53% : That will leave the lawmakers less than two weeks to agree on a funding package that includes border security along with all the other appropriations bills to fund transportation, housing, agriculture, and energy programs by January 19.
42% : While mass migrant caravans pull CBP personnel off the front lines, multiple border patrol checkpoints have been shut down.
29% : U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) temporarily suspended rail operations beginning on Monday at two railway crossing bridges along the southern border in response to the difficulties in processing the growing influx of illegal aliens entering the United States from Mexico.
