Even the NYT admits that the U.S./Mexico border is in crisis due to the overwhelming number of immigrants trying to gain entrance.

;For the fourth time in five months, the number of migrant families crossing the southwest border has broken records, border enforcement authorities said Tuesday, warning that government facilities are full and agents are overwhelmed.
More than 76,000 migrants crossed the border without authorization in February, more than double the levels from the same period last year and approaching the largest numbers seen in any February in the last 12 years.
“The system is well beyond capacity, and remains at the breaking point,” Kevin K. McAleenan, commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, told reporters in announcing the new data.
“These solutions are temporary and this situation is not sustainable,” Mr. McAleenan said. “This is clearly both a border security and a humanitarian crisis.”
Beginning for the first time in October, members of families have come to outpace apprehensions of individual adult migrants. Mr. McAleenan said the authorities believe this is a result of smugglers having effectively communicated across Central America that adults who travel with children will be allowed to enter and stay in the United States.
“Crossing with a child is a guarantee of a speedy release and an indefinite release into the United States,” Mr. McAleenan said.
Brian Hastings, the agency’s chief of law enforcement operations, said that since April 2018, border agents had detected nearly 2,400 cases in which migrants had falsely claimed to be related when they were not, or untruthfully claimed to be younger than 18.
The larger numbers and the surge into more remote areas of the border have drawn new attention to longstanding problems with medical services provided by Customs and Border Protection. Migrant families, in particular, tend to arrive in urgent need of medical attention, the agency said, which has strained resources and drawn agents away from their law enforcement duties.
Last year, the agency referred 12,000 border crossers to emergency rooms for care, each one requiring an agent to wait with them at the hospital and ensure they were immediately returned to federal custody upon release. The rates of hospital referrals are increasing, the agency said, with about 145 agents per day currently acting as hospital escorts. Meanwhile, cocaine seizures for the current fiscal year have already exceeded the previous one, and methamphetamine seizures have also increased, according to the agency, a situation that also is demanding staff resources.


I find it unbelievable, to say the least, that the U.S. is supposed to pay for all of the medical attention these people need. Many of them arrive at the border extremely sick, and then our Border Patrol is blamed when they die in custody - as if we were responsible for them getting sick in the first place. Why isn't Mexico stopping these people and treating them rather than allowing them to continue to our border?

The numbers are staggering. Open Border Democrats seem to want every poor person in the world to have the option to come here.

LIAR. Democrats don’t want open borders.

Np. How can you say that p.p.unless it's snark? I'm begging my democrat congresspeople to legislate on this matter in favor of some border controls. I see nothing but incredible headache if we all don't compromise. I have kids and grandkids, am older now and frankly am a bit scared. I doubt I'm alone feeling this way.

You are the target audience here for the fearmongering.

Wanting smarter immigration controls <> open borders

P.p. here who referenced fear, i.e., anxiety for USA future. Who doesn't have some fear nowadays? No I'm not "the target audience" that's nuts. I'm an educated consumer. I'm a decades contributing high income taxpayer who has voted DEM all my life minus 1 and who is very very concerned about us turning far left socialist. I've studied politics and history for years. I read all of Solzhenitsyn books as well as books on Hitler's rise to power. Very similar times if DEMS have their ways.

Each of us should object to the far left naivety on socialism for the USA. I'm no target audience, I'm an educated consumer.

Thank you for sharing your astute comments on this forum. You are the much needed voice of reason. Thank you again.

+1.

DP here, who has never voted R.

If the election is Bernie or similar vs. Trump, I will vote Trump.

And there's nothing anyone wants to do to help their home countries deal with the problems, so as to make them more safe and stable so that there would be less people fleeing. The refugees showing up at our border are a symptom, but instead they are treated as the disease, and that approach will never solve anything, because people desperate to flee will continue to do so. It's like there's broken glass on your kitchen floor and you're complaining about how many band-aids you've used and how you need shoes with thicker soles instead of even giving any consideration to sweeping the glass up. Instead we should be looking to help those countries. But we don't even want to, because they are "shitholes" not worthy of further consideration, per brilliant Trump foreign policy.

Uhh did you 2 forget about mexico who wanted to give them residency? They also had the option to travel to closer countries which are just as safe. We have central americas gangs in the US too but then again we also have the almighthy dollar that attracts them. So its greed bringing them here plain and simple.

