WELCOME
WELCOME BACK. THANKS FOR STAYING UP WITH US A MIGRANT
CARAVAN MIGHT BE MAKING ITS
WAY TO THE U.S. MEXICO BORDER
BUT HUNDREDS OF CENTRAL
AMERICANS ARE ALREADY DOING
THAT ON A DAILY BASIS. RECENT
WAVE OF UNDOCUMENTED FAMILIES
IS NOW SURPASSING NUMBERS
SCENE BACK IN 2013 WHEN
THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS BEGAN
OUR BORDER TEAM RECENTLY
GAINED ACCESS WITH THE BORDER
PATROL AND GOT A GLIMPSE OF
WHAT THE BORDER LOOKS LIKE
LATELY. AREA OBLIGED TO BRING
IN FAMILY AND ISN'T
UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN. LIKE
MOST HIGHLY USED AREA THAT'S
GOING TO BE GETTING ONE
VILLAGE OMAR COPY
APPROXIMATELY 1 2 IT'S A
BORDER PATROL PURSUIT WE'LL
BE GOING THROUGH THE BRUSH
WILL BE RUNNING NO TRY TO
TAKE RISKS TO WAIT FOR JOY A
GROUP OF 14 IMMIGRANTS SPLIT
UP TRYING TO HIDE IN
THE BRUSH WITH ANY MISSTEP
AND GIVE AWAY THE AGENTS
POSITION WE LOST THEM RIGHT
NOW FOR LUBITZ WE'RE JUST
GOING TO STAY BEHIND AND WAIT
FOR THEM TO COME BACK.
THE HELICOPTER PROVIDES AN
AERIAL VIEW OF THE GROUP
WHICH IS CHASED OUT TO
THE END OF THE ROAD. WE
CAUGHT UP TO TWO MEN ROBERTO
FROM MEXICO AND JOSE FROM
THEY BOTH SAY THEY LEFT OR
COUNTRIES BECAUSE OF ECONOMIC
INSECURITY REASONS. OUR
FAMILY UNITS AND
UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN. THOSE
ARE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE
ACTUALLY TURNED THEMSELVES
AND GIVE THEMSELVES UP AND
DRAW FROM MANPOWER TO
ACTUALLY PROCESS THESE
INDIVIDUALS THE OTHER HALF
WILL BE INDIVIDUALLY. THESE
ARE TRYING TO ACTIVELY
APPREHENSION SO THIS IS A
TACTIC THAT WHILE KNOWING ALL
BY THE CRIMINAL ORGANISATIONS
TRYING TO SMUGGLE EITHER
HUMANS ARE DRUGS ACROSS
DISTRACT YOU GUYS. IT IS A
TACTIC. MOREOVER IT IS A
COORDINATED EFFORT BY THAT
THAT TRANSNATIONAL CRIME
ORGANIZATION TO GET THEIR
COMMODITY CROSS FRANKLIN
VILLAGE IS A CORNER OF
THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY MOSTLY
DESIGNATED AS FEDERAL LAND IS
WHERE THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN
BY BORDER PATROL SHOWING
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DETAINED
AFTER HAVING CROSSED
THE BORDER. WE TAGGED ALONG
WITH BORDER PATROL TO WITNESS
THIS NEW WAVE OF EMIGRANTS
FOR OURSELVES. AND SEE THESE
NUMBERS ARE REPORTING OR JUST
AN ANOMALY OR A SENTENCE.
THE NUMBER OF OTHER THAN
MEXICAN FAMILY UNITS THAT WE
WERE APPREHENDED HAS
SURPASSED THE NUMBER OF OTHER
THAN MEXICAN FAMILY IS THAT
WE SAW IN KIEV FAMILIES LIKE
MAOTA KNOCKING OUT IN OLD
BEAN IV LUZ WHO SAID THEY
FLED HONDURAS OUT OF NEED
MAOTA SAYS SHE WAS TOLD BY
OTHERS THAT SHE WOULDN'T HAVE
TO WALK A LITTLE AFTER
CROSSING THE BORDER AND THAT
SHE WOULD BE HELPED BY AGENTS
I ASKED HOLDING WHY NOT STAY
IN MEXICO INSTEAD. BUT MEXICO
ISN'T SAFE FOR THEM EITHER.
HE SAID SHE CALLS COMING OF
AGENTS IN NEIGHBORING MISSION
ON A VEHICLE PURSUED WE
ARRIVED AT THE SCENE AND
WE'RE ONE INNOCENT DRIVER WAS
HIT BY THE FLEEING SUSPECTS
AGENTS AND UP ARRESTING FOR
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS AND
THEIR U.S. CITIZEN DRIVE BACK
IN DRINK ON VILLAGE ANOTHER
GROUP IS BEING PROCESSED BY
AGENTS HOWEVER THESE ARE NOT
SALVADOREANS GUATEMALANS OR
HONDURANS BUT NICARAGUANS
THEY SAY THEY'RE FLEEING AN
OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENTS AND
VIOLENCE IT'S BEEN A
DIFFICULT JOURNEY FEDERAL
SUBSIDIES SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
HUNGER LONG TRACKS BUT IT'S
BEEN WORTH IT NOW THAT SHE'S
IN THE U.S. SHE SAYS.
THANKING GOD HER LIFE HAS
BEEN SPARED HOWEVER
REMORSEFUL SHE HAD TO LEAVE
HER LOVED ONES BEHIND IN
NICARAGUA WHILE AGENTS
CONTINUED TO PROCESS
THE NICARAGUANS WE CHECKED
OUT A POPULAR LANDING AREA
FOR SMUGGLERS LO AND BEHOLD
ANOTHER GROUP BEING SMUGGLED

UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS THAT

WALKING INTO THE YOUTH BY
THE END OF A RIDE ALONG WE
ENCOUNTERED ROUGHLY 50
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS THE TALLY FOR THE END OF
THE WORKDAY OVER 700 AND ALL
OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY
SECTOR FISCAL YEAR 2018 HAS
SEEN A STEADY INCLINE WITH
NUMBERS SWELLING DURING
THE LAST FEW MONTHS. A TOTAL
OF 396 UNDOCUMENTED
IMMIGRANTS WERE APPREHENDED
ALONG THE SOUTHWEST BORDER
JUST BELOW 2013 NUMBERS. WHEN
THE CENTRAL AMERICAN NEXT IN
HIS BEGAN. THAT'S STILL LESS
THAN A THIRD FROM THE ONE
POINT SIX MILLION REPORTED IN
THE YEAR 2000 BORDER PATROL
POINTS TO THE INSTABILITY IN
LATIN AMERICA FUELING ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION. FUNDING
IMMIGRATION. FUNDING THE CARTELS COUPLED WITH A
FLAWED IMMIGRATION SYSTEM AND
YOU HAVE A CYCLE THAT SHOWS
NO SIGN OF BREAKING
