Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost: Family Units from 52 Countries Have Illegally Crossed the Border
(CNSNews.com) – U.S. Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost told Congress Thursday that in addition to the Central American countries that make up the Northern Triangle, illegal immigrants from 52 countries have illegally crossed the U.S. southern border.
“Smugglers falsely advertise a safe journey to the border, misleading families that anyone who arrives with a child will not be deported under current U.S. policies. While smugglers primarily target the Northern Triangle, family units from 52 countries have illegally crossed the southern border so far this year, Provost said during opening testimony at a House Homeland Security subcommittee hearing.
