Post-Election Border Patrol Surge in South Texas Hopes to Contain Record New Arrivals

    EDINBURG, Texas — Transferred border patrol agents have begun processing the increasing number of illegal immigrants who continue to arrive to this border region. The arrival of the 150 agents comes after accusations flew that U.S. Customs and Border Protection had been trying to downplay the problems at the southern border for the U.S. Presidential election.

    Breitbart Texas reported last week about the announcement of the 150 agents who are being deployed from the Tucson, Del Rio and San Diego sectors to assist with the processing of illegal immigrants who turn themselves in or are captured by authorities. As revealed by U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, the numbers of apprehensions jumped from 39,501 in September to 46,195 in October.
