'100%' of illegal immigrant families released into U.S.: DHS

By Stephen Dinan   - The Washington Times - Thursday, May 23, 2019 

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said Thursday that “100%” of illegal immigrant families in the new border surge are being released into communities, rather than being held and deported.

He said within a month or two, they are also granted work permits, giving them a foothold to live and remain in the U.S. while their cases proceed through the immigration courts — a process that averages two years, and stretches even longer in some overwhelmed regions.

Mr. McAleenan said that system rewarding unauthorized migrants who jump the border with exactly the thing they seek is responsible for the record-breaking numbers.

“That is directly how smugglers are advertising,” he told the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

He said that applies not just to families seeking asylum.

I read that - the last two months are 111,679.  They have/are releasing all of them.
In 2012 about 10,000 traveling as families were caught by Border Patrol.  These new huge numbers have to be because Trump talked about closing the border, that these hundreds of thousands are trying to get in before it closes.  Trump never should have said what he did about totally closing the border.

Between these illegal Spanish people not speaking English and Muslims coming in this country is rapidly changing  our government and our English language.
