Is the Border Crisis Coming to a Town Near You?
We have a crisis at the border! The illegal immigration of aliens under 18 is up an astounding 367% at the Rio Grande Valley since 2011. The Obama Administration has systematically sidetracked and derailed enforcement through numerous “executive memos” designed to gut deportations and border apprehensions.
The map below shows where those illegal aliens are crossing the Texas border at a estimated rate of 1,000 per day, where they are being flown at taxpayer expense to be processed, locations they are being released into the public and the projected locations where the Obama Administration plans to place unaccompanied minors into shelters managed by the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement.
