Customs and Border chief: Migrant surge
not letting up
DONNA, TEXAS: The surge of Central
American families seeking asylum at U.S. borders is not letting up, Customs and
Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske said Wednesday after touring a
temporary holding facility in the Rio Grande Valley set up to manage the influx.
The number of
apprehensions along the southwestern border can be close to 2,000 a day — with
most people turning themselves in, Kerlikowske said in a phone interview. The
November influx was as high as what was seen in October: 46,195, he said.
The precise monthly
number is to be announced next week. . .
