When do you think she last felt this safe?

This little one endured a treacherous journey, alone & afraid. Ask HER what she thinks of the people in green.

Weak, agenda-driven narratives cannot compete with facts. These are the men & women of the USBP. See them through her eyes.

“When do you think she last felt this safe?” the chief asked. “This little one endured a treacherous journey, alone & afraid. Ask HER what she thinks of the people in green.”

During the first two months of Fiscal Year 2022, which began on October 1, 2021, Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 58,000 migrants. This represents an increase of nearly 239 percent over the same period one year earlier.

Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 1.9 million migrants who illegally crossed the southwest border with Mexico between ports of entry during 2021, Breitbart Texas reported. Another estimated half-million migrants managed to avoid apprehension and sneak into the U.S.
