The video appeared to have been first uploaded by James Breeden, a journalist covering the border region. The footage shows several Texas National Guard soldiers standing in the gap of a chain link and concertina wire barricade, as a large group of men attempt to rip down the obstacle. The National Guardsmen use their hands to push back the crowd, but eventually the group of migrants overwhelm the Guardsmen and sprinted past and reached the border fence.
Estimates of the size of the group of migrants varied between 500 and 700, mostly men.
According to Border Report, the migrants were taken for processing. A statement from Governor Greg Abbot's office said that some would be prosecuted for destruction of property.

Other videos filmed from the Mexican side of the border show groups of migrants holding down the wire fence to reach the border fence.

Another video showed several hundred migrants lined up at the border fence, filmed by a driver on the Loop 375, a highway parallel to the border fence in El Paso.

All of these videos were filmed near International Marker No. 36, on the US side of the border between El Paso and Ciudad Juarez, near Midway Drive and Loop 375. According to U.S. Border Patrol spokesman Orlando Marrero-Rubio, this is not a legal crossing point, and migrants should instead surrender themselves at ports of entry.

As a result, a recent Pew Poll found that 80% of Americans believe that the US government is doing a "bad job" of handling the border.
High profile killings of US citizens by illegal migrants, such as college student such as Laken Riley in February 2024, have also drawn attention to the border crisis and its downstream effects. At the same time, academics and pro-immigration commentators have dismissed fears of migrant crime, citing studies which have found that illegal migrants commit less, not more crime than US citizens.

