US judge declares 'invasion' at Mexican border

Kinney County in Texas has declared a local state of disaster, officially classifying the flood of migrants streaming from across the Mexican border as an "invasion" and requesting assistance from state and federal authorities.

  • Judge Tully Shahan officially declared the invasion on Tuesday
  • 5 other counties nearby have also enacted similar decrees, or are planning to
  • Although it may appear symbolic to declare an invasion, without any military action to support it, it's a historical first according to Ken Cuccinelli, former Virginia Attorney General.

The illegal immigration rate has increased dramatically in the last year

  • In 2021, there were more than three times as many migrants being reported as in 2020
  • The United Nations has ranked the US-Mexico border as one of the most dangerous in the world
  • 720 migrants died or disappeared trying to cross the border last year
