Following is a summary of this Breitbart article:
[Note the original article uses the Border Patrol’s term “apprehended” which I think creates an inaccurate impression of what is happening, so instead I’m using the phrase “being processed” where the migrants are usually signed up for asylum hearings in the future and in the meantime they are usually released into the interior of the U.S.]
The Tucson, Arizona Sector Chief Patrol Agent John Modlin posted a video which explains that the Border Patrol processed nearly 12,000 illegal migrants during the past week in that area, which is up from just under 10,000 one week earlier.
During the first three reporting periods in January, Tucson agents processed nearly 35,000 migrants (which is about 1,662 per day). During the same period last year, about 10,200 were processed (which was about 486 per day).
Unofficial reports for December show that about 80,000 were processed by Tucson agents (which was about 2,500 per day).
