EDINBURG, Texas (KVEO) — In the past two months alone, U.S. Border Patrol agents have found more than 3,500 unaccompanied children in the Rio Grande Valley Sector.

This data shows a sharp increase from just a few months ago.

“We had a group that was comprised of children, we had a 1-year-old, two 3-year-olds, a 7-year-old and a 12-year-old,” said Lloyd Easterling, Deputy Chief Patrol Agent in Charge of the Border Patrol Rio Grande Valley Sector.

That group of children was found alone in the middle of the night in 30-degree weather. But, why the increase? Agents say it’s a tactic.

“It’s heart-wrenching. … It’s another one of those times, that it’s so alarming children that young would be out there put in the elements, but we see it,” Easterling said.

Easterling says these children are arriving in family groups, then they’re caught with their families and they are sent back across the border.

“Next thing you know they end up on the riverbank with a phone number on their shirt.

Two or three days after we catch them, we catch the same parent we found them with last time, but with a different group, so we’re seeing separation happening by themselves to improve of their chances across the border,” Easterling explained.

Some of the youngest children found wandering alone are just months old. Easterling says agents routinely see toddlers, 1-, 2- and sometimes 3-year-olds. Sometimes, these children are seen in the care of their older siblings, who are not much older at 8 or 9 years old.

“Within those groups are criminal people, sex predators and that’s why it’s such a huge issue for us to see these poor children out there,” Easterling said. “First of all, it’s heart-wrenching, and secondly, they’re held in stash houses with people they don’t know and health issues that could accompany that.”

Agents say this is only the beginning as they’re anticipating more unaccompanied children and family units.

“With all the talk of DACA and amnesty, that’s one thing the smugglers are using, that language to draw people in to make money.
They don’t care what happens afterwards and that’s the worst part about it.
We’re beginning to see family units rise; we anticipate that’s going to be trending up quickly.
The numbers may not show right now, but what we see on a day-to-day basis is an increase and we are beginning to see a trend of family units more and more, and, given everything we believe is coming, we think that number will correspond up,” said Easterling.

"border report dot com"?

The fuck is that?

[dukkha]

some depraved court ruling that kids can't be sent back via REMAIN. they stick them near the border with phone numbers on their arms and papers in their clothes.
Border comes in -can't hold them -cant sent them back, so they go to the destination on their arms

Rulings like this and Biden's mass amnesty due to ending REMAIN are driving the increase of kids and
expected more family units

gawd forbid you ever do the Google.
Do you seriously delude yourself Fake News is going to cover this with Biden coming in??

the surge of unaccompanied minors crossing the border into the United States bespeaks the conditions that continue to tear at the fabric of families in Central America. Special immigrant juvenile status (SIJS), a classification enacted by Congress in 1990 to provide a pathway to legal permanent residence for undocumented minors abandoned or neglected by their parents, is a source of hope for many of these young migrants. In a political climate in which anti-immigration sentiment is increasing, advocates for unaccompanied minors are detecting new sources of judicial and administrative resist-ance to SIJS. This article maps this shifting legal terrain and argues that it is at odds with Congress’s intent that SIJS be used to remove children from harm’s way, no matter their citizenship status.

Now are they the Ebola inflicted kids ISIS is sending that Louie Gohmert warned us about or the or M13 Covid infected kids Louie Gohmert warned us about?q

“Jerome” has a point, what is the “border report” and why should anyone take it serious? Your Georgetown article is two years old and is discussing a completely different development than your “border report” narrative. I believe you are the one “deluding yourself” with “Fake News”

Your OP has nothing to do with this, and you're not sufficiently educated on the background of immigration law, and the history of emigration from Central America to have a discussion about this.

You should stick to Call of Duty or whatever the fuck it is you do with your stupid brain when you're not trolling here with unattributed, right-wing garbage.

Kids in Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, etc., are frequently the target of terrorism from the Narco-states there. Their parents want their kids to have good lives (fucking libtard bullshit, amirite?), so they send their kids to the U.S. in the hope that their child won't be raped/murdered/enslaved by narco terrorists.

Fuck them, right?

Anyway, tomorrow we can delve into the history of how the United States enabled these Narco-states and the narco-terrorism they produce, and why therefore the U.S. immigration laws should be part of the solution rather than just Stephen Miller's wet-dream of Mexican border genocide.

Gawd Almighty -cant anyone connect the dots around here anymore?

Special immigrant juvenile status (SIJS),

is the basis for the court ruling ( I think)
that forces Border Patrol to bring them into he USA -instead of REMAIN in Mexico

The numbers are up.
I get you are unwilling to believe -I don't feel like playing Doubting Thomas to to show you move evidence/proof
