Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector continue to be overwhelmed by the numbers of illegal border crossers, they say. The sector continues to lead the nation in Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC), Family Unit Aliens (FMUA), and total apprehensions.
We are seeing huge numbers this year,” Agent Cabrera stated. “The numbers in February were much higher than the same month in the previous two years.
During the first six months of this fiscal year (which began on October 1, 2017), CBP reports indicate that RGV Sector agents apprehended more than 52,000 illegal immigrants.
“We have the buildings to handle the influx of these people,” Cabrera explained, “but we don’t have the manpower. The influx is causing agents to be taken off the front line to assist with processing the families and unaccompanied minors. This leads to gaps in security and not enough agents to back each other up in the field.”
Cabrera outlined the consequences.
“This leads to lawsuits against the agency for overcrowding and not being able to meet court-imposed processing deadlines,” he continued. “It also creates an agent safety issue when we don’t have enough agents on the line to provide backup.”
Border Patrol agents are frequently assaulted while on duty, Breitbart Texas reported. During the first six months of Fiscal Year 2018, CBP indicated that illegal aliens assaulted more than 230 agents.
Cabrera said most of the migrants arrested after crossing the border from Mexico come from Central America. CBP statistics show that Guatemala heads up the list this fiscal year with 8,814 UACs and 16,421 FMUAs. This is followed by migrants from Honduras, Mexico, and El Salvador.
Cabrera said they also see large numbers of Chinese nationals apprehended along the border and at inland checkpoints.

The United States needs to establish a castle doctrine when it comes to Illegal Invaders and shoot them on site when entering illegally. Just as any Intruder in a castle doctrine state would be shot.
Welcome to America!
What are your demands?
Texas is the target. Going to CA is overkill it could not get any blue’r. Invade Texas turn it blue and the country is finished.
This is what the military is for.
It’s time to set up a shoot to kill policy so these Border Patrol agents have the “human right” to defend themselves from these “blue wave” invaders.
About time to put a bounty on them.
That's the whole idea behind anchor babies. Have as many as possible and change the demographics. In 20 years it's over. If that.
The United States needs to militarize the borders. Many years ago (probably 55 or more) I was visiting Ensenada by car with my husband. Got into Mexico OK, but on re-entering the U.S. had difficulties because I had a strong British accent back then, a lot of my clothes had British labels when they went through my suitcase, and they were hesitant to let me in with just my California Driver’s License. We were pulled off to one side for ages until I was checked out. Things were stricter then and we need to get back to stricter enforcement. Certainly won’t happen under Gov. Brown’s say so...may happen under President Trump.
Seriously, shoot the coyotes.
Is there seriously nothing Trump can do about this...and if so why isn’t he?
We’re gonna lose this country within another couple of election cycles if this isn’t stopped.
What is the point of having a military, if it isn’t tasked with defending us from invasion?
And Mexico thanks Texas for their cooperation.
Sounds like we need a State Militia.
Who outside the USA WOULDNT head toward a sanctuary state or country???
This is what the military is for.
Place your bets.
meh, who am I kidding ?
The police can kill citizens in self defense, but the border patrol can’t defend themselves against illegals.
The military defends countries far away, but can’t defend us. Doesn’t make sense.
