• CBP El Paso Processing Center will reduce wait times for children, families: Officials

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) - The U.S. Border Patrol has confirmed that more than 700 Central American migrants were detained by agents in El Paso on Wednesday.

Several large groups of migrants illegally crossed into the United States since midnight. They entered the country between Yarbrough and the Union Depot area, a Border Patrol spokesman said.

Since the beginning of 2019, groups of more than 100 migrants have routinely crossed into the country and voluntarily surrendered to agents.

Antelope Wells, New Mexico is one of the most common areas migrants have crossed in large groups.

Earlier this week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said these large groups are diversions for drug smugglers. As Border Patrol agents deal with families and children, smugglers are sneaking across the border, he said.

"The message from the smuggling organizations to parents in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Savaldor is clear: If you bring a child you will gain entry into the United States and you will be allowed to stay," McAleenan said.

CBP is expected to build a Centralized Processing Center in El Paso as the majority of migrants being detained are children and families.

Yep, let's get these folks released into our interior as soon as possible .... to never be heard from again.

Reduce wait times by loading them on a bus within 24 hours and ship them back home!

We cannot take in entire countries and pay for them out of our wallets!!!

This is an invasion and this is war!
