Families are crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in record numbers, surpassing levels seen during the 2014 crisis that caused widespread consternation at the highest levels of government.

New numbers show approximately 32,117 families, mostly from Central America, flooded the Southern border in the first six months of fiscal year 2016, reports the Pew Research Center.

In the same time period of 2015, that number was less than half that, clocking in at 13,913 families. In 2014, agents apprehended 19,830 during that period.

Crisis in Central America

“People who are trying to save their lives come to this country because they can be safe here and they can live a better life – a better future for their family,” claimed Ivania Castillo.....

America betrayed and murdered by the very persons whose job it was to protect her.

When Hillary is President, things will suck so bad here they will flock back to Mexico.

Talk to any Border Patrol agent. Obama has tied their hands and won't let them do their job.

This is the last-call for Obama’s leftist, political social-engineering regime.

He and his red guards still run the bureaucracy, and while they have no further budgets to pass, are using every executive power and allowance (and there’s a lot) to cram “hope and change” down America’s throat in their time left.

if a SA or anyone else is willing to risk their lives to come to America why aren’t they also willing to risk their lives saving their own country? Don’t they ever read American westerns?

GOP Congress ain’t doing s—t about it either. We’re being sold out, folks. I just bought more emergency food supplies.

Border Patrol agents have been ordered to release dripping-wet illegal immigrants at the Rio Grande unless they actually see them climbing out of the river, creating what amounts to “an open border with Mexico,” the chief of the agents’ labor union told Congress in new testimony last week.
Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told the House Judiciary Committee that agents were given the orders verbally soon after President Obama laid out plans for limiting immigration enforcement in 2014.

“We have apprehended illegal aliens just north of the border who are still soaking wet from crossing the river. If they claim, as increasingly they are doing, that they have been here since January 1, 2014, we will process and then release them,” Mr. Judd said in written testimony following up on questions from a hearing earlier this year.

Showing belligerence to US laws and our nation's L/E personnel, means the border jumpers could be tried under the US' PATRIOT Act....possibly as domestic terrorists.

NDAA 2012 permits indefinite detention of individuals exhibiting belligerence to authorities. (hat tip MARCHONDC90122009)

"Section 802 of the P/A defines a domestic terrorist as one who engages in violent activity in order to affect political change (such as the San Jose gangs).

Domestic terrorists can also be stripped of their citizenship and sent to spend the rest of their lives in in foreign rendition prisons.”

Undocumented Democrats needed to elect Hildebeast.

Importing the voters to vote for the party Americans won’t vote for.

Because they use our laws against us. The claim not to be Mexicans, then declare themselves asylum seekers from a nation they refuse to identify.

Automatically admitted and cut loose with a court date.

The frustration we feel at not being able to stop this travesty is what fuels our anger.

It makes sense that they are coming now. If they wait until October there might not be time to process their fake IDs so they can vote for Hillary.
