Top US official says border is 'still in crisis,' even as Mexico steps up its assistance
By Charles Creitz | Fox News
 
The crisis at America's southern border is continuing, even as Mexico steps up enforcement measures to help, according to a top U.S. official.

The number of migrants apprehended at the border dropped for the month of June, but that figure is on track to cross the million mark by the end of the year, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Deputy Commissioner Robert Perez said Thursday on "Special Report." He called that projected figure "unprecedented."

"We're still in the crisis. Even with what we're expecting the July numbers to show, which is still another 20 percent drop ... from last month, that's still 80,000 apprehensions along our southern border.
