During a three-day period, McAllen Station agents apprehended more than 2,000 migrants in an area along the border known as Rincon Village. The area has long been known as a staging area where Mexican cartels cross the migrants who will then surrender to Border Patrol agents.

Sector officials previously told Breitbart Texas that cartels exploit these families and the unaccompanied children in order to tie up Border Patrol agents. While the agents are occupied with processing the migrants, cartels will move other migrant groups who seek to avoid apprehension or drug shipments across other border regions.

The cartels are attempting to overwhelm our border agents by sending thousands of illegal immigrants directly to them, but our agents are prepared to handle anything.

Rincon Village, the area where these illegal immigrants were apprehended, is popular for border jumpers because there is not yet a physical barrier.

This lack of security is alarming—incidents like these make it seem as though nothing is being done to protect actual Americans.

ICE capturing over 2,000 illegal immigrants in just 3 days highlights just how dangerous the situation is. This is more than an influx of illegal immigrants; it is an invasion.

But President Trump is not taking this situation lightly. Border wall construction is finally beginning in Texas, and will hopefully be completed sooner rather than later. Our country’s security depends on it.
