Cooper: Shh! Record immigration in 2016?

Fiscal 2016 could be a record year for illegal immigration into the United States, but that is never mentioned by Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for the president of the United States, who prefers more open borders.

Read anything about 2016 likely being a record year for illegal immigration into the United States?

Of course you haven’t. It doesn’t fit into Big Media’s scenario for electing Hillary Clinton president.

This year is already second behind the peak of fiscal 2014 for illegal immigration, but a new report by the Wilson Center indicates “August 2016 had the highest number of [unaccompanied children] and family unit apprehensions of any August in the past five years, including 2014.”

Usually in August, according to the report, the numbers decline because of the heat and a reduced demand for seasonal labor. If the August numbers continue, though, the country could break its record of lawless entries.

Although fewer illegal immigrants have been removed from the interior of the U.S. every year since 2009 and fewer have been removed from the border every year since 2013, this year’s surge – mostly from Central America – is partially driven by those who have been deported but long to return and by the number of illegals willing to pay smugglers extra money for “VIP services,” the report states.
