JUST IN: The U.S. Border Patrol apprehended more than 66,000 migrants at the southern border in February, the highest total for a single month in almost a decade. U.S. Customs and Border Protection released the data today here:

Family Unit represents the number of individuals deemed inadmissible with a family member by the Office of Field Operations.

In February, 9,653 people presenting themselves at ports of entry on the Southwest Border were deemed inadmissible, compared with 10,309 in the month of January and 10,026 in December. In FY18, 124,511 people presenting themselves at ports of entry on the Southwest Border were deemed inadmissible. OFO inadmissibility metrics include: individuals encountered at ports of entry who are seeking lawful admission into the United States but are determined to be inadmissible, individuals presenting themselves to seek humanitarian protection under our laws, and individuals who withdraw an application for admission and return to their countries of origin within a short timeframe.

We have to get rid of the Democrats, they are obstructionist, racists and baby killers, all while they try as hard as they can to strip americans of their right, they put in an express lane to bring in illegals and treat them as 1rst class citizens. The dems will destroy the USA

Sigh, as an agent, we have been seeing these numbers up and down since the surge of 2014. I like how it took the MSM 5 years to catch up. Beenacrisisforyears

Nope. No crisis.

They are scared and figure they better get here while they before Trump puts up a wall.

Not a crisis? So what is it then?

“Apprehended”? Does that include the number of people who applied for asylum at legal ports of entry?

Tell your sister taxpayer funded fake news outlet NewsHour JudyWoodruff still reporting all time low border apprehensions

F... out of control!😏

I hope there is a reporter or two in Guatemala investigating the sudden change in immigration numbers and travel methods. Trump accused Soros of sending refugees to the US. When Trump accuses someone of a wrong doing Trump himself has done, will do or is doing it himself.

Lies

KPBSnews Pretty impossible to believe anything coming from them these days. secnielsen should resign.

Omg. Imagine if we had no fences or walls or ICE. Chaos. Crime. Drain on services...schools hospitals etc. This is crazy- build a barrier, sensors, camera whatever it takes.

PGHowie4 What does 'between ports of entry' mean, exactly?

epheraldpost Thanks to this BS agreement..

No way we can tax enough wealth to pay for this... yikes

This is folks.... not foxnewspolitics

I trust NPR. I don't trust these numbers produced by this administration.

Good job.

Go ICE!

It’s an invasion. A national emergency!

BuildTheWall DeclareNationalEmergency realDonaldTrump

linw0918 Thank you Border Patrol!!!

That is not a good look due to people lawfully seeking asylum! Mothers losing babies, sexual assault! This country will pay!

This data needs to be analyzed together with other associated monthly metric trends: of hrs spent on apprehension (did it increase?) of asylum seekers processed at legal ports if entry (remember 'metering')

No emergency

And all that without a wall. Go figure.

Bullshit, this number can't be real; some BOT has hacked NPR!,

Gosh, it seems Donny's policies of torture and kidnapping are not having the desired effect.

Well done CBP !!!!

W/O a WALL?!

Seems like everything is working well without a wall

So, what’s the wall for?

That’s without a wall. We don’t need one

this sounds like the current administration wants to create some numbers to back up their 'emergency' that started last few months ago. ......

No emergency This is out of control. 66,000 immigrants thumbing their noses at our laws and borders. How much will this cost taxpayers? Just housing at the border is enormous

Look at the Breakdown don’t just report a number. Port of Entry and classified as Inadmissible. See how many were Cubans and Haitians, not from Guatemala.

No one believes this

I guess this is what democrats consider a fakeemergency

Why should we believe anything they say when they can’t keep track of the children they rape and steal?

And this is not a National Emergency! Really!!

The majority of those arrested were migrant families or children traveling alone or without a parent, according to figures released today by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

I think that's called an emergency.

“Not an emergency”

You’ve got issues if you believe anything this administration claims to be factual. Zero credibility with this liar in chief. Not buying it. Swampy.

66,000 migrants in Feb 2019, is an insane number of ppl; add the number who successfully avoided detection/capture, and what are we seeing? Something near 100,000 migrants per month? 1.2 million per year? How many more died or were murdered, abducted, kidnapped, trafficked? 😨

whpresscorps It’s actually 76K, not 66K. NationalEmergency BorderEmergency

Fake news ...? 🙃

these numbers do not match earlier data, however they DO match racist propaganda that was already fact checked as false

So we’re admitting there’s a problem finally, right?

I don’t believe their numbers.

IllegalAliens BorderEmergency

“Apprehended”? Were they migrating illegally?

key word... migrants! Nothing illegal about being a migrant.. all that says to me is they are rounding up anyone who is brown or looks Latino regardless of actual status

All that kids in cages deterrence not working.

whpresscorps But there is no emergency. Riiiiiiiiight.

Caravan and such..oy

66,000 in one month, shouldn't that be considered an act of war?

Convenient

PaulZeise Does this validate a wall or more security?

Wish they could catch all of them. We need the border wall.

It's a national emergency.

Build the wall!

That isn’t possible without a wall.

shame

See, now...the trump administration lies so much that I don't know if they're lying now, or of this is indicative of how bad things are getting in parts of Central America. Are they manufacturing a problem just to get their way on this ridiculous emergency declaration?

66k caught and probably 100k or more not.... sounds like that wall needs built ASAP

The shortest month of the year too. fishy

More people trying to enter, better border security or both?

Despicable. Just despicable.

What border crisis?

Immigrants love republicans because they are fair. They avoid coming when liberals are ruling.

But there’s no emergency right? 😂😂😂

And how many were justified arrests

This is why we need a wall

No crisis though. Right.

How many Americans have been captured trying to escape over the Canadian border? Just curious.

That's like having two spigots running, turning one off and then acting shocked when all the water only comes out of one spigot.

sweet. are we still kidnapping and trafficking their children, or...?

Good job! Love how well they're doing even without a wall lol
