Nearly 6,000 Fake Families Found at Border; Illegals Released Into U.S. Within 48 Hours…(Attack On Every Post…)

The Border Patrol has apprehended nearly 6,000 fake families at the southwest border, and now devotes upwards of 60 percent of its manpower in high-crossing areas on what amounts to babysitting.
Even worse, the agency is releasing so-called families into the interior with virtually no vetting.
In testimony before the the U.S. Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Mark Morgan (shown), acting commissioner of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said the crisis at the border is unprecedented and that Congress must act now to change the law.
Border patrol officials have said as much for months, but House and Senate Democrats, who hope to keep illegals coming in to swell the ranks of the party, have ignored them.
Thus have border agents faced an invasion of what now must be more than 800,000 illegals, with no end in sight.
Fakers and Liars
The shocking figure on phony families, which means illegals are lying to get into the country, came during questioning from Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).
Johnson observed that the Border Patrol is releasing illegals almost immediately into the interior of the United States, then asked how long the illegals remained in custody before being loosed upon the American taxpayer.
“Since March of this year,” Morgan testified, “the United States Border Patrol has been releasing family units directly, so in some cases, they’re being released in under 48 hours into the interior of the United States.” And some of those, as The New American has reported, are sick.
That, Johnson said, is an obvious danger, particularly given the number of fake families found with DNA testing, which prompted Morgan to repeat what border officials have said repeatedly:
Catch and release is an incentive to cross the border illegally with a “family.”
“That is one of the largest pull factors,” Morgan said, “and it’s not going to stop…. We need to stem the flow. As long as our laws are where they are, you’re gonna grab a kid. That is your passport into the United States. They know that in the Northern Triangle countries and they are exploiting that every day.”
As for the number of fake families, Morgan told Johnson he did not have a percentage, but did have a number: 5,800.
As TNA reported in May, DNA testing at that point had uncovered a fake-family rate of around 30 percent.