Nope, that "Mexico offered to take them in" narrative was utter and complete bullshit. Numerous reporters and others tried following up on that and even went with refugees as they tried getting visas and legal asylum in Mexico and saw that they were getting absolutely nowhere with Mexican officials. There were many reports on this, video accounts of their attempts to get papers, et cetera. Mexico was refusing them.

Even if so, why should we except hundreds of thousands of economic dead weight migrants who don't even speak that language that they need to get employed in the US?

Your great grandparents quite likely came to America as economic migrants unable to speak the language.

You missed. I am the first generation of my family living abroad. I came here legally loaded with high potential - high education, clean criminal record, no socially dangerous diseases.
An this is how it suppose to be.
And if my grandparents would be blessed to immigrate to this country they would not have a dime of freebies that ''refugees'' get plenty of these days. They would have survives on their own the best they could - just like millions of others who immigrated back in a day. You missed again.

Wow, you are so full of bogus talking points. Illegal immigrants are ineligible for federal "freebies" and as far as diseases we have a far bigger problem with nutty US citizen antivaxxers than we do with migrants.

You have no idea how the legal immigration process works.
Every LEGAL immigrant is checked for HIV, TB, syphilitic by default, and for other spreadable deceases such as leprosy (if there is known pool in the country of origin) .
Every LEGAL immigrant is required to have a minimum $ to support each family member for a year - $12.5 K x 12 months MINIMUM. Until he finds a job.
Every LEGAL immigrant is required the proof of the clean criminal record.
Every LEGAL immigrant is required the proof of college education or a profession that is in demand in the US (floating demand).
You have no idea how the immigration law works but you have guts to speak about it, which is stupid.
Go to any low prices store such as Save a Lot and see for yourself what your beloved ''ineligible for fed benefits'' pay with for the groceries that they buy - the yellow food stamps card.
Go to any section 8 housing development in MD or MoCo and see who lives there - same ''ineligible for fed benefits''. You know how much they pay for a nice 2 br apartment? $10-$60 range a month.
Go to any school in MD and MoCo and see who's kids have free lunches and ESOL services.

You and your ilk make it very hard for legal immigrants to get processed because illegals jam immigration courts with their fake asylum claims. But guess what? Every legal immigrant in this country see what liberals are doing to them and they are not on their - your - side.

People who come to the border, seeking asylum, are NOT "illegals." Cutting aid to their home countries will not solve that problem. Building a wall will not solve that problem. Ending the Family Case Management Program did not solve that problem. Limiting the number of refugees did not solve that problem.

NOTHING TRUMP HAS DONE OR SUGGESTS ADDRESSES THE REAL ISSUES. All he does on this issue is pander to a cruel, ignorant, angry base. It's gross.

Have you urged your Congress critters to work with President Trump on the real issues? Congress legislates.

Instead we should be looking to help those countries. But we don't even want to, because they are "shitholes" not worthy of further consideration, per brilliant Trump foreign policy.

Uhh did you 2 forget about mexico who wanted to give them residency? They also had the option to travel to closer countries which are just as safe. We have central americas gangs in the US too but then again we also have the almighthy dollar that attracts them. So its greed bringing them here plain and simple.

Nope, that "Mexico offered to take them in" narrative was utter and complete bullshit. Numerous reporters and others tried following up on that and even went with refugees as they tried getting visas and legal asylum in Mexico and saw that they were getting absolutely nowhere with Mexican officials. There were many reports on this, video accounts of their attempts to get papers, et cetera. Mexico was refusing them.

Even if so, why should we except hundreds of thousands of economic dead weight migrants who don't even speak that language that they need to get employed in the US?

Your great grandparents quite likely came to America as economic migrants unable to speak the language.

You missed. I am the first generation of my family living abroad. I came here legally loaded with high potential - high education, clean criminal record, no socially dangerous diseases.
An this is how it suppose to be.
And if my grandparents would be blessed to immigrate to this country they would not have a dime of freebies that ''refugees'' get plenty of these days. They would have survives on their own the best they could - just like millions of others who immigrated back in a day. You missed again.

Wow, you are so full of bogus talking points. Illegal immigrants are ineligible for federal "freebies" and as far as diseases we have a far bigger problem with nutty US citizen antivaxxers than we do with migrants.

DP. Are migrants vaccinated? Doubtful.

South American countries enforce vaccination. I actually reviewed the statistics-it's high 90%.

Evidence?
