Radio Ads Offer to Help Illegal Aliens Get Into U.S.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has claimed that radio advertisements in Central America are encouraging a wave of migrants to come to the U.S. for the “American dream.”

During a ride-along tour of the southern border in El Paso, Texas, Assistant Chief Patrol Jose Martinez told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo that “the word is definitely out” among would-be immigrants.

“You listen to your radio on the way to work, on your way to the grocery store and that country is advertising, ‘If you want the American dream, we’ll help you out, we’ll teach you how to get in the United States,” Martinez said.

The assistant chief patrol said that the Border Patrol’s El Paso Station is “probably the busiest area in the country at the moment with illegal entries,” saying that most who cross to the U.S. are coming from the “Northern Triangle” of Central America — Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — as well as from Cuba and Nicaragua. . .

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan, who is also serving as acting secretary of Homeland Security, said last month that there is “an unprecedented humanitarian and border security crisis all along our Southwest border, and nowhere has that crisis manifested more acutely than here in El Paso.” (Read more from “Radio Ads Offer to Help Illegal Aliens Get Into U.S.” HERE)
