    Border Patrol Spread Thin by ‘Humanitarian Crisis’ at Arizona Border

    Border Patrol officials in the Tucson and Yuma Sectors say human smugglers are raking in profits while risking the lives of migrants moving in escalated numbers into Arizona.

    Despite increased enforcement efforts, a summer of record-breaking temperatures, and other dangers inherent to the Arizona desert, human smugglers are crossing large numbers of migrant families and unaccompanied children into the U.S. Multiple areas along the border, including the Yuma and Ajo corridors, are being exploited, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials.

    “This is a humanitarian crisis that is impacting border security,” Yuma Sector Chief Patrol Agent Anthony Porvaznik said in a written statement. “Criminal entities are lining their pockets while exploiting a vulnerable population, filling our stations and diverting our national security efforts.”

    Officials say the new smuggling operations are a dangerous break from the past when migrant families and children would present themselves at ports of entry to request asylum. They are now being moved through remote areas of the desert where no physical barriers, or ineffective barriers, are in place to prevent illegal crossings.

    “With no regard for the safety and well-being of these families, smugglers put their bottom line before human decency,” Joint Task Force West, Arizona Commander Rodolfo Karisch stated. “Tuesday we sent agents out to rescue 61 of these individuals from rising flood waters; and Wednesday, shortly after crossing the border, a mother in one of these groups passed away in front of her son.”

    Human smugglers in northern Mexico are apparently learning from cartels operating south of the Rio Grande Valley and Laredo Sectors that when the border is flooded with migrant families and unaccompanied minors, Border Patrol resources are stressed. Cartels are then able to smuggle drugs and other “high-value human cargo” across the border with a greater opportunity for success.

    During the past six weeks, Commander Karisch reports the following large groups of illegal immigrants apprehended in the Yuma and Tucson Sectors:

    Oct. 2 — Yuma Sector encountered 164 adults and children west of the San Luis Port of Entry.
    Sept. 25 — Ajo Station Border Patrol agents encountered 264 adults and children west of the Lukeville Port of Entry.
    Sept. 20 — Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents encountered 275 adults and children, 20 of whom had to be transported to the hospital to be treated for a range of conditions including: back and ankle injuries, lacerations, lice infestation, and impetigo.
    Sept. 16 — Ajo Station Border Patrol agents encountered 193 adults and children west of the Lukeville Port of Entry.
    Sept. 8 — Ajo Station Border Patrol agents encountered 121 adults and children near the Senita Basin north of Lukeville.
    Sept. 4 — Ajo Station Border Patrol agents encountered 163 adults and children west of Lukeville’s Port of Entry.
    Aug. 28 — Ajo Station Border Patrol agents encountered 103 adults and children west of Lukeville’s Port of Entry.
    Aug. 20 — Ajo Station agents encountered 128 illegal immigrants who had been abandoned by their smugglers.

    Officials say the majority of migrants came to the U.S. illegally from Guatemala. They are reportedly headed to locations in Charleston, South Carolina; Oakland, California; and Homestead, Florida.

    CBP officials interviewed the migrants and found similarities in persons encountered and their stated reasons for coming to the United States. “They are lied to by smugglers who make promises of assistance, financial gain, and protected immigration status,” officials stated. “According to migrants, smugglers are using coercive tactics to profit from vulnerable families.”

    Implement Judy's Plan B.

    Judy's Plan B:

    Tell all these countries, if your citizens don't stop entering our country illegally, then your country will have no aid from or trade with the United States.


    These countries all know who these scum bag smugglers are, they know their bankers, they know the cartels who employ them, they know the whole 9 yards. It is absolutely incumbent upon our government to give notice of economic sanctions against these countries if they don't immediately thwart this smuggling and human trafficking immediately.

    Get our troops on the border now!

    This is WAR...this is an invasion facilitated by Mexico!

    Put Mexico and Central America on the Travel Ban List!

    They cannot come here!
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL

    Yep, deserts, mountains, and rivers won't stop them. That's why we need the physical wall Trump campaigned on!

    Your way won't do anything but increase illegal immigration and asylum seekers! Common sense dictates that if you make their life even more miserable than it already is, more will seek to exit the situation that is making them miserable.

    Their lives aren't "miserable". This is Mexico and Central American countries, flush with drug money, oil money, all types of money. These people aren't coming here because they're "miserable", they're coming here to take over our country, they pay these smugglers thousands of dollars cash to come here, that's more money that most Americans have on hand.

    You need to do your homework.

    There is no reasoning with the unreasonable. Sorry, but your logic is flawed on this.

    You're wrong. Nothing you've wanted have you gotten, because you can't get it. Here's something we can get, and you oppose it. You call yourself "reasonable", I would call it something else.

    Secure the borders. How do they enter the same place over and over again?

    Stop letting them enter. Get border patrol on the border. Do not allow open border thinking agents and judges to make decisions.

    Repeating this - Too many getting in and being spread around the country. Not near enough are being deported. Our nation is spilling over with illegal aliens.

    Democrats see 20-30 million new voters. Illegal alien numbers are growing in key voting states. Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, elsewhere.

    This isn't about supporting or opposing, it's about logic and reasoning. There's a reason your idea has never even been whispered as a consideration from Washington. It's non-workable. I can't really "oppose" something that's not really a logical plan to begin with.
