2019 is already seeing record numbers of illegal border crossings from Mexico into the United States, and the US Border Patrol just announced a new milestone.
In a single morning along the U.S.-Mexico border, agents arrested over 400 people illegally crossing into the country. This is the single largest number of illegal border crossers captured in a single session, or even a single day.
424 Border Crossers Apprehended in One Morning
A total of 424 people attempted to cross the border in Texas last week. The mixed group included families, solo adults and solo children. The huge group attempted to illegally cross into the country near a suburb of El Paso, Texas. Most in the group originated not in Mexico, but in Central America. The massive group of would-be illegal immigrants was apprehended around midnight.
The group was divided into two sectors, each attempted to cross at a different point along the El Paso section of the border. Both groups were apprehended in the early morning hours.
Where are They Arriving From?
The largest group of immigrants ever apprehended at once came from a variety of Central American nations, and were traveling together with a group of human smugglers. Traveling in a large group and paying criminal enterprises to travel was supposed to increase the would-be illegal immigrants chances of successfully entering the country undetected.
According to a press release from the Border Patrol agency:
“Criminal organizations continue to exploit innocent human lives in order to enhance their illicit activities without due regard to the risks of human life. In most cases these smugglers never cross the border themselves in order to avoid apprehension,”.
The Largest – But Not Only—Group Apprehension
According to border patrol agents, this group of over 400 immigrants was unique only in its massive size. Agents have routinely been apprehending and preventing illegal crossings of large groups over the last six months. Since October 2018, more than a hundred large groups were apprehended – each of these groups included over 100 individuals.
This figure represents a huge increase since 2017; in that year, only two groups of more than 100 individuals were apprehended. 2018 saw over 100 groups of this size – and 2019 is well on the way towards even more troubling figures, as this week’s massive apprehension shows.
The soaring numbers of caravans and immigrants attempting to use brute force and evasive techniques to illegally cross into the United States continues to be a concern for the border patrol and the nation. The continued influx of huge roving groups makes it more difficult than ever before for overwhelmed agents to monitor the border and prevent crossings. This week’s bulk apprehension prevented almost 450 new arrivals, but there is no way of knowing how many individuals from this or other large groups successfully crossed into a US suburb or small town.

we are definitely being invaded. Mine the border. It is either them or us. We need to be protected. The democrats don’t care who gets in. Vote them all out in the next election.
The dumacrats, yes I said dumacrats, because that’s what they are, play politics with our border and let our country get invaded for no other reason than to make President Trump look bad so they can recapture the White House. I hope it backfires on them and the Republicans sweep the house and senate and Trump wins by a landslide. It’s not about the country and they are not public servants, it’s about power and their billfolds. We the people are sick and tired of politicians and that’s why Trump won. He had never held political office and that’s one of the reasons I voted for him, he is plain spoken and isn’t concerned with being politically correct he just tells it like it is. I believe that Pelosi is a pawn in somebody’s hand and I hope the truth is discovered. By the way, I’m a dumacrat. That’s right, I’m not a Republican, but I’m going to vote for them. I’m sick and tired of the dumacrats.
So CORRECT you are…..especially “it’s about power and their billfolds” ! You’re also CORRECT about the democrat party becoming ‘dumacrats’. I have never been a democrat, but I also have never seen such corruption starting with Bill Clinton. While Clinton did not do the harm to America as Obama (Obamacare, just one of many) has done, his criminal attacks on women (Paula Jones and Juanita Broderick), and the Monica Lewinsky thing, covered for by Hillary is just too perverted for me! And the party is just going more and more off of the deep end!
It is clear thinking that you possess, but, you are not the first, Ronald Reagan, a wonderfully great president, was a democrat before he became a Republican.
Give Ice Automatic weapons, let them shoot them like rabid dogs leave the bodies laying there, shoot any liberal dem c suckers caught aiding and abetting them.
This will be over in 90 days.
DUMBOCRATS ARE TO BLAME FOR OVER RUN ON THE BORDER OF ILLEGAL ALIEN’S!!
Please stop calling these invaders immigrants. They are in no way immigrants. Immigrants enter our country legally.
Demonorats cater to the Chinese. The Chinese desire not to have to pay employees medical care so Obamacare was instituted where the government picks up the tab. Now, for the chinese to locate manufacturing in the US, they want lower wages which is why the illegals are being allowed to enter so they can lower wages in the US.
