Border Patrol agents continue to encounter large groups of people illegally crossing from Mexico into South Texas, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announcing a more than 100 percent month-over-month increase in February in two categories of illegal aliens—family units and unaccompanied minors.
CBP said in a March 17 release that border agents apprehended four large groups between Monday and Wednesday, which followed an earlier announcement of two large groups of illegal aliens crossing the border into the United States over the weekend.
