WASHINGTON – Homeland Security said today that “family units” along the Southwest U.S. border are up bigly – 38% from July – and are the “highest August on record.”
Today, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Press Secretary Tyler Q. Houlton released the following statement on U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Southwest Border Migration numbers for August:
“August Southwest Border Migration numbers show a clear indicator that the migration flows are responding to gaps in our nation’s legal framework. While the overall numbers are consistent with an expected seasonal increase, the number of family units along the Southwest border increased 38 percent – 3,500 more than July and the highest August on record. Smugglers and traffickers understand our broken immigration laws better than most and know that if a family unit illegally enters the U.S. they are likely to be released into the interior. Specifically, DHS is required to release families entering the country illegally within 20 days of apprehension.
“We know that the vast majority of family units who have been released, despite having no right to remain in any legal status, fail to ever depart or be removed. Through the third quarter of FY 2018, only 1.4 percent of family units have been repatriated to their home country from noncontiguous countries such as El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
“Secretary Nielsen and this Administration are committed to using all resources available to gain operational control of the U.S. border, to uphold our nation’s immigration laws as passed by Congress, and to work with Congress to fix this broken system.”

Rewrite: Bigly, really, who composes headlines with words like “bigly!”
kill’em all go Trump
After we build the wall we need to throw dumocrats and FNN over it to the wolves they created ! And completely drain the swamp.
That sounds like Heaven
I don’t give a rats ass about the Mexicans, the Muslims, nor the Chinese, nor the Israelite, Nor black Africa’s woes, now let’s see did I miss one. Oh yeah, those Europeans too. You got a country why don’t you just stay there. Oh yeah, miss those godless Hindu from India also. All I care about are Americans. So take your countries values and ideals and shove it right back down your pie hole. The world has changed since ‘give us your tired masses’ of the past. We can no longer afford to live in that past. It’s to dangerous out there in the world right now. So if you go on a vacation over there and like it so much. Just stay there. Globalization my ass.
And when the giant blue wave engulfs the nation after stunning wins by Democrats all will be right as rain. Hillary and company will be right back in the action for a 2020 bid. What will happen then if they get totally crushed by widespread defeat. Will they listen then and build the wall or continue their media circus of stupidity. Never has there been so much hate and underhanded crap been done to this one guy, Mr President, Donald Trump. They have no shame. Sore losers every last one of them. “It’s all about meeeeeeeeeeeeeee.” Biggest lying sack of sh!ts ever in America’s history. And that is putting it mildly. Just build the wall and stop the whining.
Bodie/Nada Racist will take care of them.
Time to start executing them immediately.
Build the WALL!

And Mexico will pay for it……….Big Trump Lie!
They already are you Dumb Ass. New Trade deal!
