Illegal immigration on border surges back to Obama levels

Illegal immigration across the Southwest border has surged back to Obama-era levels, according to the latest data released Friday that suggests the gains President Trump made early in his tenure have worn off.

Nearly 40,000 illegal immigrants were nabbed attempting to sneak in at the border in November, which was up about 12 percent compared to October, and more than twice the monthly numbers from March and April, when Mr. Trump touted his early accomplishments.

Perhaps just as worrisome for officials is the rise in families traveling together, which surged 45 percent last month, and unaccompanied minors traveling without parents, which rose 26 percent in November.

And a hell of a lot of them are coming here to Maryland. Look at how many of them are in the mall lately. Especially when the weather is bad. They almost outnumber Americans. This has got to stop. Every illegal that is hired by the a-hole employers in the area is another job lost by an American. Employers who are at fault for them coming here, because they give them jobs.
