Trending: More Americans Now Identify as Republicans Than They Do As Democrats
According to the press release written by the federal agency, the immigrants are mostly from the Central American country of Guatemala, and they are not part of the caravan with over 7,000 migrants still making its way to the United States.
Underscoring the importance of President Donald Trump’s border wall, the report notes that the area has become a hotbed for illegal crossings due to its “outdated border wall infrastructure.”
Far from resisting apprehension or attempting to slip into the country unnoticed, the lawbreakers “waded across the river” then immediately walked to the nearest law enforcement and “surrendered to agents after walking around vehicle barriers.”
Government statistics reveal that illegal immigrant apprehension is skyrocketing, likely due to increased numbers of illegal crossings motivated by President Trump’s booming economy. The Department of Homeland Security reports that illegal immigrant apprehensions in the Yuma, Arizona area are up 150 percent over last year’s numbers. Last year saw more than a 200 percent increase over the previous year.
The lack of border security in the Yuma area has made it a popular destination for illegal immigrants to cross to the United States on foot. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the area only features obstacles that would prevent vehicles from crossing illegally, allowing pedestrians to cross unmolested and then gamble their odds with the court system after they are arrested in the United States.

At Least 40 Americans Infected With Coronavirus Aboard Quarantined Cruise Ship
They will be treated in hospitals in Japan.
At least 40 Americans aboard a cruise ship have been infected with the coronavirus, in a development that suggest the dangerous disease may transmit more rapidly than the public in the western world realizes.
Immunologist Anthony Fauci, an official with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, confirmed that 40 Americans had been diagnosed with the disease in an appearance on 60 Minutes Sunday.
Some reporting indicates that even more people have been infected with the disease, with figures ranging up to 355. These estimates include passengers of all nationalities. Those afflicted with coronavirus are being taken to Japanese hospitals to receive medical treatment.
The Americans were on board the cruise ship Diamond Princess, which is currently quarantined in Yokohama, Japan. The ship is host to the most pervasive outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic outside of China, where it originated. American passengers who tested negative of the disease have been evacuated from the ship and brought back to the United States on charter planes. Those infected with the virus will be treated in Japanese hospitals.
At least one American passenger who was traveling on board the Diamond Princess is refusing to take a U.S government charter plane back to the country, stating his belief to USA Today that the evacuation process the government is using to retrieve its citizens is not safe.
There’s considerable cause to believe the global public is being largely kept in the dark by the authoritarian Chinese government on the dangers posed by the quickly spreading virus. Estimates of the total count of people infected by the disease are largely unclear, with the Chinese government suspected of releasing deflated statistics in an effort to blunt criticism of their response to the epidemic.
