Is there a crisis at our Southern border? Nancy Pelosi says no.  But the chief of Customs and Border Protection has just announced that the system is at “the breaking point.” Arrests of FAMILIES crossing into the U.S. illegally in the past five months have hit a record, prompting      Families coming across make a difficult job for border patrol agents much harder because it adds the element of human hygiene, shelter, food, water,  and social issues. You can become the bad guy very easily just doing your job. Families accompanied by children, along with completely unaccompanied children with no parents, now make up 60% of arrests at the border according to the Wall Street Journal. The Border Patrol made over 260,000 TOTAL arrests between in just five months from October 2018  through February 2019, compared with 136,209 over the same period a year earlier, a 97% increase! And, there is simply no place for them to stay after they get here.  It is without a doubt a humanitarian crisis. We'll review the Journal's report, then insurance expert Shelley Grandidge joins us.  A fact-filled show today, MASTERING MONEY is on the air!!
