The small Texas border town of Eagle Pass broke a record under the Biden administration, and it's a bad sign of things to come.
In one day, more than 1,300 migrants were apprehended in the small border town.
This exceeds all ten stations in the El Paso Sector combined. 1,100 more migrants were caught at the other eleven El Paso Border Patrol Sector stations.

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin said, "One of the largest mass illegal crossings we have ever seen took place in Eagle Pass, TX this morning."
"Border Patrol sources telling us over 2,200 people crossed there since midnight," he continued.
"It happened right next to the port of entry, as illegal immigrants continue to ignore Biden admin messaging of 'do not come', & do not fear the promised 'consequences' for crossing illegally," he added.
A source with the CBP said, "We have no other option but complete surrender at this point."
"Our facilities are full, the NGO shelters have exceeded their capacity as well, and we are releasing every migrant we can just to stay afloat."
The source was not authorized to speak to the media.
"In just one eight-hour shift, more than 700 migrants were taken into custody" the source explained. "We lack the capacity to deal with it. This system is broken."
Under Biden, we have seen the highest rate of illegal immigration over 60 years.
In 2022 alone, the US encountered the highest number ever recorded of illegal immigrants at the US southern border. This represents a 200% increase from former President Donald Trump's last year in office in 2020.

Well, liberals do proclaim Joe is #1, and now he has proven it to the rest of us. Way to go, Joe, setting records!!! WHoo Hooo!!!!!!
A sane person might even think there should be something we can do to stop the invasion of America.
Yep, just one more thing of many that Joe can point to and say "I did that!".
So... 1300 migrants apprehended in one day? That doesn't sound like they're doing nothing to me. Now if only congress could make e-verify mandatory for all jobs maybe the flow will slow down to a manageable level.
You mean 1300 illegal immigrants that turned themselves in. They will be processed and released into the US.
They are doing something- making the crisis even worse.
and give up that lucrative shell game with undocumented employees their financial backers enjoy? perish the thought...
That's the law. Congress could change that too but maybe they should do a budget first. That way there will be somebody there for migrants to turn themselves in to.
“That way there will be somebody there for migrants to turn themselves in to.”
For decades we have put the blame on the people only risking everything in an attempt to make a better life for themselves, when the blame should be placed squarely on our inability to provide adequate food, shelter, medical and judicial resources to adjudicate their requests to enter our country.
They are pawns in the partisan divide, and we forget our humanitarian obligations in the name of misguided, misleading political rhetoric. A stain on our national identity, as some would rather shoot them on sight than address the issue in context of our own proud history.
That is pure bullshit.
What makes you think that US taxpayer dollars should be spent housing, feeding, clothing, educating, and giving medical care to foreigners when we need to be spending that money on our own people. Have you heard how much in debt we are?????????
So... You would blame our national debt on some migrants who've never even been here before? Our former President had a chance to reduce our debt but, instead, chose to cut his own taxes.
Please read what I actually wrote and assume I meant it. There is no need to speculate or imply I meant that at all.
you do know how our government works right? congress is the only group that can pass a law to lower taxes. and if they were so awful. where were the democrats on reversing them? let me guess, somehow republicans have the ability to pass tax cuts without democrat help, but democrats can't figure out how to reverse them? Are you saying democrats are too stupid to govern? or just incompetent?
Let's do the context of our own border protection, OK?
So far, Congress has authorized $110B to be given to Ukraine to assist in fighting a Russian takeover. Two foreign counties - two foreign borders - two foreign governments.
Biden "requested" $25B for Homeland Security's border patrol.
The U. S. Constitution states, very clearly, in Article IV, Section 4 that "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion;"
Doesn't mention Russia - doesn't mention Ukraine - doesn't mention France - doesn't mention Spain, but, does, empathetically mention "every State in this Union"
So, for the past two years, the U.S. has allowed over 3 million ILLEGAL ALIENS to INVADE "every State in this Union", but shows greater concerns and angst for the Ukraine, a foreign, sovereign nation being invaded by Russia, another foreign, sovereign nation - and the U.S. government has continuously fallen off the wagon in their unenforced attempts of stopping the "invasion".
Just ask NYC, Chicago, Martha's Vineyards, San Fran, Denver and others, especially the SW states. They'll regale you with stories of how the U.S. has stepped up and . . . . . . oops - my bad - they haven't done jack-shyte in protecting our borders - North/South/West/East. "C'mon down - we'll letchu in fer nuthin'"
Why is that????
Ukraine and Russia have absolutely nothing to do with the U.S. other than obtain trade goods and funds for "being a foreign country". In fact, the U.S. doles out over $60B annually to over 200 foreign countries for "foreign aid." What about some "foreign aid" for U.S. Citizens.
Foreigners are more important than U.S. Citizens??? To this administratIon, the answer is OBVIOUSLY "yeah, they are."