I hear everyone trashing Abbot about his closing of the border but no trashing or fighting or forcing their way in to the capitols of the countries all these people are fleeing. Shouldn't the same efforts coming into the US be made into changing the politics in these countries???
ReplyDeleteIf the big giant empire didn't run latinoamerica then it will be easy for the people to choose their politicos but guess who runs it from mexico to Argentina ? The mighty mickey mouse my friend
DeleteYou was thinking the same thing I was thinking. Dam bullies 😭 @7:28
Delete@07:29 don't talk about Cartel Russia and the big homie Vlad that way
DeleteThis is why Wages haven’t kept up,
ReplyDeleteThere is always someone knew to work for cheaper.
People will say “they only take the jobs people don’t want to do”.
I guess people haven’t seen construction sites,
Trucking jobs,
Even plants like Tyson saying they’ll be hiring the new migrants lol.
I don’t mind my parents came illegally so I ain’t a hypocrite,
But you can’t play both sides.
Saying you want better pay and supporting migrants as well
Ive worked construction for 20 plus year and have never seen illegals on my union sites
DeleteBro please you’re with the union.
DeleteThe union defends the worst workers,
They are real ones . They wouldn’t allow illegals.
But non union is a different story
what's wrong with undocumented immigrants working? do you want them selling drugs/stealing/begging for money/giving them free money? or do you want them working, paying taxes and earning the United States Dream?
DeleteDid I say something was wrong with it?
DeleteI said you can’t support higher wages if you support illegal immigration.
I don’t mind lower wages,
Keeps costs low.
My Big Mac meal shouldn’t be costin $15
$7-9
Higher wages doesn't necessarily means prices go up, that's all a lie. I'll give you an example.. In N Out pays all their employees $20-25 hourly and their prices still the same! Companies could pay decent wages and still profit at the same time.
Deleteif an illegal immigrant can steal your job, you need to either change careers or go back to school. i did entry level jobs before but went back to school and learned a trade that not everyone off the street can do at least without being able to reply to email in english and pass a background check...not a very high bar for a law abiding american
DeleteMr.Huskuo
ReplyDeleteWhat can be done, anyway you cut it, illegal crossings are going to continue, even if a new president takes office the same issues will happen.
For all the racists out there.
ReplyDeleteMore than half a millionigrants have been deported by the us by US Customs since April of last year.
Many more deportations still on the way.
Assholes like a former POTUS just love to use videos like these to say that the Biden Admin is not doing shit along the border and fuel hate towards migrants just to bring political power to himself.
701
DeleteWhy are sanctuary cities housing more migrants than previous administration, how come there exist more monetary assistance, how come even Mexico states more migrants have passed through than before? You saying this is all fabricated, no.
@10:10 learn something https://trac.syr.edu/immigration/quickfacts/eoir.html
DeleteNot to mention the right would not agree on the border bill bc Trump told them not to, bc it would help Biden. They only care when it benefits them
DeleteThis scares the shit out of texans. Jajajaja
ReplyDeleteMust be a small percentage that are scared then. I personally know of many employers in Texas that are hiring them for their own reasons. And not all law enforcement is enforcing anyone's removal. Don't believe everything the news is saying. There are just too many jobs in the US that need to be done and just as many individuals unwilling to do that work. Once the dust settles the individuals who came here just to work will establish themselves firmly. Everyone else will just screw themselves out of the country.
DeleteTrue statement
DeleteIn 2006 the Secure Fence act passed creating 700 new miles of barriers plus sensors and more border agents, Trump only 40 new miles - the rest of the around 435 miles were replacements or rebuilding.
DeleteIn 2007 there were 12.2 million illegals inside America already,around 20% had expired visas. In 2017,10.5 million.
The bipartisan Gang of 8 Immigration Bill did not even reach the GOP House floor.
Today the Immigration Bill by Sen. Lankford did not even reach the GOP House floor. The GOP are Frauds,they don't help,all they do is cry and use Immigration or the border for election purposes and fund raising and throw racist nonsense. Sick.
There was a time that California lost $60 billion in the agricultural sector because few worked to harvest.
The Congressional Budget Office says immigrants will add $7 trillion to the USA economy in the next 10 years.
12:40. That’s wasn’t the Congressional Bugey Committee or whoever you said. It was some guy that teaches finance that wrote that article. I read the exact same article with exact same numbers.
DeleteYeah sol, all of the employees that Tyson just got rid of (mostly Hispanics) I had to mention that so you would care, so that they can hire illegals cheaper and provide them with immigration attorneys didn't want to work. It's not about greed though, those 800,000 illegals are just getting their part of the pie. The previous group of immigrants already got their turn.
DeleteI once heard 🤔, that if you're claiming asylum and the case is accepted, that person has to have a family to sponsor them, otherwise they get deported.
ReplyDeletei think thats only for nicaraguans,cubans and venezuelans they have that requirement
DeleteThe USA has many enemies . Russia,China ,Iran,N-Korea, Venezuela and Cuba . Just to name a few. Having open borders allows the inteligence services operators and special forces commandos of these countries to enter and move freely in the USA .
ReplyDeleteoh did I forget ISiS ,Al Qaeda ,Boko Haram,Hamas ,Hezbolla
Even the Cartels knows this ,which is why they protect the borders of their plazas.
Ok and what do you recommend the US do?
Delete@08:21Dude forgot he Houthis
DeleteDude forgot the Yakuza too.
Delete10:40
DeleteU.S. southern border MUST be opened for ALL, that way, bloodthirsty Houthis, when they're not too busy suicide-vesting 'round town, can obtain city permits and open up mom&pop taquerias featuring saltah, their national dish, which I'm told is some kinda scrumptious lamb and rice concoction..
🐑🙀
The guy forgot to mention the Sandanistas from Nicaragua.😭
DeleteLol he forgot to mention Chupacabras from El Salvador.
DeleteCheap labor
ReplyDeleteIn the 80’s there were very few border brothers in prisons in the US. Now they’re about 30% of the prison population. Prison is where the gate crashers will end up eventually. The ones that came to work will disappear into the fabric of the country. That’s good and bad. My old neighbor hood is Asian and Indian now. It can’t be stopped.
ReplyDeleteIn times of peace, countries become more affluent and social programs more generous, so people have fewer children and population is balanced by orderly immigration through secure borders that maintain Rule of Law.
ReplyDeleteIn times of war, Rule of Law is challenged by upheaval, but that Rule is exactly what needs to be strengthened at each country's border so their standards are not lowered or compromised by anyone under any circumstances.
When the legal border force is overpowered by a criminal force, an essential social protection is compromised, and a stronger legal border force is required.
In California with have housing problems. Where is the influx of people coming, going to have shelter, when we already have a homeless problem.
DeleteThe USA will eventually look like Venezuela with two classes. If Trump becomes president he will become another Maduro and the poor people will be slaves to the rich or have to immigrate to another country.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely say this. If Trump gets re elected it’s going to be like it was when he got elected in 16. They’re going to start rounding people up and deporting them. Or locking them up somewhere. He’ll use the private sector to house them. Private prisons.
ReplyDeleteVote for Bobby Kennedy jr., if only to avenge his father's, uncle's, and maybe his cousin JohnJohn's murders..
Delete🦎
Bobby is 100% nwo.he wants you dead.
DeleteTrump will obey his Jewish masters.he learned his lesson. he will communize usa and open the borders more for the NORTH AMERICAN UNION.
Deletethe nwo wants 100 million migrants to replace the 280 million Vaxxed usa peeps,who will be dead in 1 to 5 years from the jabb.btw,some migrants are jabbed,they too,will be dead.
ReplyDeleteAt 1:05am Is he? I don’t know?? Pray tell what hi know ‘bout Kennedy.
DeleteSo trump supporters violently raid the capital and these migrants peacefully rush the border! The trump supporters are the only criminals here!
