Thousands of illegal immigrants awaiting processing spent the night sleeping in a makeshift apprehension site in Eagle Pass, Texas, recently.
Reporter Tayler Hansen reported alongside row after row of migrants sleeping on the ground in emergency blankets.
"Inside make-shift migrant apprehension site in Eagle Pass, TX. Thousands of illegal migrants have been sleeping here as they wait to be apprehended and processed. Some have been here for over 24 hours. In all my years of reporting I have never seen anything like this," Hansen reported on X.
"Border Patrol is actually heading a few miles down and picking these migrants up off the street. Instead of making them walk they are giving them rides," he continued. The reporter also noted a large number of "single men" awaiting processing as well.
Reports of the continued chaos at the border come as Texas Governor Greg Abbott ratified legislation effectively making illegal immigration a state crime. Police will soon be able to arrest foreign nationals who illegally cross into the U.S. Magistrates will also be able to order illegal aliens to leave the country.

"Four years ago, the United States had the fewest illegal border crossings in decades," Governor Abbott said in a statement. "It was because of four policies put in place by the Trump administration that led to such a low number of illegal crossings."
"President Biden has eliminated all of those policies and done nothing to halt illegal immigration. President Biden's deliberate inaction has left Texas to fend for itself," Abbott continued.
An increased number of journalists have began reporting from the U.S.-Mexico border as record-setting numbers of illegal immigrants continue to pour in.
Fox News' Bill Melugin showed the chaos of thousands of migrants, many wearing masks, lining up for processing in the Texas town.
"I’ve spent hundreds of days there over the last 2+ years and I’ve never seen it like this," the reporter stated.

Texas border agents outnumbered 200 to 1 by migrants at Eagle Pass — station at 260% capacity
US border agents in Eagle Pass, Texas, are outnumbered by migrants 200 to 1 even as Customs and Border Protection (CBP) staff have been dispatched from stations across the country to aid the overwhelmed port of entry, The Post has learned.
The Texas border station was processing over 4,500 migrants into the facility on Tuesday while a further 5,300 people were already being held inside, bringing it to 260% capacity, according to figures from Fox News.
CBP checkpoints across the state have been forced to close and divert manpower to Eagle Pass, Texas Congressman Tony Gonzales told The Post, which he says leaves those communities unpatrolled, allowing drug and people smugglers to operate unimpeded in more rural areas.
Maybe the best plan of action is keep quiet and after they all get up here in the cold weather leaving their respective lands of abundance empty “ announce April fool” . We all pack up and find a place along the Central American coast and live with warm weather and an oceanfront view. Dummies instead of immigration looking for hand outs, build something, turn your homeland into a paradise. They surely won’t find paradise in what once was a land of freedom and opportunity. Now it is a land ran by clowns and cowards.
ReplyDeleteWe should not be in a situation that promotes violence, drugs, trafficking, criminals on the loose, adds to USA's inflation paying for their freebie's, and non-vetted possible Terrorist's planning to attack since National Security is non-existence under Biden, IMO!
ReplyDeletePray and listen for God to let people in America know how we must respond to end this lawlessness, to end having wrong people in our Government so we regain our Republic back to good form, IMO!
