A recent Fox 7 feature is exposing the work life of U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to Texas’ Rio Grande Valley sector, a 1,254 mile stretch where they’re nabbing about 500 illegal immigrants flooding into the country each day.

Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Marlene Castro told the news site the traffic crossing the Rio Grande River from Mexico is unrelenting and impossible to contain, despite the fact that most border jumpers willingly comply with officers.

“McAllen station is actually the busiest station in the whole country for illegal entries,” Castro said. “It’s been a group, and then five minutes later another group, and then half an hour later you’ll see another one.”

Many of those making their way north are women, children and families, while others are criminals with prior deportations, Castro said.

With Trump making Mexico build the wall is that the best way to make sure there are no 'weak spots'? Mexico should insist Trum put a wall around DC in exchange for the one one the border. Working age Mexicans can move north and old and crippled people can move south where living is cheaper

“La Bestia” (The Beast) is an unofficial name applied to freight trains that start in Tapachula, Chiapas, and go to Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, or Matamoros. These trains have for many years served as the transportation method of choice for poor people of Central America migrating to the United States.

Mexico’s current immigration policy is friendly toward political refugees, but as for “civil” refugees – people fleeing from poverty, oppressive governments, and organized crime – the policy is “keep moving”.

Riding these freight trains is still dangerous, but according to Martínez, the passengers he sees in Tequisquiapan are in boxcars or open freight cars, as opposed to clinging to chemical cars or closed cars. The primary danger now comes from migrants getting robbed.

Martínez has no further contact with migrants after they leave Tequisquiapan, so he has no idea how many of them are successful in entering the United States, or where they end up.

Could just do what we do to other animals when their population gets out of control. Or are we just a bunch of hypocrites?
