They didn't bother coming during Obama's years because there was no jobs available.
"Process them humanely".
What an insanely stupid answer! Trump asked for 5,000 more BP agents but people are not interested in taking dangerous jobs in remote areas when there are better jobs available. Therefore BP has been unable to hire the needed personnel.
Where do you put thousands of invaders when the detention centers are FULL?
BP closed highway checkpoints and moved their agents to the border to help process the thousands who arrived this month.
BP detains group of 311 migrants who entered US via gap in border barrier near Sunland Park
U.S. Border Patrol Agents from the Santa Teresa Station discoverd a group of 311 Central American migrants entering the U.S. illegally at Sunland Park, New Mexico.
The group was detained shortly before midnight on Monday, February 11, 2019.
Border Patrol Agents working near Mt. Cristo Rey noticed the large group make its way "around the pedestrian fence in Sunland Park and took them in to custody."
"Though this trend has been a constant in the Antelope Wells area of New Mexico, this is the first large group that has been encountered in this area this fiscal year," the Border Patrol said.
As with the previous groups encountered in Antelope Wells, the Border Patrol said this group was comprised primarily of Central American families and unaccompanied juveniles.
The group was transported to the Santa Teresa Border Patrol Station for processing. Earlier in the day, Border Patrol agents at Antelope wells apprehended a group of 330 migrants who entered the U.S. illegally.
That makes 641 invaders who arrived in one day!

Antelope Wells is a small unincorporated community in New Mexico. In 1981 the community had a population of 2, living in trailers behind the customs station, and averaged three people entering per day.
In 2005 just 93 pedestrians crossed over the border in the community, which consisted of just four buildings: the port of entry building, two houses and a trailer.

(There are NO facilities for hundreds of invaders so what do you do with them??)
