A recent report released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reveals that the illegal crossing of Family Unit Aliens (FMUA) and Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) increased from 13,181 in Fiscal Year 2017 year-to-date (YTD) reports to 25,911 in Fiscal Year 2018 – a 98 percent increase, according to the August Southwest Border Migration report. Yuma and Tucson Sector officials reported these classes of migrants are crossing in large numbers from Mexico into the southern Arizona desert where at least 83 migrants died during calendar year 2018.


Yuma Sector officials reported the largest increases in both FMUA and UAC categories. The apprehension of FMUAs in the Yuma Sector increased from 5,429 in FY2017 to 12,367 — a 128 percent increase, CBP officials stated. UAC apprehensions almost doubled in this sector, rising from 2,534 in FY2017 to 5,060.


During the fiscal year’s final month (September), the numbers continue to swell. Yuma Sector agents recently arrested nearly 200 migrants in the desert during a 33-hour period, Breitbart Texas reported.


Between noon on Tuesday and 9 a.m. Wednesday morning, Yuma Station agents arrested 23 groups of illegal immigrants after they crossed the border from Mexico. The 23 groups came to the U.S. from seven countries and included Family Unit Aliens (FMUA) and Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC), according to Yuma Sector Border Patrol officials.


The largest cohort came to the U.S. from Guatemala (149). Officials said that 155 persons were in family units while 18 were unaccompanied minors.


“With the 128 percent increase in family unit apprehensions and 100 percent increase in unaccompanied alien children apprehensions in Yuma Sector, compared to the same time last year, we want to emphasize the extreme hazards that accompany crossing the border illegally during the summer months.” Yuma Sector Chief Patrol Agent Anthony Porvaznik told Breitbart Texas in response to an email inquiry. “With peak days reaching close to 130 degrees, parents who are planning on crossing the border illegally need to seriously reconsider the possibly fatal dangers they will not only be subjecting themselves to, but their children as well.”


Tucson Sector officials also witnessed a doubling in the number of family units apprehended in the desert. During the first 11 months of FY2017, agents arrested 1,907 families who illegally crossed from Mexico into the U.S. This more than doubled to 3,860 during the same period in FY2018, officials reported. Unaccompanied minors actually outnumbered family units during FY2018 in this sector. Agents 4,624 UACs in FY2017 — up from 3,311 in FY2017 (a 40 percent increase).

BOOT THEM OUT!

When a voter reads an article like this, then opens an email fund raiser with (my name) in it 3 times, it is disgusting.

Don't kid yourself Junior --your father has let down the American people on his promises concerning immigration— and yes the Silent Majority is disappointed in his progress so far, and rightly so.

(my name),
Kimberly just sent me this:

Kim Don, have you looked at the latest fundraising numbers? We’re $51,284 short. Can you reach out to (my name) one last time and see if they’ll step up with a last minute contribution?

She’s so worried about not reaching this goal, (my name).
More than anything, she wants to make sure that we have the resources to ensure YOUR voice is heard at this crucial moment.
The Fake News Media is claiming that my father has let down the American people — that the Silent Majority is disappointed in his progress so far.
After traveling all across our great country, Kim and I know that isn’t true.
We know his supporters are more fired up than ever before. Now we need your help to make sure that the Swamp Monsters in Washington who are praying for a Blue Wave know it too.


Thank you,

Donald Trump, Jr.

So glad to see Donald Trump Jr helping Republicans raise money to promote Republican Congressional candidates. We need more Republicans in Congress so we have more votes to pass the bills we want on many things, especially immigration.

KEEP THE TRUMP TRAIN ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN'. VOTE REPUBLICAN IN 2018!!!!!

Mass release of migrant families being seen in Tucson, southern Arizona


"The release of about 700 migrants, generally pregnant women and parents with children, appears to be part of a national directive."

More Trump catch and release.
