Border Patrol Official: Congress at Fault for Massive Caravan

National Border Patrol Council Vice President Hector Garza Thursday blamed Congress for a massive migrant caravan that is reportedly making its way through Mexico toward the United States' southern border.

“This caravan is no accident," Garza told Fox News' "Fox and Friends." "It’s actually the result of all these sanctuary policies. It’s the result of Congress not acting and continuing to encourage illegal immigration.”

The new caravan is estimated to contain up to 10,000 migrants, reports Fox, and Garza said the movement is happening because migrants are taking advantage of how the United States' immigration system processes people seeking asylum.
