Alien Families, Minors Cross Border in Dramatic Numbers

Despite the intense summer heat, thousands of illegal alien minors and families risked their lives to illegally cross the U.S. border with Mexico in August.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials reported this week that the apprehension of Family Unit Aliens (FMUA) and Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) rose by 37 and 20 percent respectively. These numbers represent the fourth straight month of dramatic increases for these two categories of illegal immigration.

In August, Border Patrol agents apprehended 2,994 UACs, up from 2,481 in July (an increase of 20 percent). During that same period, agents arrested 4,645 FMUAs, up from 3,389 in July (an increase of 37 percent).

Coming here to take advantage of DACA. No way to prove how long they have been here. What we need to do is go after the scum that hire these people. That's why they come here. Because those fools give them the incentive to come here. Someone near Nithsdale hires lots of them. He is part of the illegals problem. He is partly responsible for them sneaking into our country.Maybe Trump will get his butt arrested.
