this represents 220% increase in the rio grande valley, 636% increasing in the rio and an astonishing 1670% increase in the el paso text sector. in may and june 2014 at the height of what president obama then called a humanitarian crisis approximately 135,000 people were apprehended at the southern border in february, march of this year again comparable to. more than 180,000 were apprehended and let me just repeat that. back when president obama called it a security crisis was when 135,000 people were apprehended 180,000 people in march were apprehended so obviously this trend is getting worse and worse. you will notice the statistics excited today our current through march and more than a month has passed since the american people received an update from custom and border protection on the situation. if my understanding cbp has collected and analyzed southwest border apprehension data from april and chief provost is repaired to present that data today. i look for to hearing what is happened during the past month. a new phenomenon is also emerged representative tries in the hundred pe

well, tonight we learn from the sources and rio grande valley sector that they are being completely overrun by unprecedented numbers of illegal aliens and asylum seekers. over the past week and this stunned me, 10,000 illegal aliens were apprehended by border patrol. those are the ones apprehended. and that made it one of the highest weekly totals ever seen in the history of the sector. new numbers for the month of april are coming out tomorr tomorrow. and sources are telling us that they could be the highest on record. my friends, this is a complete and total travesty. we spent trillions of dollars in iraq and afghanistan defending other people's borders. and we have allowed our own borders to just become meaningless. any politician who says this isn't a crisis or refuses to be part of a real solution should retire or be retired. and that is the angle. all right, joining us now in mcallen, texas, a reporter missed dramatic video of 200 illegals apprehended in one mass group last night. this happened to a nearby sullivan city overwhelming border patrol they are and kgb tea reporter sidney h

we have added new facilities to el paso, rio grande valley, and soon to yuma border patrol sectors, our short-term facilities remain beyond capacity. we are trying to cope with this. to address the volume, we detailed agents from the northern coastal borders, officers from c.b.p.'s office of field operations across the country, and our brothers and sisters from other d.h.s. components. however, even with the additional detailed staffing, our field commanders have had to pull agents away from the board to process reduced task force participation, postpone training and close check points. this is a risk to national security. it is unsustainable and cannot and should not continue. children should not have to sleep on the ground, huddled under mylar blankets. this is the united states of america. we can and we must do better as a country. let me be clear about this. c.b.p. cannot address this crisis by shifting resource or build manager facilities. they used the analogy, it's like holding a bucket under a faw kets. if we can't turn off the flow it doesn't matter how many buckets you give me

you may be aware we announced the opening of two facilities in texas, one in donna near the rio grande valley and another in el paso to deal with the fact that the system is saturated, the infrastructure that we're holding these families in was originally built for single adults to be held for just a few hours. so now we have two new soft-sided temporary facilities to house just these families and children, 500 each in order to deal with these humanitarian issues. make sure that they get the medical care, the food, the care and feeding, be in a climate controlled environment so we can process them faster, get them through the system, but again, it's a menu and a comprehensive list of solutions as i mentioned before that we absolutely need. >> a lot of those have very good ideas. i'm wondering whether mexico's crackdown on illegals and its country is actually fostering more of them getting or trying to get to our country. they hop on a bus or whatever to find their way here. mexico is cracking down. how do you describe what is happening in the caravans? in a weird way, the mexicans might be en

we know it well, the rio grande valley of south texas where apprehensions are among the highest along the southern border. this giant warehouse turned detention/processing facility known as the kennel to migrants because it is packed and alleged inhumane conditions according to the migrants. the facility is designed to hold 1500 people. customs and border protection officials tell us well over 2400 have been crammed in. now federal agents say they've stopped taking in new people there because, quote, many migrants at the facility are said to be experiencing flu-like symptoms. they wouldn't give us an exact number of migrants who have fallen ill. it comes two days after a teen who had been held at that facility died at a different location after he was diagnosed with the flu. he was 16 years old and from guatemala. so a quarantine has been implemented to prevent further spread. cbp officials say apprehensions will have to be diverted to different facilities that are also overcrowded until this situation is under control. the feds say that in recent months they have seen a pretty big in

what pieces, primary walls, secondary walls replaced, being freshly built, yuma, san diego, rio grande valley weeks ago, talked about full and final border security he made very clear we didn't listen to politicians on capitol hill to put together the immigration plan. we listened to the brave men and will on the border. they are overwhelmed. they are being diverted from protecting the border, providing frankly health and wellness. we're trying to move people down there who can fulfill those duties. we have new acting director of i.c.e. i think it is incredibly important to recognize all these democrats have said, abolish i.c.e., get rid of i.c.e., i.c.e. alone, forget about everybody else, i.c.e. alone interdicted enough fentanyl to kill all of us coming over the border through other ports of entry. they're trying to stop the flow of drugs, flow of people and trying to help people make it to the border. brian: president said i will not legislate if you're going to investigate but it has been brought up bill clinton investigated by newt gingrich for impeachment they were pushing forward with
