SURGE IN ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION OVER CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY
Over a 72-hour period, from Friday, December 25 to Sunday, December 27, 82 undocumented aliens were picked up off the coast of south Florida. The U.S. Border Patrol has stated that it believes the reason for the increase was the refugees' miscalculation that the coastline would not be as well guarded over the holidays.
According to Keith Roberts, Miami Border Patrol Assistant Chief, there have been similar surges in the number of people attempting to enter Florida each of the past to Christmas seasons.
The Mexican border, on the other hand, saw a decline in illegal border crossings. Many undocumented Mexicans and Central Americans return home for the Christmas holiday, and in January there is a surge in the number of illegal immigrants coming to the U.S.
