According to new Border Patrol statistics and projections, while the surge will likely be smaller this year, Border Patrol is expecting to catch about 39,000 unaccompanied children and about 53,000 families on the southern border in 2015.
If the projections are correct, it would represented a 43 percent decrease in unaccompanied children and a 23 percent decrease in families compared to last year, but even with the projected decline, the number of families crossing the border illegally would be more than triple the number who crossed in 2013, the Times said.
More than half of those crossing appear to be coming through the Rio Grande Valley, which saw a decrease of 17 percent since the same time last year, Border Patrol reported.
"I don't think the conditions in those countries have changed to stop the push" for families and children to immigrate to the U.S., Bryan Johnson, a New York-based lawyer who works for immigrant youth and families, told the Times.

Other countries need to be told to stop them. If not then we need to sanction them. Take away aid!
How the hell does the border patrol know how many people come across when Obama pulled them back 45 miles from the border?
I agree with taking away their foreign aide. Also at the checkpoint have two water slides. One to the US for Lawful entry and one back to Mexico for illegals. A joy ride that only reveals where it ends after it is to late.
Turn them back. Period.
You wanna stop the flow of illegals?
Place a Browning M2 50 cal. machine gun every half mile on the border and troops with shoot to kill orders.
Problem solved in 2 days, very easily I might add.
