Assaults on U.S. Border Patrol agents have increased 300 percent over last year at the San Diego border crossing, according to figures released by San Diego Border Sector Chief Rodney Scott.
When did this start? Violence against agents began rising when the migrant caravan first arrived in Tijuana in late November, KGTV-TV reported (https://www.10news.com/news/local-news/border-patrol-assaults-against-agents-spike-after-caravan).
One of the latest incidents (https://www.10news.com/news/local-news/south-bay-news/150-migrants-attempt-to-climb-border-fence-throw-rocks-at-border-patrol-agents) happened on New Year's Eve, when a migrant threw a rock and hit a border agent in the face.
"These incursions are organized they are bringing people down there for the express purpose of provoking a confrontation," Border Patrol agent Joshua Wilson told the news outlet. He also said the incidents offer enough proof for why a border wall is needed.
"Having that barrier helps prevent many assaults on agents and that's something the public really needs to understand," Wilson added. "It's not just a border security measure it's a measure for agents safety as well."

Things could get more controversial as there are reports of a new caravan (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?529745-Caravan-3&)arriving soon. MAGA is ready to settle for fence instead of wall or accept half of money requested earlier but Dems still won't make a deal with him. Negotiations situation has gone outside art of the deal type realm right now.