Three million would be a conservative number.
but shows greater concerns and angst for the Ukraine, a foreign, sovereign nation being invaded by Russia, another foreign, sovereign nation
People of all persuasions are getting fed up with paying for what has become a stalemate.
Foreigners are more important than U.S. Citizens???
If you don't know now, just wait until they get voting rights.
Really? Because our former president surely claimed the credit for it.
House, Senate, and ultimately, PotUS or it goes nowhere. So why not?
Really.
Take any civics courses?
Well that explains why your comments are so lacking in facts if you are taking you information from the former president.
Because that's how it's supposed to work.
That's how Ellis Island worked. That's how we let the Chinese guys in who built all our railroads.
The problem is not that we're letting them in for free. The problem is we're letting them in without any sort of documenting process.
And it's gone on for a helluva lot longer than 2 years.
Comon Jack. You should know better
Know better than what, exactly?
I've lived in Texas for 33 years. Let's don't pretend this is a new problem.
Of this magnitude? I think it more than likely is a new problem.
The mayor of Eagle Pass as well as other border towns might tend to disagree. They have never seen anything like it.
And in those 33 years which other administrations have actively encouraged this level of illegal immigration?
It's really not. It's just getting more attention now... which is good.
There are about the same number of illegal immigrants in the US today as there were in 2007.
I dunno that the current adminstration is actively encouraging it. I just think they're too inept to discourage it.
I will say I don't remember another President trying to tell a state it was not allowed to deploy barricades within their own borders, so you may be right.
See comment 2,3,6 where a poster agrees with the former 'president' about shooting these migrants on sight
Congrats on the story of the day.
Here is what our leftist proxy is doing:
"The Biden administration said Wednesday it will offer temporary legal status to more than 470,000 Venezuelan migrants in the United States, announcing the move as U.S. authorities struggle to contend with a border influx in Texas that has stretched holding capacity to the brink."
Amid border strains, Biden extends legal status to 470,000 Venezuelans - The Washington Post
Hmmm, what a coincidence...
They should call up the National Guard and make sure they have live ammunition
Why?
Because we are being illegally invaded?
Just a wild guess...............................
They want an American Lampedusa, the Italian isle that now has more migrants arriving on a daily basis than residents. Predictably end up with scenes like this.
Well, in all fairness, we DO have a migrant train loaded to the gills headed our way.
Then they should be tried in a court of law.. What you are endorsing is murder. Tell me, if you walked into my yard and I shot and killed you, would it be justified in a court of law?
Never in a million years.
Yea, was wondering when that made up story was going to surface. It's the same story that circulated before 2020 election. After the election, the caravan mysteriously disappeared. Political rhetoric, nothing more.
Made up indeed. Not according to the rail company Ferromex
Come back to me when you have a more accurate grasp of the facts and stop pretending.
Under THIS administration? You have GOT to be kidding!
How many years later? That is if they ever bother to show up. Or they aren't thrown out of court due to paperwork being misfiled by ICE and the BP. They all know Brandon doesn't deport illegals that have made it into the country.
Ever heard of a trespass law. If the property is clearly marked no trespass and someone goes on it- they can be shot. A better example of what you are talking about would be trying to sneak onto a military base; prison; or any other government institution. Think they wouldn't hesitate to shoot? Our whole border should be considered a no trespass zone/government property.
Sorry if some of us want the wide open borders closed; and streams of millions of illegal immigrants, drugs, terrorists, guns, etc entering the US ended.
Ferromex has stopped running some trains northbound because of this
NBC is MAGA. It's all made up.
Good luck with that. You'd have to find them first. The Biden administration turned most of them loose after illegally entering the country to disappear into the shadows.
More fake news
My favorite answer to that?? Depends.
Depends on the circumstances and on what part of the country you live in.
You do know there is a difference between an invasion and trespassing right? What would you do if that same trespasser moved into your house and demanded that you continue to house clothe and feed him? How about when he asks you to insure his health and give him a few dollars spending money?
Because dead ammo is useless?
Okay, that one was funny.
Why don't you post both definitions so we all know the differences?
Why don't you look it up so you will know it is correct?
There are migrant trains frequently headed this way that the liberals choose to ignore.
Walking into your yard is not against the law.
Why don't you look it up for your self?
Because right wingers use their own dictionaries and I want to be sure we are all working off the same definition. So don't be afraid, just list them, and include a link so we all know the definition wasn't made up on the spot.
because this way they can go off on some tangent for an hour over a definition, which is precisely why we told him to look it up himself so he can't bitch about the definition or source.
it's an old tactic employed when they have nothing else.
I just used GOOGLE. I am sure you must have used it a time or two. Try it. It isn't hard.
Yeah, a migrant caravan is always heading this way according to the republiCONS and CONServatives
Which would have shown a few dozen definitions. Why are you so afraid to show the definitions you are referencing? Are you able to access Google from where you are posting? It doesn't matter which search engine you are using just copy and paste the definition and provide a hyperlink to that website.
