Illegal Alien Families Entering US at ‘Record’ Rate
Statistics released by Border Patrol this morning indicate that illegal immigrant families are now crossing into the United States at a record rate. The Border Patrol reports that more than 32,000 family units have been caught trying to enter the United States, which according to the Washington Times is “nearly a 40 percent” increase from 2014.
Stephen Dinian, writing for the Washington Times:
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson had thought he’d licked the problem two years ago, after surging manpower to the border. And indeed the numbers did drop in late 2014 and early 2015.
But the pace of both families and unaccompanied children picked up last summer, just as Mr. Johnson announced new relaxed rules for detaining illegal immigrants, and it has remained high ever since.
This report follows another report from Conservative Review’s Daniel Horowitz that revealed 80% of Central American children flooding the Southern border are being housed with fellow illegal aliens.
Horowitz will discuss the implications of rampant illegal immigration for United States citizens in his new book “Stolen Sovereignty,” out this July. (For more from the author of “Illegal Alien Families Entering US at ‘Record’ Rate” please click HERE)
