Border Patrol set a record early Wednesday morning, apprehending 1,036 migrants attempting to illegally cross the southern U.S. border near El Paso, Texas, snapping the previous high of 424 set last month, NBC News reported.

A majority of the migrants were coming from Central America's Northern Triangle – El Salvador (76), Guatemala (515), and Honduras (135) – and traveling in the largest group ever apprehended for "safety in numbers," according to the report.

Families comprised 934 of the people, while 63 children and 39 single adults traveled alone, per NBC News, citing two U.S. officials and a document it had obtained.

The record numbers come as President Donald Trump on Thursday teased his "biggest statement on the border," which will come later in the day or Friday. A third U.S. official expects this large apprehension to a "major part of his announcement," per the report.

As Congress struggles to act on immigration and President Trump builds the wall through national emergency funding reappropriated from Defense budgets, large-scale migration has continued to grow.

March and April reported over 100,000 undocumented immigrants, illegally and legally crossing the border – the highest total in 12 years – and a DHS official expects that number to exceed 120,000, according to the report.

Trump needs to bring the troops home from Afghanistan and put them on the southern border.

Last week, it was reported that there has been nearly 450,000 illegal southern-border crossings estimated for this year so far - close to 1/2 million. America admits a specified number of legal immigrants yearly (approx. 750,000 to 1 million?), for whatever reasons, and there is not supposed to be more than that for limitless border violators and economic shopping "Asylum Seekers". Refugee claims are to be part of the total number of legal immigrants, not in excess of it, and were to be limited to about 30,000. Last time I checked, there were limits, also, on the numbers of foreign nationals per country that could be admitted per year - not endless numbers from Central America and Mexico.

And they were given a "Notice to (dis)Appear", a bus ride to America's heartland, and released into your back yard.

Catch & Release, a D&R party tradition.

No president since Ike Eisenhower has upheld his oath of office, enforced existing immigration law, and deported the illegal alien invaders.

That's what Americans voted for, and that's what they get.
