Record number of African migrants coming to Mexican border

[Common]

Undaunted by a dangerous journey over thousands of miles, people fleeing economic hardship and human rights abuses in African countries are coming to the U.S.-Mexico border in unprecedented numbers, surprising Border Patrol agents more accustomed to Spanish-speaking migrants.

Officials in Texas and even Maine are scrambling to absorb the sharp increase in African migrants. They are coming to America after flying across the Atlantic Ocean to South America and then embarking on an often harrowing overland journey.


In one recent week, agents in the Border Patrol’s Del Rio sector stopped more than 500 African migrants found walking in separate groups along the arid land after splashing across the Rio Grande, children in tow.



That is more than double the total of 211 African migrants who were detained by the Border Patrol along the entire 2,000-mile (3,200-kilometer) U.S.-Mexico border in the 2018 fiscal year.



“We are continuing to see a rise in apprehensions of immigrants from countries not normally encountered in our area,” said Raul Ortiz, head of the U.S. Border Patrol’s Del Rio sector.



The immigrants in Texas were mostly from the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola. Cameroonians have also been traveling up through Mexico and into the U.S. in larger numbers and seeking asylum at ports of entry.



On recent Saturday in Tijuana, there were 90 Cameroonians lined up to get on a waiting list to request asylum that has swelled to about 7,500 names. Also on the waiting list are Ethiopians, Eritreans, Mauritanians, Sudanese and Congolese.

Until Obama and Holder are in prison where they belong, it is probably going to get a lot worse, and I'll bet you even blacks would find this alarming.

[Lummy]

This is an act of war against the US.

Please don't refer to our 52nd state-to-be as a "cold $#@!hole". There are many fine people there. Hilarious map though.

Say, you know, I think I see our 53rd state too. Greenland.

Gee, I wonder whose paying for it all. Rotten Soros? Rotten Clinton Foundation? Rotten democrat party? Rotten Russia? Rotten China?

[Lummy]

My bet would be on China, which is looking more and more adversarial every day.

And many of these Africans were from the Congo. They may have Ebola- CBP only hold medical quarantines for an average of 72 hours. Ebola has 21 days incubation. And it can survive in human fluids for over a year - like semen.

[Rationalist]

I would put money on the idea that NGOs are behind this. They definitely are behind the recruitment of Africans migrating to Europe.
