Border Patrol Encountered at Least 12,600 Migrants on Monday, Eagle Pass Crossing Turns Deadly
The thing is, the number would actually be a lot higher, but the agents could not process all of the migrants in Eagle Pass, TX.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced its agents encountered at least 12,600 migrants on Monday, setting a new record that hit only two weeks ago.
NEW! Government numbers obtained from Border Patrol show yesterday had the most-ever immigrants encountered at the southern border: 14,509. This is a phenomenon like we’ve never seen before.

The thing is, the number would actually be a lot higher, but the agents could not process all of the migrants in Eagle Pass, TX.
“The official numbers yesterday include over 11,000 Border Patrol apprehensions of illegal immigrants and more than 1,600 migrants encountered at CBP ports of entry,” wrote Bill Melugin on Twitter.
BREAKING: Per CBP sources, there were more than 12,600 migrants encountered at the southern border in the last 24 hours, the highest single day total ever recorded. The true number is *significantly* higher because there are thousands still waiting to be processed in Eagle Pass…

NewsNation’s Jorge Ventura reported that Eagle Pass has become “one of the deadliest crossing points on the southern border.”
Border patrol witnesses at least one drowning a day in the Rio Grande.
Migrants have to swim across it to enter Texas.

NewsNation’s Ali Bradley is on the case this morning in Lukeville, AZ, the top crossing point in the Tucson sector.
Bradley found around 300 migrants waiting to travel to a processing center. The ones she spoke to came from Guinea, Bangladesh, and India. They want to go to Milwaukee, Florida, and New York.
The agents cannot take them to the Ajo station since it’s maxed out. They’ll take the migrants to the Yuma station, but they won’t get a court date for 2-6 years.
This is ridiculous.

AZ: This large group is walking to the first camp so it’s easier to transport them—This road is extremely rough, buses and vans have a hard time getting out to this location.
Migrants are happy to stop and tell me where they are from—The majority are from Guinea.

CBP closed railway crossings at international crossing points in Eagle Pass and El Paso on Monday due to migrants using the trains to enter the country.
Union Pacific is not happy. It will affect the supply chain:
- Agricultural products (grain held in six Midwest states)
- Food and beverages (beer and dry food products)
- Automotive (finished vehicles and parts)
- Consumer goods
- Industrial commodities (metals and cement)
Roughly 45% of all rail cars moving to and from Mexico cross through El Paso and Eagle Pass – there isn’t enough capacity at the other four gateways to reroute them. Union Pacific urges the Eagle Pass and El Paso border crossings be reopened immediately. This is impacting:

This is insane and it looks like a conspiracy to wreck America.
A few more people and it will look like a Donald Trump rally.
This is THE reason there are tons of American citizens at a Donald Trump rally.
I don’t know about that. He promised to BUILD THE WALL! the last time around but didn’t deliver.
It wasn’t from lack of trying and he did get some of it done. You might want to review how much crap from the usual suspects he had to deal with to get the wall built.
Can these immigrants sue the US Government for failure to provide adequate agents to properly process everyone. These immigrants likely had to sleep outdoors rather than in a 4 star NYC hotel
“Encountered at Least 12,600 Migrants”
Those aren’t migrants.
Give them all one way free bus tickets to LA. Gov newscum promising free hotel rooms and medical insurance. CA rapidly becoming 3rd world, with limousine libs who need them to clean toilets and pick the crop.
