Immigration Reform 2016: Border Patrol Sees More Undocumented Immigrants Along US Mexico Border In March BY CLARK MINDOCK

       
          It was reported that there have been more illegal immigrants trying to cross into the United States. There can be one person that tries to cross the border multiple times that week and they still count him/her as different people. This can miscalculate the data because the border patrol is counting people more than once. They can make it seem that 6 people tried to cross, but in reality, it was only one. 

In the article they said that: 
      "There were 7,259 more crossings and apprehensions last month compared to February, and 4,452 of the 33,335 apprehensions were members of families crossing together, the agency reported. That rise in crossings, mostly composed of people fleeing Central America via Mexico..." 

     There was a discussion that many illegal immigrants were coming to the U.S. but they did not know if they were coming looking for help. It is interesting that people are being detained so that they are taking back to their home, but are not asked if they were running away from danger. There should be more research put into these people because they could have had been running from danger. It is better to make sure if someone is safe than worrying about their status. 

    "The deportation raids earlier this month were widely criticized by immigration and human rights activists, many of whom argued that sending back people who had fled Central America could put their lives in danger."

       There should be more research put into families because they might be looking for help.