Yet the LIBERALS will tell us there is no problem at our SOUTHERN BORDER AND WE DON’T NEED A WALL…….WELL, we the sane, Common Sense, America-Loving Legal Citizens say there is a VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AT OUR BORDER AND WE NEED THE WALL COMPLETED ASAP….AND WE NEED TO INCREASE THE BORDER PATROL AGENTS AND GIVE THEM MORE LEEWAY IN CONTROLLING/PROTECTING our SOUTHERN BORDER AND US AGAINST THESE ILLEGAL INVADERS!
p.s. FACEBOOK BLOCKED ME FROM COMMENTING ON THIS ON THEIR SITE…..WHEN WILL PRESIDENT TRUMP DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL ABOUT THEIR BIAS AGAINST CHRISTIANS AND CONSERVATIVES IN GENERAL!
That is the job of the legislative branch (congress) not the executive branch. Therefore it is like so many other things congress ignores. The House and Senate have not done a good job for over a hundred years.
AMERICA OPEN YOUR EYES DUMB-A-RATS=AS+HOLES ARE TELLING ILLEGALS TO GO AFTER THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY I SAY IT,S TIME WE THE REAL AMERICANS TAKE A STAND, ANYONE THAT BREAKS OUR BOARDER THATS OVER 20 SHOULD BE TURNED AROUND AND THROWN BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
electrify with solar, and maybe mines with signs in many languages
I agree, the Democrats are the one who caused all these. They want power and wanted to control this country. They had nothing to do to stop these illegals, then blame the President. Then what? Donald Trump has done what he promised to do. “To help the American people first” That’s why he won. And he’s continuing doing it. Yes, we the people are tired of politicians. They were voted into Congress to help the people, and what do we get? They blamed the President that he caused the divisions in our country and the government. That’s not what we, the American people see. Look what is happening at the borders right now, the number of illegals crossing into this Country is exceed the previous numbers. Do the Left care about it? We need to pray and ask for God’s guidance and His merciful for all His people.
I’m with whoever suggested the land mines! THINK ABOUT IT! As an American we are absolutely targeted when going into a foreign country! Vacations, business, etc.,. Land mines AND TOP -OF-THE-LINE HIGH-POWERED, AUTOMATIC WEAPONS! ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE CRIMINALS! And they are usually not here to play nice! But to take advantage! I would be willing to stand a line, taking my turn. AND I truly believe most all patriotic citizens would do the same! If they possess the skills to do so. I would be doing this for mine, myself, my friends and the rest of patriotic Americans! EXCEPT THE DEMOCRAPS! THEY NEED TO BE EXPUNGED! TIME TO VOTE THEIR PARTY INTO OBLIVION!
How much longer will the true US Patriots and their extended family members who have bled and died fighting wars in distant lands protecting the rights of their citizens tolerate the juvenile behavior of “Drain the Swamp”; the true destroyers from within of our Elected Representative Republic. In the “universe” of these deranged “hard core long serving sociopaths only “money” and absolute power over their long suffering tax paying “worker bees” have meaning. If in the business world of creating “consumer products” for profit were not operated on an annual zero based budget but instead, unlike the federal government, that consistently operate on the planned doubling the federal budget every (7) year cycle explains to “we the tax paying voters” the how and why these self anointed “public servants” can never and will never ever balance our federal budget. It is not an integral part of their thought process. These misguided creatures of “The Swamp” count their success on two things; how can we fool them today and their creative ways to craft legislation designed to maximize “pork barrel” spending in their back home election district. These electorate of We the People have been playing this game for over some 60 years but this past election cycle has seen a new introduction of an extreme and troubling entry of entities total foreign to domestic elections; the rise of a selected few individuals former residents of known enemy nation states but now citizens of our country who are actually advocating political concepts and positions against our Constitution, Rule of Law and Freedom of the Individual. Obviously they do not subscribe to become active members of our “Melting Pot” but remain enemies oft he state. lee1233
I want to have the democrats audited by the IRS. I want 10 years of financial records, of them their children and grandchildren. I mean all of their spending and where the money came from. Bribes, kickbacks, which cartels donated to their campaigns, the whole thing. If they have nothing to hide they won’t mind.
I wonder if the politicians know that they are playing with fire. A few months ago, it would have been inconceivable that people would be posting suggestions that we mine the border. Unfortunately, as the border situation deteriorates and Congress does nothing about it, these kinds of violent suggestions may become more numerous. The temperature is rising and Congress is complacent. We’re beginning to see the types of things that lead to a socialist takeover of the government. It looks a lot like the beginnings of the Soviet Union or the rise of Nazism in Germany.
Shame on us if we don’t vote next year, because if the (d)s take the Presidency and the Senate, these illegals WILL be voting!
