Migrants cross U.S. border in record numbers, undeterred by Texas' razor wire and Biden's policies
CBS “News” ^ | December 24, 2023 | BY CAMILO MONTOYA-GALVEZ (D-CBS)

Eagle Pass, Texas — By 6:30 a.m., there were scores of migrants, including parents carrying young children and babies, between a seemingly endless line of razor wire and the Rio Grande, pleading with Texas National Guardsmen to grant them safe passage into the U.S.

"Please, let us through," a woman in the river clamored in Spanish. "Let us pass," another migrant yelled. "There are kids in the water," a man said.

These dire scenes have become a daily occurrence near the Texas border town of Eagle Pass, now the busiest sector for illegal crossings alongside the remote Tucson sector in Arizona, where smugglers have been cutting parts of the border wall to let migrants into the U.S.

Undeterred by the razor wire assembled by Texas state officials, stretches of federal border wall and Biden administration policies designed to reduce illegal entries, migrants have been crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in unprecedented numbers in recent days.

"Illegal border crossings have always happened," said Eagle Pass fire chief Manuel Mello, who started as a local firefighter in the 1990s. "Groups of 10, 12 — that was a large group. But now you see 3,000 and 4,000 in one day. I never thought something like this could happen."

What a wasted opportunity for live fire practice. We need more illiterate, diseases, useless mouths to feed, drugs, and criminals like we need another Biden. There are kids in the water? Well, who put them there?

“What a wasted opportunity for live fire practice.”

Thank you! I didn’t want to be the first one to say it.

What complete and utter bulls*** from CBS!!! Biden's policies are designed to encourage illegal entries.

See Tagline.

Fox this morning had a story from Bill Melugin at the Tucson airport. There is a special line only for illegal immigrants - they are allowed to bypass security on the basis of a piece of paper from the Border Patrol, no ID check, no passport, etc. A day or so ago it was revealed that all air marshals had been pulled from all airlines and reassigned to illegal immigrant processing at the border. Just think what an opportunity for Islamist extremists posing as poor asylum seekers to attempt a hijacking.

I would string the razor wire in the river. Several strands deep and wide.

Contrast with actual Biden border policy.

Trump was going to ‘nip that shite’ in the bud.

Byedone’s blood is all over the world!
The blood is on Byedone’s, Byedone’s handlers, and the crazy left.
They love wars.

Now, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is putting together legislation to require the U.S. military to adhere to state-level red and yellow flag laws for troops.

The MSM protection fortress will hold no matter what. Fentanyl, human trafficking, social services collapsing from strain all covered up to shield these traitors. The party must be protected even if the misery reaches their own families.

The weasel word here is “illegal”. By accepting nearly everyone’s request for asylum and giving them papers, requiring (ha!) their appearance at a court in a few years, Biden has made the vast majority of these invaders legal.

I certainly hope the Republicans in Congress do not allot any more money to go to the border to help these invaders get through the border with their documents even faster than they’re coming through now. That’s what Biden wants the money for, not to stop people from coming.

Some coyotes in Piedras Negras must be getting fabulously rich trafficking these illegal aliens.

“undeterred by Biden’s policies”???

You mean the welcome mat, the open door and the gift baskets?

Biden's (& family's) usefulness has come to an end and he'll be "called out" more and more.

"undeterred by... Biden's policies"

"His" policies are doing exactly what was intended.

It's like to going to a show having read the playbill in advance.

Hunter was in place to control Biden and will now be used to take him down.
