Hundreds of Illegal Aliens Continue to Surge Across the Border

 

EDINBURG, TX – McAllen Border Patrol Station (MCS) agents remained busy this weekend as they encountered three large groups of families and unaccompanied alien children, each group was more than 100 people.

On Saturday, MCS agents working near Havana, Texas, encountered a group of more than 145 illegal aliens.  Hours later, another 108 illegal aliens were apprehended near La Joya, Texas. Yesterday morning, agents working near Hidalgo, Texas, arrested a third group consisting of 116 people.  In total, the three groups consisted of nearly 300 family members and unaccompanied alien children, single adults rounded out the rest of the groups. Agents determined the subjects are citizens of El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Belize.

RGV agents have encountered 25 groups of more than 100 people illegally entering the country this calendar year. March has been a very active month for RGV, as illegal alien apprehensions thus far have surpassed February’s total number.

Even with the spread of the COVID-19 virus, human smugglers continue to try these brazen attempts with zero regard for the lives they endanger nor to the health of the citizens of our great nation.  The U.S. Border Patrol agents of the Rio Grande Valley Sector will continue to safeguard the nation and community against these criminal elements.

This is 100% on President biden's head. Now the White House refuses to call this a crises. biden is so concerned about citizens wearing masks but, it's ok for thousands of  unmasked and untested illegals to walk into our country. This administration is claiming it inherited a broken immigration system. Of course they did it's been broken for several decades. At least President Trump had the illegal immigration squeezed down to a small fraction of what's happening now. President biden has trashed all those efforts in just a few short weeks.
