U.S. Border Patrol Agents continue to deal with this influx of illegal aliens entering our country with no respect for our immigration laws.  This fiscal year to date the El Paso Sector has arrested over 130 thousand illegal aliens, compared to over 16,000 during the same time last fiscal year.  The numbers continue to rise and agents see no end in sight for this current situation.

 I think everyone agrees we need to do something to fix illegal immigration. I think it just differs on what the fixes should be. But, no, I wouldn't refer to it as a crisis. It's not, 'Oh no, there's people working for less than the average wage and paying taxes, it's the end of America!'
