DHS to move migrants flooding border to sites further north, as illegal immigration surge continues

The Homeland Security Department is planning to transport illegal border-crossers awaiting immigration proceedings from sites along the Mexican border to cities further north.

According to a report by NBC News, that effort will begin in Los Angeles.

The plan is designed to lessen the crowding now taking place along the border, where illegal immigrants have flooded the shelters in many cities, causing Customs and Border Protection agents to reportedly release the crossers onto the streets.
