Record number of illegal aliens are flooding over the US-Mexico border with no relief in sight.
Over 100,000 illegal aliens are entering the US every month making bogus asylum claims only to be released into US communities.
Earlier Thursday President Trump tweeted a shocking video of illegal aliens crossing the border in El Paso in the middle of the night.
Yesterday, Border Patrol agents apprehended the largest group of illegal aliens ever: 1,036 people who illegally crossed the border in El Paso around 4am. Democrats need to stand by our incredible Border Patrol and finally fix the loopholes at our Border! pic.twitter.com/6K1rIUzorM
