A group of 311 migrants, mostly Central American families and unaccompanied minors, was captured Monday near El Paso, Texas.,

This is in addition to the 330 migrants taken into custody by the Border Patrol’s El Paso sector earlier Monday, before President Trump visited to make his latest pitch for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The apprehended total on Monday: 641.

Finish the Wall...

Trump lies have sparked outrage in El Paso. City council adopted a resolution to denounce Trump's wall. Mayor says the wall is not a panacea and Texas wouldn't allow construction on private land. The border fence has no significant impact on crime rate as El Paso safety rating remains almost the same. Local police has a far greater impact in reducing crimes
