Thousands of illegal aliens are swarming the Texas border this month in advance of the migrant caravan marching through Mexico, prompting  Chief Patrol Agent Manuel Padilla, Jr., the Customs and Border Patrol Sector Chief of the Rio Grande Valley, to beg for help dealing with the onslaught of illegal aliens, gang members and drug cartel smugglers. Just on Saturday over 700 illegal aliens were caught, with over 12,000 caught in the past three weeks. In addition, safe houses have been busted and drug smugglers intercepted by the overstretched CBP in the Rio Grande Valley.

16,000 “family units” were reported caught in the last month in the RGV sector by CBP. All these illegals take manpower and resources to detain, process, house, clothe, feed, and give medical treatment.

Padilla sent out several tweets this weekend with the message, “We need “, in conjunction with video reports by on scene Fox News Channel reporter Griff Jenkins. “Another busy day with in South Texas. Over 12,700 illegal alien arrests in past 3 weeks. nearly 800 pounds of marijuana & almost 70 pounds of peyote just yesterday We need “…”Our Agents face challenges daily while focusing on our mission and our South Texas is in need of & for both mission sets “

In his interview Sunday with Jenkins about the migrant caravan marching through Mexico, Padilla said that just the day before his sector reported 700 illegal aliens caught at the border, 8 human smuggling cases, one dead body recovered, a potential river drowning (body not surfaced yet), over 700 pounds of marijuana and 68 pounds of peyote seized–all on Saturday.

In a separate report, Jenkins noted a group of illegal aliens from China were caught.

The work never stops, day or night.

Earlier in the week Padilla posted a plea for immigration reform as the border is out of control, “ is currently encountering a 300% increase in Family Units entering the country illegally compared to October of 2017. Over 5,400 Family Units detained in past 2 weeks These numbers are not sustainable Need “

In addition to border apprehensions, stash houses are also targeted by CPB.

And of course, MS-13 gang members are being caught sneaking in the U.S.
