Border Patrol agents in the Yuma Sector found an adult MS-13 member hiding in a group of 61 illegal immigrants found in the desert. The gang member initially claimed to be an unaccompanied minor.

Agents assigned to the Yuma Station came upon a large group of 61 illegal immigrants who had just crossed the border Monday afternoon near the San Luis Port of Entry in southern Arizona. The illegal border crossers consisted of a single Mexican national, 59 Guatemalans, and one Salvadoran who claimed to be an unaccompanied minor, according to information provided to Breitbart Texas by Yuma Sector Public Affairs officials.

The agents transported all 61 to the Yuma Station for processing. The agents determined the person claiming to be a Salvadoran unaccompanied minor to actually be an adult. Officials identified the Salvadoran as 18-year-old Herberth Geovani Argueta-Chavez. He also admitted to being a member of Mara Salvatrucha-13 (MS-13).

Argueta-Chavez told officials “he was trying to separate from the gang.” He said he crossed the border illegally to make his way to Los Angeles, California.

Agents processed the group of 61 illegal aliens for immigration violations.

Border Patrol spokesman Justin Kallinger told Breitbart Texas that the Mexican national has been interviewed and remains under investigation. He said they are not sure if this group of 60 migrants is part of the “caravan” that is reported to be making its way from Central America to the U.S.

Kallinger noted that the Yuma Sector has seen “an uptick in larger groups,” mostly from Guatemala and Honduras.

Of those in the group of 60 migrants, more than ninety percent were unaccompanied minors or “family reunites,” he explained. The juveniles ranged in age from one-year to 17.

On April 7, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a zero-tolerance policy for people crossing the border illegally, even for the first time.

“To those who wish to challenge the Trump Administration’s commitment to public safety, national security, and the rule of law, I warn you: illegally entering this country will not be rewarded, but will instead be met with the full prosecutorial powers of the Department of Justice,” Sessions said in a written statement. “The situation at our Southwest Border is unacceptable. Congress has failed to pass effective legislation that serves the national interest—that closes dangerous loopholes and fully funds a wall along our southern border. As a result, a crisis has erupted at our Southwest Border that necessitates an escalated effort to prosecute those who choose to illegally cross our border.”

Border Patrol agents are reporting illegal border crossings by large groups of migrants. On Tuesday, agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector reported two large groups that crossed near Hidalgo, Texas, in a two-day period. The agents arrested 112 illegal immigrants including 14 Unaccompanied Alien Children. Most of the balance of the group where Family Unit Aliens from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.

In response to the massive increase in illegal border crossings, President Donald Trump called for the deployment of up to 4,000 National Guard troops.

Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona have all responded to the president’s request by committing to send nearly 2,000 guardsmen to the southern border.

“You need to understand that there is a mathematical need for this because the people coming across the border have increased dramatically,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott said on Fox and Friends Monday morning, “more than 200 percent month on month in the month of March, of what it was the year before.”

Well, I guess most of these illegal "minors" will be processed and then released to their illegal alien parents or other illegal alien relatives that claim them. If this doesn't make you want to puke up your lunch, you're either not paying attention or support our country being overrun by illegal aliens!

Treat the "minor's" as Foreign Runaways and immediately deport them back to their home country.

Let them put them in detention on THEIR soil until their family member claims them!

DO NOT HAND CHILDREN OVER TO ADULT'S IN OUR COUNTRY ILLEGALLY!!!

STOP CATCH AND RELEASE OF MINOR'S WHO ARE NOT CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY!

Well, I guess most of these illegal "minors" will be processed and then released to their illegal alien parents or other illegal alien relatives that claim them.

And monies$$$$, healthcare, dental, ESL expensive teaching - obama announced they would receive $1500 mth & a smart phone - don't know if that is the figure. But with tens of thousands a month STILL coming in that way, oh my, the budget, the budget - we have money for that? And they never leave too. Often foreign children have different strains of diseases that our children have no immunity to and they are all sitting next to our children in school.
If obama could break laws and decree daca, then trump should decree a national emergency and stop all asylums.
He issues a memo w/o immediate consequences. The emergency is NOW!

'By itself, the memo does not carry the force of law or change any official policy at the border. However, by signing it, President Trump has sent a significant directive of intent to the parts of his administration concerned with national security and immigration enforcement. The move is symbolic to an extent, but it also signals that Trump is going to add this to his agenda in the coming years. That could mean that he will begin to pressure Congress to officially change the laws…even though that will prove difficult, if the inaction over DACA and the border wall provide us with any predictive value.'

The United States is cooperating with this ongoing travesty. There is no other excuse at this point in decades of a sieve like border with Mexico. Our borders could be secure and illegal aliens can be prevented from crossing our borders.

President Trump needs to call Mexico out constantly and demand they secure their side of the border. He can get enough border patrol and military to totally secure the borders. They need to turn the illegal aliens back before they approach our border.

Mexico can stop the asylum seekers from leaving their country. This is a reason for Americans to be suspicious when we have leverage against Mexico with remittances, with taxpayer funding, with drug cartel assistance. Leave all of their problems within their nation, let them deal with it for once, and secure our borders up tight. They must be accountable for their unwanted and criminals. They can clean up their narco state, or find another relief valve in another nation.

Get a "Deplorable Boat Regatta" on the Rio Grande and keep it going all summer!

Let their illegal parents/relatives pick them up and deport them all...Who would send a 1 year old child with a coyote..

Someone who sold their children?

THEY SEND THEM HERE TO GET THEM ON THE GRAVY TRAIN.

CUT OFF ALL FREEBIES!

DEPORT THE WHOLE FAMILY!

I am hoping this "work for welfare" program is one way to get a LOT of them off the dole.

Make them self deport!

And these illegal alien DACA want in-State tuition! NO...they ARE foreign students...make them pay International Rates for their tuition like every other foreign student!

NO DACA
NO PATH TO STAY
NO MORE WORK PERMITS

WHEN WORK PERMITS EXPIRE...SELL OUT, PACK UP AND GET OUT
