CBP Head Says New Border Barrier Cuts Illegal Migration 80 Percent
As the online USAFeatures.news reported February 27, “Mark Morgan, acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, told a congressional committee [February 26] that a 20-mile section of new border wall near El Paso, Texas, has reduced illegal immigration by as much as 80 percent.”
“‘We’ve seen apprehensions and illegal entries and gotaways all being reduced by over 80% in that 20-mile stretch,’ he told the House Appropriations Committee,” the site also informed. Drug smuggling has been cut in the area as well.
Morgan mentioned that the new border barriers aren’t solely responsible for the reduced incursions. “He told lawmakers that walls along with roads and lighting, and in some cases multiple layers of fencing, are contributing to fewer illegal crossings as well,” USAFeatures.news further reports.
