As if this country doesn’t have enough to deal with already, things are still just continuing to get worse. Over the weekend, a massive group of around 1,000 migrants attempted to rush the U.S. southern border from Mexico in El Paso, Texas. The incident was caught on camera and quickly spread through social media and news outlets.
The group of migrants were attempting to enter the United States at the port of entry in El Paso. In response to the incident, authorities clashed with the migrants and closed off the port of entry temporarily. This caused a standoff between the migrants and Border Patrol agents that lasted several hours before they eventually dispersed.
BREAKING: Our contact in Juarez, MX tells us a massive group of at least 1,000 migrants just attempted to rush a port of entry in El Paso in an effort to get into the United States.

This isn’t an isolated incident either; similar events have been occurring more frequently throughout the past few years as more people attempt to cross into the United States illegally or seek asylum from their home countries. The number of migrant encounters in El Paso’s Border Patrol sector has spiked to over 2,300 per day from December 9th-11th alone.
What are we dealing with here? Are we being invaded? Is this becoming a time of war? Joe Biden is going to mess around for too long and pretty soon we’ll be outnumbered in our own country. Thank God that presidential elections take place every four years, but we’ve got to count on the other side to not be as ignorant as they were in 2020, and you and I both know that the odds of that happening are slim.
It’s clear that something needs to be done about this issue in order for it to not continue happening on such a large scale and put both migrants and Border Patrol agents at risk each time it does occur, not to mention those who are affected by the immigration once they get across.
Another video from our contact. We’re told some crowd control measures were used (unclear which side of border), and a chunk of the group was repelled, and is now gathering at another smaller bridge, while some are trying to cross in the river. Waiting for more details from CBP. pic.twitter.com/PEFeHlF4KH
