Former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson: ‘200,000 People in 2 Months on Our Southern Border Is a Crisis’
 

(CNSNews.com) - Former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, who served during the Obama administration, told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on Wednesday that there is a “crisis” on the southern border, but he cautioned against suspending aid to Central America or closing the border.

He said that what DHS faced in 2014 is “a fraction of what we’re seeing today.”

“We had 100,000 apprehensions or encounters in the month of March, another 100,000 in the month of April. That’s the highest it’s been in 12 years, and think of it this way, that is the equivalent of the population of the city of Orlando, Florida showing up on our southern border in the course of two months,” Johnson said.
