Record Numbers at the Border Raise Concerns
In what seems to be an alarming trend, the number of migrant encounters at the United States-Mexico border continues to rise, reaching unprecedented levels. According to sources within the Customs and Border Protection agency, over 190,000 migrant encounters have been recorded in the month of December alone. To put that into perspective, it's like the entire population of Birmingham, Alabama, crossing over into the country in just 19 days.
