The fast-growing migrant rush over the U.S. border is collapsing border security and overwhelming the ability of border agents to process and protect migrants, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a Thursday letter to all members of Congress.
“We face a system-wide meltdown … We are witnessing the real-time dissolution of the immigration system,” the head of the Department of Homeland Security wrote March 28 in a six-page letter. She added that she will soon ask for an emergency funding bill:
I will be working with the Office of Management and Budget to provide you additional details in the near future, but the situation is so dire we want to make notification to you now that we will require additional resources … to ensure immediate safety and care of individuals in our custody.
Her letter emphasized her concern for the aid and welfare of the migrants, and she minimized any mention of Americans’ concerns about the personal and financial costs imposed by the cartels’ trafficking of drugs into U.S. communities and of cheap labor into U.S. workplaces. She also did not mention the opposition by Congress and the business sector to legal reforms that would curb cheap-labor migration, such as the E-Verify system, which exposes employers who try to hire illegals. She wrote:
My greatest concern is for the children [brought by the migrants], who are put at high risk by this emergency and who are arriving sicker than ever before after travelling on the treacherous trek … a resource surge is needed throughout the system to ensure efficient throughput and proper care [of migrants] … including conducting [health and] welfare checks, preparing meals, and accounting for personal property.

Mayday...mayday...mayday
This was deliberate sabotage of our immigration system.
I don’t give a damn about protecting illegal invaders, I want them repelled.
Yep, I didn’t vote for the aid and welfare of illegals.
Close the border..Mexico will stop it in a hurry
Add a ten percent remittence tax to what they send south and increase it every month illegals go up..
POTUS threatened to close the border last night, and that’s enough for some people.
DHS Nielsen: Border Security Is in ‘System-Wide Meltdown’>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
PDJT needs to send in the military and put lead on the Southern border.All the way from sea to sea.And he needs to get the Russian military out of Venezuela.The Russians eventually will be coming up to our border just like these illegal aliens are, to protect them from our border patrol!
Things are about to heat up.
Claymores. Liberal use of Claymores.

BOTH parties are responsible for this mess.
Keep re-electing people like Flimsey Grahamnesty, Thom Tillis, Gardner, McSally, Daines, Collins, Cornyn, Capito, Enzi, Rounds, Sasse, Hyde-Smith, McConnell and it will not get better.
They are the ones who caused it.

Not to be unkind or anything, but I was never under the impression that the primary function of border control agents was to process and protect migrants.
Mexico would be bussing them south instead of north if we shut the border completely.
It seems to be accelerating. The last four months have all shown increases in volume of people stopped/refused by Border Patrol.
I wonder if the illegals are coming to the conclusion that a wall is eventually going to get built, and are trying to get in before it happens?
Or, it could just be the usual suspects, seeing what an issue that is, think they can win on it by giving resources and money to people, encouraging them to come from all points in Central America and flood the system.
a resource surge is needed throughout the system to ensure efficient throughput and proper care [of migrants] … including conducting [health and] welfare checks, preparing meals, and accounting for personal property.
And it should be paid for through a special assessment on the incomes and assets of PUBLIC SERVANTS for allowing this in the first place.
Absolutely true but many times predictive text isn’t a friend.
“...judges through sand and rags...”
“through”=threw.
It is when the DHS was formed...............
I’m afraid negotiation won’t stop the invasion of immigrants. It’s going to take force.
Wonder what Trump has in mind by closing the border. Can that be enforced without bringing a bunch of military in? Last time the military wasn’t allowed to do anything but support the immigration people.
