US authorities likely encountered 210,000 migrants trying to cross border illegally in July
(Worthy News) – U.S. authorities likely encountered upwards of 210,000 migrants attempting to traverse the southern border illegally in July, which would not just be a sharp increase from June but also the highest monthly number in more than 20 years.
Preliminary apprehension figures were disclosed by David Shahoulian, assistant secretary for border and immigration policy at the Homeland Security Department, preceding the release of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s official numbers for the month in which the summer heat can prove deadly for those making the journey.
By comparison, in June, 190,000 were caught illegally trying to cross the border, a number of migrants arriving that was at the time the largest in years. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
