U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said in El Paso, TX Wednesday that border security is at its "Breaking point."
"Two weeks ago, I briefed the media and testified in Congress that our immigration system was at the breaking point," McAleenan said.
"That breaking point has arrived this week at our border. CBP is facing an unprecedented humanitarian and border security crisis all along our Southwest Border-and nowhere has that crisis manifested more acutely than here in El Paso.".
McAleenan announced that border officers apprehended more than 12,000 migrants along the El Paso border within the past two mornings.
McAleenan mentioned that border customs is, "On pace for over 100,000 apprehensions and encounters with migrants, with 90 percent - 90,000 - crossing the border illegally between ports of entry."
65 percent of people crossing the border are families and children, but among those migrants are people hiding in the background, with more malicious intents.
McAleenan said the increase in family units crossing the border is due to "Vulnerabilities" in the U.S.'s legal policy.
