New migrant caravan forms as Mexican cities that border US keep swelling with asylum seekers
FOX News ^ | February 21, 2019 | By Griff Jenkins

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico - Yet another caravan of more than 1,000 mostly Central American migrants has crossed Mexico’s southern border, according to officials. They clashed briefly with federal police and immigration agents (INM) but were able to overwhelm the officials and enter illegally.

The new caravan begins the march north toward the United States as border cities like Ciudad Juárez are swelling with migrants already here from previous caravans – with more arriving from the closure of the shelter in Piedras Negras on Wednesday.

There are two shelters here that are beyond maximum capacity, each holding more than 600 people. They give the migrants pink wrist bands marked with a number to wait their turn to apply for asylum at the El Paso ports of entry.

Such pressures on U.S. border cities like El Paso, Texas, which is across from Ciudad Juárez, are evident in the number of apprehensions for illegal entry, which is up 478 percent this year. As of this week, there have been 43,238 apprehensions in the El Paso sector this fiscal year – compared to 7,481 at this same point last year, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

And migrants here are well aware of comments from Democratic 2020 hopefuls, like Beto O’Rourke, who have suggested tearing down parts of the El Paso wall.

On Wednesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen met with Central American leaders in El Salvador to address the continuous formation of caravans and discuss the development of a “regional compact” and action plan aimed at addressing the “security crisis of irregular migration.”

Mexico needs to shut the invaders down at THEIR southern border.

If they don’t then they are “in on it” and very suspect as to why they are dealing with them for months as they go through Mexico.

Very suspicious!

This is occurring as the Democrats and their Repuke allies are trying to stop Trump’s emergency declaration. The destruction of America is happening right before our eyes with just one man in DC doing all the real fighting for the country!

there is an invasion.

There is a solution to this problem ... it involves the Department of Defense ... a whole lot of Soldiers, Airmen, and Marines ... and a whole lot of ordnance. The Cartels are actually the main enemy, not the official government of Mexico.

The cartels and government are one and the same. Mexico’s a failed narco-state.

There’s no stinkin caravans! Trump is making it up!

“... the number of apprehensions for illegal entry, which is up 478 percent this year. As of this week, there have been 43,238 apprehensions in the El Paso sector this fiscal year – compared to 7,481 at this same point last year, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.”

We don’t need a wall. The numbers are way, way down, say the Liberals.

On a Typical Day in Fiscal Year 2017, CBP...

INTERCEPTED:


https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/typical-day-fy2017

 

In FY 2018, an average of more than 33,000 were apprehended on the southern border EVERY month. A small cities worth of population, month after month after month after month.

Nearly 400,000 were caught FY 2018 alone.

**** Keep in mind, these numbers represent those who were caught. How many were not caught? ****

Southwest Apprehensions By Fiscal Year

Texas apprehensions FY 2018 - 250,342
Texas apprehensions FY 2017 - 207,693

California apprehensions FY 2018 - 67,821
California apprehensions FY 2017 - 44,719

Note: For the Las Cruces (NM) station, see El Paso Sector.

How many actually showed up for any kind of immigration hearing? Less than 10%? How many are actually deported? Less than 5%? Of those deported, how many try to sneak back in again, 100%?

That also doesn't take into account those who are NOT apprehended.

https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration

We were told for years that there were 11 million foreign nationals in our country unlawfully. It was a lie.

Yale, MIT study: 22 million, not 11 million, undocumented immigrants in US [1]

And 22,000,000 undoubtedly, is under estimated as well.

That's more people than the ENTIRE state of Florida, and darn near as many as the whole state of Texas! An entire large state's worth of foreign nationals who have disrespected our sovereignty and rule of law and are living here illegally, many (most, who really knows?) receiving taxpayer paid for housing, food, medical, dental, legal, schooling and other "welfare."

Five Million Latin Americans Coming to U.S. in Next 12 Months
and an estimated 42 million more say they want to enter the country.

According to a recent Gallup "World" poll, 158 MILLION people would "immigrate" to the United States if they could.

At a miniumum, every single illegal alien is guilty of violating federal law 1911. 8 U.S.C. 1325 -- Unlawful Entry, Failure To Depart, Fleeing Immigration Checkpoints, Marriage Fraud, Commercial Enterprise Fraud.

Every single illegal alien who was deported and illegally entered again is guilty of violating federal law 1912. 8 U.S.C. 1326 -- Reentry After Deportation (Removal)

WHY ARE WE ALLOWING CITIZENS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
ENTERING ILLEGALLY GRANTING THEM RIGHTS
THAT THEIR COUNTRY DENY US HAVING
WHEN ENTERING IT LEGALLY ???
It’s time we consider illegal entry by any person who is a non Mexican citizen illegally entering the United States through the US Mexican border a defacto Mexican citizen with limited Mexican constitutional rights subject to their laws while transiting. As well as any Mexican citizen doing so. Subject to reciprocal citizen treatment a citizen of the United States receives in Mexico through the Mexican constitution on citizenship .

Besides being unable to vote one must also be a citizen to own land and Mexico is very restrictive about granting citizenship. Because of that a US citizen besides not being able to vote,and cannot have title in their name to any land property in Mexico. And until that is changed the US and the affected state should consider making that reciprocal.prohibiting citizens of Mexico or countries with similar restrictions from doing both voting and land ownership.. .
