But hey! The cowardly Randy Paul and Mitch “The Turtle” McConnell claim there is no national emergency at the border. Dumb and Dumber need to try to get out of their offices more often. They are clueless in America.

That’s upwards of 200 million dollars paid to the cartels who demand upwards of 3000 bucks to cross the border in their zones. And don’t even dream of thinking you can sneak on through their turf without paying.

Bad people get rich from an open border. They put that money into banks. The bankers turn a blind eye to businesses that only exist to launder the money. The bankers also donate to politicians.

They are going to keep coming until we return them ALL back home.

We need to keep families together, in their own countries.

70,000 detained? Detained! Isn't that precious!

Heck they are here forever—once they cross the border, maybe 1 in 10 ever leave. The rest game the system or disappear into the shadows.

They never, ever should be allowed to set one foot in our country. It's funny how we always hear about how many have been "detained" but never about how many have been expelled.

The Reps have clearly been read into the Cloward-Piven strategy and have signed on to Do Their Part!

IF WE DID THIS WOULD WE NE FACING THIS INVASION ?

WHY ARE WE ALLOWING CITIZENS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
ENTER US ILLEGALLY GRANT THEM RIGHTS
THAT THEIR COUNTRY DENY US HAVING
WHEN WE ENTER THEIRS 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.. .

The Washington Post reports the number of migrants detained after entering the United States along the southern border was up sharply in February, possibly setting the stage this spring for the highest number of migrants seen crossing the border in a decade:

A group of 64 parents and children had waded through a shallow bend in the Rio Grande to turn themselves in to the agent on the U.S. side…

Groups like this arrived again and again in February, one of the coldest and busiest months along the southern border in years. U.S. authorities detained more than 70,000 migrants last month, according to preliminary figures, up from 58,000 in January. The majority were Central American parents with children who arrived, again, in unprecedented numbers…

“The numbers are staggering, and we’re incredibly worried that we will see another huge increase in March,” said a Homeland Security official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the unpublished figures.

Last year, the number of migrants crossing the border jumped 39% in March over February as the weather warmed and seasonal workers began joining the flow of economic migrants. If there is a similar jump this year it would mean more than 100,000 migrants detained this month (March) alone. That would be nearly 20% of the total number detained for all of FY18. Even at the present rate, we’re talking about more than 2,000 people a day. That works out to roughly two migrant caravans (approx. 7,000) per week.

The migrants from Central America represent a new pattern in which people mostly aren’t trying to sneak across the border but are simply coming across and immediately surrendering to authorities to claim asylum. It’s legal to claim asylum after crossing the border but those claims have to be adjudicated and that can take months. One reason so many people coming across the border now travel with children is that they’ve learned they are far more likely to be released if traveling with a child...

70,000 in one month. That’s damned near 1,000,000 a year.

It has to stop.

Partner, the "Giant Sixth Grade Brain MSM" is in full gear trying to justify this "Illegal Alien Invasion" into our country.

Our POTUS is 100% correct in declaring a "National Emergency Along Our Southern Border" and getting that 30' High Wall built.

We really are getting the "Riff Raff from Mexico and Central America and probably South America and the rest of the world."

The Corrupt C R A P Hole Country of Mexico is letting these guys come in thru their Southern Border and who the heck is paying for the food and bus rides for these Illegal Alien Vermin and we need to find out.

Also, the biggest question why are our Politicians hiding from these huge problems right now???

I agree. This IS absolutely an emergency. Trump needs to just SHUT IT DOWN. Allow none in at all. Period. There is no law that says we must allow these people to walk in like they are. It is SUICIDE to think this way.

I predict: Remember the slave revolts in Rome? This is what we will see here. Except the revolt will be orchestrated by the ensconced illegal immigrants. At some point, enough of them will decide they can do it and have a greater than even chance of succeeding.

What a travesty.

Will we then as patriotic Americans finally put these “elected” officials on trial for crimes against the citizens of this country?

God, help us....

“70,000 in one month. That’s damned near 1,000,000 a year.”

And the Border patrol estimate that they only caught a quarter of those that entered.

That’s well over 200,000 this month alone. It’s a g-damn invasion and NOTHING is being done about it. PDJT should’ve erected temporary fencing, strewn concertina wire and closed down the damn border on day one. At this rate Texas and Florida will be blue in time for 2020.

Ahem.

Once released into the U.S. interior, some shed their monitoring bracelets and slip into the shadows to remain in the United States, a country where wages are 10 times higher than in Central America.

Anecdotal tidbit.

One local employer who had been hiring Americans to replace people who looked/talked like Central American illegals, has now gone back to the practice of hiring said Central Americans.

Here in "sanctuary" California.

This does not bode well.
