Eagle Pass vs. Brownsville

NEW: Per CBP sources, internal CBP data reveals the stark difference in activity in the two border locations Trump & Biden will visit today.
Over the last 5 days, Border Patrol in Eagle Pass has apprehended over 2,000 illegal immigrants.
In Brownsville, only 46 apprehensions.… pic.twitter.com/nTtzdMy4ij
— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) February 29, 2024

BILL MELUGIN: Brownsville hasn’t seen significant activity since last May when Title 42 was ending, when it was the #1 spot for a small window of time. Then Texas locked it down with razor wire and legions of troopers and National Guard and it has been largely silent ever since.

Illegal immigration activity in Brownsville is dramatically down because of the actions taken by Texas, not Biden. In fact, it's down in spite of Biden.

Biden's Historic Border Crisis

It was the highest single day total of illegal immigrants storming our southern border ever recorded.

Biden owns this invasion.
He should be impeached for failing to enforce the laws of the United States and putting Americans in danger.

BREAKING: Per CBP sources, there were more than 12,600 migrants encountered at the southern border in the last 24 hours, the highest single day total ever recorded. The true number is *significantly* higher because there are thousands still waiting to be processed in Eagle Pass…

NEW: As Eagle Pass, TX is completely overrun with mass illegal crossings, so too, is Border Patrol’s Tucson, AZ sector, which saw over 3,000 known illegal crossings yesterday. This is the scene in Lukeville, AZ this morning where hundreds from around the globe crossed illegally. pic.twitter.com/dvWBYd0NV5

NEW: Migrant encounters at the border just hit the highest single day total ever recorded, & CBP has closed down multiple international railway crossings to redeploy personnel for migrant processing, leading to major disruptions in international commerce.https://t.co/kIb6pGmZd2

NEW: Mass illegal crossings beginning in Brownsville, TX again in the RGV. This photo from a source on the ground 2 hours ago. The RGV had been fairly slow recently, but seems to be picking up again. CBP source tells me RGV sector had just under 1,500 illegal crossings yesterday. pic.twitter.com/cJUm0lGeo6

Biden's Open Border Still Admitting Thousands into U.S. Illegally

Looks like Eagle Pass is about to get busy again. In recent days, the biggest numbers have been in the Tucson, AZ sector. Constantly fluctuating as some sectors get busy, others slow down, then the cycle restarts again. More caravans moving through MX now. https://t.co/YbTUC1ZQvK

This is a disaster for our country, happening nonstop.

The Regime Media are lying to you about what's going on at the border. Biden and the Democrats are lying to you.
Thousands of illegal immigrants are crossing into our country daily. ZERO are sent back. Since Biden was installed as president, he has orchestrated the invasion of MILLIONS of illegal immigrants pouring into our country, endangering American citizens in our small towns and big cities.
Biden started the chaos. If he wanted to put an end to this disaster he created, he could.

Please encourage more citizen journalism! You can do live video easily from your phone.

More on-the-ground reporting from regular citizens will change the world.

Biden Border Crisis Deaths

Another body was just pulled from the Rio Grande here in Eagle Pass this morning. Middle aged male.
3-year-old boy drowned here yesterday.
10-year-old boy drowned here last week.
Every time we come here, there are multiple drownings, for 2+ years now.

Eagle Pass Declares Emergency

It’s a total free for all in Eagle Pass right now. Mass illegal crossing taking place for over an hour and a half.

Over 4,000 Illegal Immigrants Cross Into U.S. TODAY

BREAKING: Mass illegal crossing of well over 1,000 migrants into Eagle Pass, TX taking place right now, w/ many of them telling me they are from Venezuela. Others telling my producer @AlexandriaHrndz they just arrived on a train in MX. Many still in water crossing. MASSIVE group. pic.twitter.com/kuTyAQDN8I
— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) September 20, 2023

BREAKING: More still in the water crossing. TEXAS DPS troopers telling us their initial count is about 4,000 crossing. This is the largest single mass crossing I have ever seen at the southern border in my 2.5 years of coverage here. 20,000 Haitians in Del Rio were several days. pic.twitter.com/9cceXB3c63
— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) September 20, 2023

Bill Melugin writes, "This is the largest single mass crossing I have ever seen at the southern border in my 2.5 years of coverage here."
Most of those crossing are single adult men.
These people should be bussed straight to "sanctuary cities" or the White House. Perhaps Biden and his regime will stop the invasion when officials in those Democrat/Leftist havens demand that the border policies of President Trump be reinstated.
We can't wait for the Biden Regime to be ousted by American voters in 2024.

Biden Border Crisis - Normandy, Texas

NEW: Live in Normandy, TX this AM where for the 3rd time in 4 days, we saw an enormous single group of 300+ cross illegally during the early AM hours.

'The Border Is Closed'

More video from our @FoxNews thermal drone showing hundreds of migrants crossing illegally into Eagle Pass, TX this morning. This was on the U.S. side, after they had already crossed the river.
We weren’t able to fly at night until we got this drone. Huge help/addition for us. pic.twitter.com/eX3MSqj1kx
— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) October 21, 2022

We are paying to support the illegal immigrants just walking across the border.
The burden is on us.
Biden and his regime are permitting this to happen. They're encouraging it, doing nothing to thwart the millions pouring into the country.
