One way tickets to Spain where they speaka da lingo.
It’s all really Spain’s fault anyway.
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.
nope no problem onthe border says, pelosi, NM and CA govs and many others, so 70k must be a mistake. (wish i was kidding)
They are going to keep coming until we return them ALL back home.
We need to keep families together, in their own countries.
Shame on congress.
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.
Someone gave them a lot of big bags of Jiffy popcorn..
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huge increase in March,” said a Homeland Security official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the unpublished figures.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...

Thanks for posting!
BUMP!
Nothing to see here racists. Look over there at the squirrel. Wall? We don’t need no stinkin’ wall. I REALLY don’t like these people. ANTI-wallers
70,000 in one month. That’s damned near 1,000,000 a year.
It has to stop.

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....
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.
So keep in mind, while these are shockingly high quantities of people detained — without Trump, imagine how many would NOT be detained and just slipped through. The numbers of detainees is going to look worse before it gets better.
Who have not been taken care of in Mexico.
If this isn’t a National Emergency - nothing is.......
We need to not only concentrate on the borders, but also take action against those who house these people and put them to work.
Why is it that in order to work (and I was born here), I mut produce proof that I’m allowed to work in the USA yet these people get jobs without it? How’s that possible?
Hit those employers and people who rent them homes. They’re part of the probblem.
Repeat after me.
It's for the children. It's for the children. There are no thousands of military age men inter-mixed in the caravans. Oh right, there are no caravans. The photos and videos are created by bad, bad right-wing groups.
All those photos and videos were produced in a KKK studio. There were no hundreds that tried to rush the Tijuana border some months back. There will be NO others trying the same damn fucking thing.
Since all the above is true, we should let in every last un-skilled, welfare suck-up, women and children, and every military age male into our country.
The political bleeding hearts who think one nation can absorb the population of the Earth should be passing legislation to build low-cost ghetto type housing in DC and outlying areas.
YES! That's the ticket! Let's flood our RINO's/Republicans and Dim socialists in the Senate to write legislation requiring low-cost housing in the DC areas. Let's watch the Demo-socialists refuse to fund that in the House!!! What fun it would be to watch them twist, parse, spin, mis-direct that issue! Not enough popcorn on the planet for that show.
Heard a guy on Fox say the cartels are pushing the women and children to one area to tie up the border patrol while they smuggle the drugs another areas. Could be a mad rush by the cartels as they panic over the wall being built.
