The Border Patrol is anticipating a surge of illegal immigration expected within the next few weeks. Former South Texas Republican Congresswoman Mayra Flores fears terrorists and drug traffickers will mix with families who are gathering across the border in hopes of getting asylum. She says Border Patrol agents are exhausted and can't possibly catch all the "bad actors" trying to get into the U.S. A recent group of asylum seekers told authorities that they paid to be brought across the border after they were told the cartels that they would not be deported.
