Why are the Feds Arresting More Non-Citizens?
Most of the increase comes from immigration charges, not violent crime or drugs, a new report finds.
Migrants cross the Rio Grande river on a raft paddled by a “coyote,” a smuggler, shortly before being apprehended by the Border Patrol near McAllen in September. Under zero tolerance, any adult caught crossing illegally, except parents with children, can be sent to federal court for prosecution of the crime of illegal entry.
