Swanton Sector Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia hit the panic button and requested Border Patrol agents to volunteer to transfer up north.

Garcia also warned that human traffickers are taking advantage of desperate asylum seekers due to the cold weather in the north.

The illegal aliens are arriving from 79 different countries, including countries from which migrants originated: Mexico, India, Venezuela, Haiti, and Romania.

Border officials have highlighted that significant parts of the 5,000-mile-long Northern border, which only has 115 ports of entry, are severely understaffed compared to the southern border.

Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA.), co-chair of the Northern Border Security Caucus, warned of the high risks of drugs that come through the border.

“You don’t have to worry about coming through a jungle, you just walk across,” Kelly told Fox News Digital. “There’s not a river that you have to get across; there’s really nothing there to keep people from coming over.”
