EL PASO, Texas – While many residents of El Paso, west Texas and New Mexico were commemorating the men and women who died in military service for the United States, area Border Patrol Agents were busier than ever taking into custody more than 2,200 illegal aliens who entered the country illegally.
Memorial Day was the busiest recent day of enforcement activity for El Paso Sector Border Patrol Agents during the ongoing influx. The 2,200 apprehensions included two large groups and many smaller ones.
The busy day began in the boot heel of New Mexico with a large group of over 200 illegal aliens apprehended near the Antelope Wells Port of Entry just after 2 a.m.
A second enormous group was one of the largest in El Paso Sector thus far with over 430 people. This group crossed the border just west of Bowie High School at around 7 a.m.
By the end of the day, the El Paso Sector Agents had apprehended over 2,200 illegal aliens with 1,850 of those being taken into custody in the geographic area between Executive Boulevard and Midway Street in El Paso.
These groups were comprised of mostly Central American families and unaccompanied children. All of the illegal aliens were taken into custody for processing to include initial medical screenings. They will remain in U.S. Border Patrol custody until they are processed accordingly.
U.S. Border Patrol Agents continue to deal with this influx of illegal aliens entering our country with no respect for our immigration laws. This fiscal year to date the El Paso Sector has arrested over 130 thousand illegal aliens, compared to over 16,000 during the same time last fiscal year. The numbers continue to rise and agents see no end in sight for this current situation.

And they will all be released into the USA.
Meanwhile mayor stops wall construction:
Beto welcomes the new Democrat voters to his hometown, while Texas suffers this invasion.
How many are left to come? Should all be here already.
Thanks for posting. I figured that good news wouldn’t last long. I guess the city figures they can get all the rest of their money with fines.
I know, I’m in Texas too. Are there not any citizens that are frightened with groups of hundreds on their streets, even by schools?
“families and unaccompanied children”....wonder if that is true...and where were they in Mexico for the prior week
They claim to be families. I hope they start using the DNA test all the time.
They need to be loaded into cattle cars and sent by rail down to the south end of Mexico.
Fingerprint, photograph, load and ship.
Good thing Trump decided to leave the border open for another year.
Most immigrants ever! MAGA!
PDJT has the authority to bar ANY alien from entering the country.
What happened to "Wait in Mexico"?
Where's the EO on birthright citizenship?
His major election promise was to stop this and now it's 10x worse than when he took office.
I support the President and he has done a great job on everything but this.
I share your frustration.
