Daffy, Daffy, Daffy.......Lowest amount of border crossings in decades and Trump calls it a crisis . . . a political crisis maybe, but not an immigration crisis. He will attempt to spend millions of tax payer dollars to impress his new found friends.
Washington (CNN)The number of migrants trying to illegally cross into the US at the Mexico border spiked dramatically in March, according to numbers released Wednesday as President Donald Trump announced he was sending National Guard troops to the southern border.
The number of people either caught trying to cross the southern border or rejected for admission increased 37% from February into March, a sudden rise in figures that had been holding relatively steady. The increase was driven especially by a jump in the number of people apprehended trying to cross illegally. The number of families and unaccompanied children trying to come into the US increased at a higher rate than the general population.
