WASHINGTON —

A U.S. official on Wednesday said the nation would "lose control" of its border with Mexico unless a massive and protracted surge of undocumented immigrants and asylum-seekers, primarily from Central America, is contained and reversed.

U.S. Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost issued the warning to a Senate panel while announcing an eye-popping number of migrant apprehensions: 460,294 so far in the current fiscal year, which began in October. That figure exceeds the yearly total recorded by Border Patrol in more than a decade.

Provost noted that, unlike in previous major migration periods, children, unaccompanied minors and family units constitute a substantial proportion of those reaching the U.S.-Mexico border, placing huge and unprecedented burdens on federal agencies.

I've got new for "U.S. official".  We already have lost control of the southern border, for most intents and purposes.

Not only have we lost control of our southern border, but we are very close to losing this sovereign nation.

That horse ran outta the barn a long time ago.

The real issue:
Will we ever get control back...?
