Nielsen: US may apprehend 900,000 undocumented immigrants at southern border this year

"The projections are dire," Nielsen told the House Homeland Security Committee during a contentious hearing.2006 was the last year to reach over a million apprehensions and 2007 was the next closest with 876,704. Democrats are using the hearing to question Nielsen about administration policy which resulted in the separation of thousands of children from their parents last year.

Increase in families coming to borderOn Tuesday, Customs and Border Protection officials announced that families and unaccompanied children make up more than 60% of apprehensions along the southern border. They're predominantly from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. More than 76,000 people were apprehended or deemed inadmissible at a port of entry in February. This, combined with an influx of groups of over 100 people illegally crossing the border, has presented a unique challenge to CBP.

Hahaha

Somebody remove this trump puppet racist bigot spewing hatred and lies for her mentally incompetent pathological liar wannabe dictator squatting in the Oval Office!

🤔🤔

That’s such bullcrap!!!

You have sold your sole for money and power. You are judged harshly

BuildTheWall MAGA Trump2020

MadMaxMaccabee It’s not apprehension when they walk “to” you.

Let that sink in. 900,000! If that isn’t an emergency I don’t know what is?!!!

Possibly true because the keep the legal ports closed so much that asylum seekers are forced to enter illegally. Then they look for border patrols to turn themselves in, it works better than waiting weeks or months for an official appointment.

funny she knows that number, but not how many children are detaied and where they are. unbelievable

Finish that wall

Any punishment for the people, the CEO's, Board of DIrectors that hire undocumented workers?

2 hours west of my home, 3 hours north of the border!

900,000 undocumented ppl? They just make up any numbers, using Statistics like it’s imaginary numbers

And not one worked from MSM 🙄🧐😬

She works for Trump and the GOP so she must be a liar like all them as well!

BuildTheDamnWall

sanacardi I'm guessing...wait for it..she's lying

She looks like an unhealthy Arian...

Stop all immigration.

I guess the libs want to wait until we hit a 'million' before calling it a 'crisis'

I have to say that I felt that Secretary Neilsen was calm, prepared and steadfast in the face of the ridiculous, rhetorical questioning from some the Dem members. I am not a fan of the current administration but those Dem members are not listening or understanding.

For decades, I’ve heard politicians say they will secure our border and it never gets done. Illegal immigration is costing American taxpayers billions annually. Congress needs to stop the BS infighting and secure our border. BuildTheWall

That a girl. Lets get those numbers up

900,000 undocumented women and children? WHAT ON EARTH ARE WE GOING TO DO? Those children are going to eat us out of our mansion and summer homes!!!!

Abrv. Dear C Ramaphosa, Today, 3clients husbands HACKED to death with pangas, 2 wive died after rape & 1is fighting for her lifeThe farmers supplied stores , fed schooled & clothed workers U R aware EFF's part of these attack. s I'm Coloured & prepared to die Yasmien Ebrahim

This sounds like a year or two numbers. And is it right they can’t even keep track of the separated kids.

Amazing how the lying media cares more about illegal immigrants than Americans. Never have they interviewed the Angel Moms/Families and they never speak or show the truth what is happening at the border. Heck, Pelosi refused to speak with the Angel Moms. DEMS are so unethical.

But I thought we didn't have border protection.....these numbers are Fake News

She is a souless creature who crawls on all fours with a lizard like tongue flicking in and out between her razor sharp teeth just waiting to pounce on an undocumented child to chew up for dinner. The only way to rid America of her will be a wooden stake thru her heart.

That number doesn’t sound right.

nice

President Trump is being a realist about what's happening at the border. The Democrats and their lying minions, the media, are sending out false hope for illegal immigrants. Fix the loop holes, build the wall so immigrant children won't be making the long dangerous journey.

You can keep track of that so what about the separated kids. Can we get a number.

Isn’t that all their population? Haha

Apprehending refugees & Calling it national security... drumming up headlines about those 'illegals' who pay more into the system than they take out anyways... Racking up stats and cooking the record books with victimless crimes is wrong, when real crimes continue to go on.

Seems like an awfully large number. Most illegal immigration occurs from overstaying a visa

So where is the emergency trump

“Apprehend”. Aren’t a large percentage of these folks simply presenting themselves for a request for asylum?

Funny how she wasn’t prepared for many questions on numbers, yet she knows this one. The Trump administration & those working at the direction of pathological liar Trump, have zero credibility. There is no reason to believe any numbers or other such claims they make. Lies!!!!

Excellent!!! With a wall, the stats would be even better!!

Nope no crisis here.. Said no one

Bullshit

She's a liar

WE NEED A WALL!!!!

Thanks god

Both her parents are of foreign backgrounds, and she wants to stop immigrants? Documented or not, she should remember that she is in her job due to immigrants building America.

families walk up and surrender voluntarily and they call that apprehended

According to Democrats Trump has saved thousands of immigrant lives. With no jobs available in the Trump economy, thousands dying due to lack of access to healthcare, and millions more starving and homeless in the US he has saved immigrants from the living hell that is America.

CNN's Hypocrisy

Those are just the ones that are caught imagine how many more illegal alien scum are not caught

We gonna get ourselves some border-jumpers today, boy. Bag'em and tag'em. YeeeeeeHaaaaaaaw!

Those numbers are just as undocumented as the workers they represent

Doesn't sound like a 'manufactured crisis', does it?

Here ya go, stupids!

Democrats are broken records. They have no interest in securing the border. We’ll see how that works out for them in 2020. SecureTheBorder

NATIONAL EMERGENCY!!!! Absolutely UNDENIABLE unless you’re just idiotic blind trump haters who just go against anything and everything trump for absolutely no reason at all turn your emotions down. Illegal immigrants are criminals period.

Has Trump taught Kirsten how to lie, or is it true? 🤗

Not undocumented immigrants, but Illegal aliens. Get it right. Big difference.

None at the northern boarder huh. I wonder why? (white)

How about the over stayed on visa ones? What’s the plan besides no plan?

Has any one adled, 'what makes this 'illegal vs. Legal immigration. How many were detained just for being there?

This is a face of evil

WickedWitchofDC locks kids in cages so she can eat them later. She's the witch they've been trying to warn us about.

Yeah, totally.

U.S. Unauthorized Immigrant Total Dips to Lowest Level in a Decade

They are counting those seeking asylum as 'apprehend'. They are once again fudging the numbers.

U mean CAGED children and adults seeking asylum, hmm how many Kirjstjen?

Orange Man Bad. She is lying to make it look like we need a wall. Orange Man Bad.

Yet the left call this a “fake crisis”.

Now then....all they havta to do now is.... Round up all of the ones already here. 😎

You mean they walked up looking for asylum.

Who is profiting monetarily from this practice?

Is Soros funding all these illegals?

Trump's Tokyo Rose...!

If she said it, you can be sure it is a lie.

Good...as it should. Of course CNN is totally against it because their globalist masters instruct them to be against it.

Wow, CNN is reporting this 😱

🤮🤮🤮🤦‍♀️

And that’s just apprehensions... Now will dems stop obstructing and take action on this NATIONAL EMERGENCY? 🚨

'no emergency.' only almost a million freaking people.

How many of those are seeking asylum?

Babies, children... you know.

And the Trump Administration wants to make them into Soylent Green!🤢

Pardon me if I have a difficult time believing her.

That number she knows.
