Not all migrants show up at or near typical border crossings to Demand asylum (which most do not qualify for and do not receive). Many are straight out illegal aliens, as they cross in very remote areas. They’ve always done this, but there is a change going on recently with the caravan folks
Migrant families shift to dangerous desert crossings
Increasing numbers of Guatemalan families trying to enter the U.S. illegally are avoiding the most popular routes in favor of more dangerous, remote desert crossings like those used by the two children who died this month in Border Patrol custody, officials said Monday.
Most people trying to sneak into the country still use long-established routes in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley. But recently released government figures show a growing number of families crossing along the 268-mile stretch of border known as the El Paso Sector, which includes western Texas and all of New Mexico.
In November, the U.S. Border Patrol in that sector caught 11,617 people traveling in families — nearly 20 times the total during November 2017 and just over a fifth of all migrants apprehended on the southern border. The majority of those families were from Guatemala.
Kevin McAleenan, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection commissioner, told reporters Monday that the increase in migrant families was creating an “unprecedented crisis.â€
From Dec. 22 to Dec. 30 along the entire border with Mexico, the Border Patrol has referred 451 migrants — including 259 children, about half of them under age 5 — to medical providers.
“Many were ill before they departed their homes,†McAleenan said, citing cases of flu, pneumonia, tuberculosis and parasites.
Notice in that first paragraph: the parents brought the young kids across a dangerous area. The parents are putting not just themselves, but also their children, in high danger. And you can place much of the blame on members of the Democratic Party, who entice people to make the trek and make the dangerous crossing into the United States, promising all sorts of things if they just make it here. Democrats also make it harder to deport illegals, all while knowing that once released it will be much harder to find them again.
Democrats bear responsibility for any deaths that occur, and for when these illegals spread disease to Americans.
Hence, why we need a wall in remote areas. Do we want a wall, even a “beautiful” one? No. But the people sneaking into our nation and the pro-invasion Democrats have made it a necessity. Will it stop everyone? No. But, until such time comes that Democrats stop protecting illegals and agree to straight up deportation for all here illegally, it is necessary.
