed to do. Enforce the law, nab and deport the leeches instead of looking the other way. Sheesh...

I see nothing anywhere that indicated the mexicans all of a sudden mass invaded last month.

Congressional talk of bringing back DACA in some form as a "compromise" (thereby legalizing anchor babies and by extension of their families) is also encouraging to illegals and their enablers.

"The open borders crowd fighting back with sanctuary cities has emboldened the invaders."

That and an entrenched open border/globalist bureaucracy within the government obstructing the President at every turn. Also do not forget a booming economy. The cheap labor express must be fed.

Two things:

1. Build the wall.

2. Time to open up vast FEMA camps and put these people to work clearing forests, picking up litter along the hiways, disaster cleanups, cleaning up the beaches, and other duties as assigned.

This doesn't make sense. Historically, at this time of year, all the mexicans are going back to mexico because of the holidays. Usually the numbers go down in Dec and Jan until the spring crops start coming in in March.

Still I agree with you, a tall freakin' wall would be very nice.

With Venezuela and Guatemala about to collapse, there is going to be a surge of immigrants trying to pass through Mexico in hopes of getting into the USA. That by itself will result in an increase in border arrests.

Clearing forests is environmentally wrong. The undergrowth and fallen trees must be left to accumulate in order to have rip roaring weenie and marshmallow roast in the embers of someone else’s home ... see southern California for a good time.

This is a pre border wall surge. More families are making a last ditch attempt to cross, doesn’t mean they are actually able to.

Build the wall, shut off the welfare magnet, and change the law regarding “anchor babies” (birthright citizenship).

Winter is the best time to cross mexico and south texas. The heat takes a toll.
