Smugglers Continue Use of Large Migrant Groups to Distract Border Patrol at Texas Border

Breitbart:

Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents continue to see the use of “large migrant groups” as a tactic by smugglers to distract and tie-up agents. This week, agents apprehended two large groups totaling nearly 250 Central American migrants.

McAllen Border Patrol Station agents encountered a large group of migrants who illegally crossed the border on Sunday near Hidalgo, Texas. The agents responding to the incident reported a group of 100 migrants from Central and South America, according to information obtained from Rio Grande Sector Border Patrol officials. The group consisted of family units, unaccompanied alien children, and single adults who traveled to the U.S. from Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

Border Patrol defines a “large group” as 100 or more migrants who cross illegally in a single incident.

Later in the week, McAllen Station Border Patrol agents again encountered a large group crossing near Los Ebanos, Texas. The agents received a report of the group walking north from the Rio Grande on Wednesday. Agents responded to the scene and took 146 migrants into custody. Officials report the large group consisted of family units, unaccompanied minors, and single adults who traveled to the U.S. from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

Border Patrol officials previously stated that smugglers utilize large groups to tie up Border Patrol resources in an area. This tactic allows smugglers to move drugs and other “high value” migrants who do not wish to surrender across the border while the agents are tied up processing the large groups. more

  1. Process hell. Just load them on school bus style prison buses with a multi-gender port-a-potty mounted in the bus. Add 5 marines for escorts across our Southern Border at which point 5 Mexican marines are added to the escort crew. At this point they are driven non-stop to Mexico’s Southern Border where they are escorted by gun point, using the Mexican marines across that border where Guatemala will be forced to escort them further south due to the overload there. It will take them at least a few years to collect enough money (from their ILLEGAL relatives) already here, to pay the Coyotes before they try again. By this time much more of the wall will be built & laws will be changed / enacted to stop them. Let the U. S. pay for the fuel & maintenance of those buses which will be much cheaper than housing them in the detention camps here.
