Things have officially gotten much worse.
The United States Customs and Border Protection Agency will begin releasing some illegal immigrant detainees — particularly those who have crossed the border with their families — because they are running out of places to house the thousands of migrants per month who are captured jumping the border, or who present themselves seeking asylum.
ABC News reports that at least 50 illegal immigrants have been released already, and more are expected to be given paper notices with court dates and sent to stay with family members in the U.S. Most of the releases are set to take place along Mexico’s border with Texas, particulalry near El Paso and McAllen — two major crossing points.
The releases are being done “to mitigate risks to both officer safety and vulnerable populations under these circumstances,” a CBP spokesperson told reporters.
“Normally, the Border Patrol would transfer the migrants to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be ‘processed’ and in many cases placed in detention facilities. But officials said that both agencies have run out of space due to a recent influx of Central American families,” the LA Times added.
The space constraints have led to overwhelmed CPB and ICE agents, but also to dangerous conditions for migrants. In some of the most crowded border patrol detention facilities in Texas, communicable diseases like the mumps have run rampant, infecting hundreds of people recently arrived in migrant caravants from Central America. Other immigrants have arrived with the flu, dehydration, and health problems contracted on the journey through Mexico.
Providing beds for incoming migrants is difficult enough, but the border patrol has now found itself in the position of becoming a medical services provider, which it isn’t equipped or experienced enough to do well.
The sheer numbers are also incredible. The Department of Homeland Security Chief Kirstjen Nielsen told Congress in early March that she anticipates CBP will process at least 100,000 illegal immigrants — mostly asylum seekers — in the month of March.
In February, the LA Times reports, border patrol caught 66,450 migrants, a 38% increase from January, and a 210% increase from the same period in 2018. “More than half of those arrested,” the outlet added, “were parents and children, and 40 percent of those were in the Rio Grande Valley.”
The Trump administration has repeatedly said there is a crisis along the border, and the numbers seem to back up the administration’s assessment, even though far fewer illegal immigrants are coming through the border now than ten years ago, at the height of illegal immigration.
Strangely enough, immigrant rights groups are angry about the releases, and claim that the administration is trying to create an “artificial” crisis at the border by releasing detainees into the care of non-profits and advocacy groups that insist there is no need for further work on a border wall or more funds necessary for immigration interdiction. But CPB says this is just the reality — they’ve simply run out of room.

What is the use in having a border patrol if the have top release illegals into the USA.
Something is very wrong here and should be fixed immediately, otherwise all the illegals will surrender tol the border patrol knowing that is a free ticket to the USA.
Stop then from crossing and if do cross then dump them back into Mexico who allowed them to cross their country s\nd helped them to arrive at our border
It is very wrong BECAUSE logical attempts have been rejected > not the border patrols fault, they have repeatedly spelled it out BUT Congress has constantly refused to help or recognize the crisis/need~ go figure.
Why aren’t they sending them back to Mexico? They don’t belong in this country, they are invaders.
And demorats insist there is No crisis at the border? WTH.
So, you lame democrapic fools … I suppose you will read this latest development and still pontificate that there is “no crisis” and that this whole matter is “manufactured”. Your partie is good at denying the truth, which is the core principle of a group that is in DENIAL.
PRESIDENT TRUMP is building the WALL to completion, whether you like it or not. Then likely he will be forced to bolster the program with Army & Marine troops. THAT is the true state of affairs, you dummies. And then you can sit back and say to yourselves, “…. well, we should have —- ” Hope you are proud of yourselves.
But here is the payoff: our nation’s safety and security WILL BE STRENGTHENED by THIS WALL, and then long range? Wellll, you can kiss the 2020 election GOODBYE. And who did it to you ? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, that is who.
But yet there’s no problem!
So here we go again. We finally have a President in charge that is trying to protect us and just what Soros has planned to overwhelm our borders – has happened! So now they come with diseases and are put in among the rest of us! We won but we lost!
Please do not release into US
Don’t release them — deport them.
Very first thing that came to my mind. I used to work for a security company that had the contract for doing just that! Sure as HELL don’t want’em here!!!
REVOLUTION will be the needed SOLUTION – GUARANTEED! This treacherous insanity MUST be stopped!
The Democrats have already lost big time in the 2020 elections with their not doing anything to stop this invasion at our borders and there are a great many more reasons why there party will lose!!! These Democrats have shown us all just how devious and deceitful they really are, and that they have no shame or ethical standards whatsoever!!!! They haven’t got one ounce of patriotism in their party, they lie, cheat, steal, and tax us all to death with their unconstitutional policies and acts!!!! I don’t know how any American can’t see what these Democrats are doing for their doing nothing to protect are borders and are wanting to kill babies at birth, and are taking over our school systems teachings with perversions being taught to our children, and are attacking our religions are history, are traditions, and our freedom of speech, and literally attacking our constitutional rights!!!! We all must fight back with getting rid of this party once and forever!!!! Are country became the greatest country ever because of our constitution and our laws and the rights that was we were given!!!! Let’s face it these Democrats are after only one thing and the first thing is votes anyway they can get them, and I mean in anyway cheat, lie, bribe, for greed and power is what they are all about and damn the citizens of ur country for this is just the way they think, and the border means nothing to them because these immigrants are their new voters they are hoping for why do you think they are already trying to give these illegals the right to vote???
Shut down the border. If there are necessities for Americans that must come through, let that through but nothing else until this stops !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Release them the other way, or the U.S. is gone.

It is ridiculous that so many people are in the RGV of Texas. Hopefully someone will stop the Madness! May be cheaper to lease a plane to fly them to each state that voted against the Wall!!👍🏼❤️🇺🇸🇨🇱
As I see it there’s only one thing left to do and that is for American Citizens, who feel strongly enough, to take matters into their own hands and start “eliminating” these invaders.
yes Bill Cash is correct…
the wholeproblem is caused by the lawyers in congress..once you step foot into the USA you can stay..dumb!!! stop all rentan payments and food stamps..don’t give them any help…
one pass with a helo with a minigun along the border ,we’d never see another illegal immigrant ,probably get odds in vegas .pretty harsh ,but ?????
