U.S. Customs and Border Protection is preparing for a worst-case scenario of 18,000 crossings along the Southern Border per day.
MCALLEN, Texas -- Border Patrol agents apprehended 22 migrants only minutes into the ride-along. The migrants say they left their homes in Central America weeks ago but found each other along the way and then paid"coyotes" to get them across the border undetected."How much did they pay you?" I asked the teenagers in Spanish.The average rate is $3,000 - $4,000 per person, agents told ABC13. Mexican cartels enlist young men like them to collect money and guide migrants.
We also know that Houston is and has always been a top destination city for migrants. Many of the migrants we encountered said they wanted to end up in Bayou City. In the fiscal year 2019, Rio Grande Valley broke a record with 350,000 apprehensions, or"encounters." They reported 550,000 encounters in the fiscal year 2021. Now, Moreno said that the sector is preparing for a wildly unprecedented 800,000 encounters.
