(The Largest single group of illegal migrants)….They swarmed across the border last week.

It happened near the San Luis Port of Entry. Shallow tunnels were dug under the border fence. Many crossed under the fence, many climbed the fence. More than 320 in all. The vast majority were Central American citizens looking for asylum. Officials say the large group lined up after crossing the border illegally and reported to local border patrol agents. Yuma Sector Border Patrol officials say they not only need increased security at the border, but more than that, they need increased resources to be able to care for the large numbers of people crossing the border illegally. Another caravan with thousands more Central American residents are making their way across Mexico, heading towards the US/ Mexico Border.
