This article is three days old and has not gone viral. It must be a lie. Right?

I emailed border patrol to ask for a confirmation, but they apparently have a 2-3 week backlog of emails.

It seems like this is exactly the thing that Trump would have retweeted, especially in light of the travel ban proceedings.

Not even on Fox as far as I can find.

The story just reads... wrong. Written to be sensationalistic.

I agree. And I wouldn't normally post a Breitbart link. I just find this to be particularly odd.

I don't think he will be dumb enough to retweet it since his travel ban is likely the very reason why ME people are attempting illegal entry as opposed to legal one.

Also, this is from Breitbart, which even Trump knows is typically fake news.

For years the term OTM has been coined by the border patrol to label 'other than mexican'. Rarely if never do we hear about the middle easterners that cross into our country illegally from MX.


This was on part of the propaganda machine to protect obama's legacy and support obama's baiting of illegals into our country.


The carnage taking place in MX, would, if occurred in any other country, prompt the intervention of the UN to send in troops. Again the silence of the media is intended to support the narrative of the obama administration and open border advocates. Ideology over national security.

It's really worse than the Huffington Post. It is even worse then Buzzfeed. Like the huff post and buzzfeed take actual events and twist them into a liberal light. Breitbart straight up just makes up stories and tries to get people upset or angry or whatever their agenda is these days.

The article contains a quote from border patrol specifying their nationalities.

Seems to me he's got mad respect for Breitbart. What makes you think otherwise?
