Over 650 illegal migrants crossing southern border detained in AZ

Thousands of U.S. troops at the southern border are waiting for the caravan of migrants to arrive. Border agents, however, in Arizona, have already detained 654 of them in just two days this week in the Yuma Sector, mostly reportedly being family units or unaccompanied minors from Guatemala.

Officials don't believe these illegal migrants are associated with the large caravan of mostly Central American potential lawbreakers who think they can just come here and get jobs and/or benefits from our taxpayer money. Worse, they make it more difficult for honest refugees who need to seek asylum because they flood the system.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said that a group of 55 Central Americans waded across the Colorado River near Yuma [where there is a USMC Air Station, or MCAS Yuma] and surrendered to agents after walking around vehicle barriers.

"Larger numbers [of illegal migrants[ have started to illegally cross shallow portions of the Colorado River near Yuma," an official press release said.

Vinny Dulesky, special operations supervisor for Yuma Sector public affairs, told Fox News on Thursday that most of the illegals came through the east side of the port of entry and did so by cutting through their metal fence to cross in.

So they came well-prepared and prepared as well to damage government property. Vinny said he didn't know the extent of the damage to the fences, but thought fixing them could cost over $1,600 for each one. The illegal migrants know they'll not have to pay the cost and the taxpayers can go screw themselves as far as they're concerned.

CBP said apprehensions in this area are up over 150 percent compared to last year at this time, and more than 3,600 illegals were apprehended in October alone.

Dulesky said the tactics of the illegal migrants have changed. "Instead of trying to avoid us, they are running to us, and claim asylum," he said. "By doing that, it keeps them in the country longer."

According to CBP stats, 60,745 foreigners, most of them good, some of them bad 'hombres' were apprehended or were deemed inadmissible while trying to cross the border into the U.S. illegally via the southern border in October, the first month of the fiscal year 2019--compared to 34,871 in the same month this year.

This is unacceptable and needs to be stopped.
