Border Agent Spokesman: Flood of Immigrants Will End Up Staying

The thousands of people flooding the U.S. border will eventually be granted amnesty to stay, says Gabe Pacheco, spokesman for the National Border Patrol Council in San Diego.

Appearing on "America's Forum" on Newsmax TV on Tuesday, Pacheco said the children, mostly from Central America, will be absorbed into the population and it will morph into a form of "de facto amnesty" that leads to chain migration.

"Even if they come to amnesty or asylum, they've crossed the border illegally already," Pacheco said. 

"They've broken the law. Yes, there's going to come some time and point where the administration is going to have to say, yes, we're going to have to give these people amnesty out of necessity. And then you'll have the families come up with those children who are already here and have established residency."

Because the Border Patrol in Texas is so overwhelmed, every 72 hours the government sends groups of 140 people, mostly women and children, to San Diego, Pacheco said, adding that there is no end in sight.

"We don't know when it's going to stop; that's just part of the process right now," he said.

The job of looking after all of the illegal children is so vast that drug cartels and others are getting into the United States because there is no one at the border to stop them, he added.
