WASHINGTON, D.C. (Worthy News)– The Federal Government, in order to alleviate the workload at the Texas Border, will fly nearly 300 Central American illegal immigrants from Texas to California for processing, the Washington Times reported.

There will be two flights Monday with 140 passengers each – one bound for San Diego and one for El Centro, about 100 miles east of San Diego, said Paul Beeson, chief of the Border Patrol’s San Diego sector.

The two flights were expected to continue every three days, Beeson told The Associated Press on Saturday, but it’s unclear for how long. They will be mostly for families with young children but also carry adults. There will be no unaccompanied children.

The flights to California are the government’s latest response to a surge of Central Americans entering Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, where the Border Patrol has made more than 174,000 arrests since Oct. 1. Most are from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. — Source
