Border Patrol agents have become overwhelmed in recent days by asylum seekers on parts of the border with Mexico, including in Texas and California.
Despite more than a decade of political and legal attacks, nearly 600,000 people are still receiving the benefits of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, renewing their DACA designations in two-year increments.Homeland Security said in a statement that it was “using the limited tools it has available to secure the border and build a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system.”

Union Pacific Railroad said Thursday that thousands of rail cars cross the border there daily.
