Customs and Border Protection arrested 171 illegal immigrants from Central America on Sunday.
According to CBP, these illegals dug underneath an outdated section of “infrastructure” on the border yesterday after smugglers helped coordinate their entry into the US.
Here’s the video and tweet they posted today:

So I wonder how many of these illegals requested asylum after trying to cross illegally? And of those, who many are going to get released into the US because the CBP is over capacity?
Look I get that there is legitimate criticism for how Trump has handled the border wall since he’s been president and even this year. But there really isn’t any substance to the arguments that this isn’t a crisis and that we don’t need a border wall.
Democrats refused to budge on securing the border and fixing the problems with our immigration system this year and the media has done nothing but run cover for them. So here we are, hoping that Trump’s national emergency will provide real border protection and relief in our immigration system.
