Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens: “So Far, This Fiscal Year Alone, We Have Had People From 160 Countries or More Come Across our Border Illegally” (VIDEO)
US Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens was on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday morning to discuss the open border crisis.
“How are people from Nepal and Africa coming here?” Camilo Montoya-Galvez asked Chief Owens.
“So far, this fiscal year alone, we have had people from 160 countries or more come across our border illegally,” Chief Owens said.
“Every country and every region has smugglers that try to facilitate a pipeline for them to get to where they are going and they are connected with one another. If they are coming from Europe or coming from Asia they will find ways to get to maybe South America and from South America then they may make their way up to the Darien Gap and make their way to Central America and ultimately find their way to decision points that take them to different points along our borders,” Chief Owens continued.
