https://fox40.com/2019/01/28/hundreds-of-migrants-cross-arizona-border-after-several-busloads-dropped-off-in-mexico/
In the early morning hours Thursday, several busloads of migrants were dropped off on Highway 2 in Mexico, just south of the Arizona border. “They walked about 100 yards, climbed under and over the vehicle barrier that is the only infrastructure in that area and agents were called in to make the arrest,” said acting Tucson Border Patrol Chief Jeffrey Self. In total, 242 people — mostly families from Guatemala — were arrested when Border Patrol agents arrived at the scene after the migrants were detected by a mobile surveillance system.
Earlier this month, Border Patrol agents stationed in the Yuma, Arizona, sector took around 375 migrants into custody after they had made it into the United States. Last week, a group of 306 migrants were taken into custody in a remote part of New Mexico near the border. In Arizona earlier this month, agents encountered a group of 85 Central Americans after they arrived by bus and illegally entered the country in the same general area of Thursday’s crossing. In December, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan raised concerns that a new trend was emerging of very large groups of migrants arriving at the southern border by bus and unloading in remote areas. “So far in this fiscal year, and this has been a brand-new phenomenon this fiscal year, we have started to see extremely large groups arrive together several times, usually once or twice a week since about mid-October,” said McAleenan in December.
The trend appears to be continuing into the new year.

Large groups of illegal immigrants showing up by bus, to bum rush the border, is a new trend in illegal border crossing that has been gaining popularity since October of last year.
Many would say building a wall would deter these crossings. Due to the fact that large groups of people need large gaps in the border to cross all once. Allowing them to maintain the group and momentum.
Then there are others, who will point out that it was the security system that identified this last group and there is no way the groups will ever grow larger or scatter when the border patrol shows up...
What say you fine citizens?
