Border Crisis Forces Massive Catch and Release Policy - Congress Continues to do Nothing
[Breitbart] The ongoing border crisis forced Border Patrol officials to implement a massive catch and release program where most migrants illegally crossing the border are released shortly after being processed. The policy comes as Border Patrol officials estimate that more than 100,000 migrants will be apprehended in March.

Border Patrol officials in multiple sectors announced a policy this week to being releasing thousands of migrants on their own recognizance shortly after they are apprehended at the border. The move comes in response to the massive increase of illegal border crossings by migrant families from Central America.

"This demographic is challenging in that they cannot be immediately returned to their country of origin," Del Rio Sector Border Patrol officials stated. "U.S. Border Patrol processing centers are not designed to house the current numbers of families and small children that we are encountering."

During a press conference late this week, Yuma Sector Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Carl Landrum announced a similar policy for his Arizona sector. He blamed the dramatic surge in migrant families and minors that are overwhelming his sector’s agents and resources.

"Due to capacity issues at our stations and the ongoing humanitarian crisis nationwide, Border Patrol has begun identifying detainees for potential release in Yuma with a notice to appear for their immigration hearings," Yuma Sector officials said in a written statement.

#4  Congress Continues to do Nothing

Why would they? Leaving aside the virtue signalling, every body across the border is either cheap labor or more votes for your party.

#6 During the first two years of the Trump administration, he couldn't count on the Rinos, people like McCain, Flake, Collins, Murkowsi,Corker and others. And now Rommey. In the House, Ryan was an impediment. The Dems, such as Schumer were obstructionist to everything Trump. Trump is trying to get something done on immigration reform. He is pushing hard to fix this. At the same time, Trump has been assaulted from every direction by crooked bastards from the media and the previous adminstration. He needs to clean out this den of vipers permanently.
