Central Americans are crossing illegally

Monday, December 26, 2016


Central Americans are crossing illegally into the U.S. at the fastest rate in years, many of them hoping to sneak in before Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration and the heightened border-security measures he has promised.

The U.S. Border Patrol apprehended 47,214 migrants along the southwest U.S. border in November, an increase of 44 per cent compared with November 2015. It was the Border Patrol’s busiest month since June of 2014, when illegal entries from Central America were cresting.
