"Border Control" Has No Control, So Why Call It That?

The situation for the Border Patrol on the Mexico border is going from bad to worse. Deputy Chief Ronald Vitiello warns the White House, last week's calculation of the number of unaccompanied minors crossing into the United States was too low. He's upped the estimate from 60,000 this year to 90,000. He says next year the number could hit more than 140,000. Vitello's memo to the National Security Council was obtained by the Associated Press. It describes an overwhelmed Border Patrol having to fly some migrants out of Texas to other border states where agents aren't as busy.
