发帖数: 61690 | 1 Border-crossing attempts from Mexico rose sharply last month after falling
to a historic low last year under the Trump administration, according to
numbers released the same week the White House announced plans to deploy the
National Guard to the southern border.
The latest numbers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection show a 37-percent
increase in attempted crossings from February to March, and a 203 percent
increase over March of last year, CNN first reported Thursday.
Arrests at the border hit an all-time low last April, a phenomenon many top
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials dubbed the "Trump effect,"
over the president's tough stance on immigration, including increased
deportation efforts.
President Trump's order to deploy the National Guard was announced at the
White House by Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Wednesday.
"The threat is real," she said. "It's time to act." |
