DHS' Nielsen: Border in Crisis, 150,000 Trying to Cross Each Day

The nation’s southwest border is in “crisis,” with authorities stopping 151,700 illegal entrants a day, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said Sunday.

In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Nielsen called the massive caravan of refugees from Central America just “one iteration” of the flood of illegal immigrants.

"We have a crisis at the border right now,” she said. “We are stopping between 151,700 people a day trying to cross illegally into this country. This caravan is one iteration of that but frankly, we eventually see caravans every day with these numbers."

Nielsen called a caravan currently making its way north as one having a "moment-to-moment" membership.

"This isn't a ticketed event if you don't have a membership in the caravan,” she said.

“There are consistently moment to moment folks raising a hand saying they are part of the so-called caravan and then there are others who yesterday said they were part of the caravan, today say they are no longer a part of the caravan. What we are really talking about is the flow of people that are headed towards the United States. They have chosen to break laws along the way. "
