Tuesday during a press briefing, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) declared “the border is secure.”
Last week Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told the Senate Appropriations Committee predicting as many as 90,000 unaccompanied minors could be apprehended before the end of this fiscal year on Sept 30. That would represent more than three-fold increase from the 2013 numbers.
The New York Times reported that since April border patrol agents have caught 240,000 Central American illegal migrants in addition to the 52,000 children.