Don't be so afraid to back up your own statements.
See post 2.1.25
Just as predicted yesterday.
They CAN'T BACK UP THEIR STATEMENTS, which is why they never do.
You’re finally catching on 👍
The cartels do.
They've had the Texas National Guard at the border for a long time now.
Which is illegal and would incur a quick trial and sentencing for anyone giving and following such an order.
To do so would mean having to amend or suspend the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.
I would think it would be far easier to address the problems of immigration and it's not the border. It's the fact they can come, claim asylum and wait months to years for a court date. It shouldn't take longer than 72 hours to get a work visa, green card or a one way trip back to country of origin.
I actually agree with you in general, but it seems many of those illegals find in preferable to remain in the shadows while knowing the broken immigration systems works in their favor. In addition , they could be afraid that the US immigration courts will just ship them back to their country of origin.
Evil - the problem is with the absolute, total, unseen and unknown lack of enforcement of our immigration laws/regulations/policies by this administration - period.
Why not? The former 'president' suggested shooting them.
He was right to
That's as moronic as the former 'president' suggesting that they shoot migrants
"President Joe Biden’s Border Patrol was seen cutting through razor wire on private property along the Texas-Mexico border to let migrants move further into the United States after crossing the border illegally, video of the moment shows.
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin tweeted footage of Border Patrol cutting the wire."
Video: Border Patrol caught cutting razor wire to let migrants in (americanmilitarynews.com)
Faux 'news'?
I'm sure whatever they have, it's been 'edited'
They will continue to come illegally because they know, if caught, there is an excellent chance at them being released into the US.
As long as Joe gives them what they want, they will continue to invade.
And they will arrive via bus or plane paid for by the Biden Administration:
I think Abbott needs to ratchet it up, instead of buses we need to be reserving whole Amtrak trains.
Immigration reform requires multiple change, but at its core, we must bill require employers to use E-Verify to hire only legally authorized employees and punish those that don’t. Large numbers of migrants trying to live in a black market economy isn’t conducive to continued large numbers crossing our borders and staying long.
Wow, good job Biden Admin!
Exactly, they hired and supervised these BP agents. Now they will give them court dates sometime late next year and release them here.
You really are optimistic. Hearings are years out- and getting later with every new illegal entering the country.
You're right, I lost my head there.
Yeah, what's yet another thousand-plus aliens released into the US?
Hopefully they will find their own way to some sanctuary cities or states.
One location, one day, drop in the bucket.
It makes me wonder how many they DIDN'T catch.
Some estimates are around 32-35% aren't caught.
So a few million per year?
Maybe 500K more, but I doubt that estimates are very accurate.
Perhaps a bigger problem is that so many, [removed] have been bamboozled and fallen for all the Biden lies.
[removed]
And how many did not get apprehended and got away? Funny how many on the left don't think about that.
Not just that, but how many of that 1300 were released?... maybe even on the streets of Eagle Pass.
Yep.
Remember, these are the same useless idiots who keep saying "there is no problem at the border".
I wonder how many they didn't catch.
My sources from CBP agents down here on the AZ/Mexico border estimate roughly between 30 to 40% getaway rate.
That is 40 to 60 % too many. And don't forget all those that are let got with a court date and don't show up or those that do show and ignore that they were denied asylum but refuse to leave.
I think the mayor and city council of Eagle Pass should start begging Joe for funding to help support all these aliens.
Seems to be more of a "crises" per capita than NYC or Chicago.
Begging? Hell, they need to be demanding it!
Just another 4000 illegally entered Eagle Pass.
Where is the President or his VP?
We are actually being invaded.
The population of Eagle Pass is only about 29,000. How come they can handle the onslaught and NYC can't handle so few.
Its in a red state, so no liberals give a damn. Its not like Eagle Pass has any choice in the matter when Biden releases thousands and thousands every month into the US.
Because we're Texans, not sniveling whiners.
Evidently!
The feral cats will keep coming as long as they get fed
Always.
FIRST ON FOX : New images obtained by Fox News Digital shed light on the Biden administration's planned ID for illegal immigrants , as officials look for ways to track the volume of migrants being released into the U.S.
Fox News, along with other outlets, reported last year on the ICE Secure Docket Card program last year, which Immigration and Customs Enforcement said will "modernize various forms of documentation provided to provisionally released noncitizens through a consistent, verifiable, secure card."
Leaked images show Biden admin's planned ICE ID card for illegal immigrants (msn.com)
They're people not cats. Dehumanization of a people or culture allows for crimes against them to be ignored. Who else do you consider to be "animals ."
Ignoring their crime of illegally crossing the US border?
Seeking asylum/a better life isn't illegal shouldn't be illegal.
I don't know why I talk to you on this subject, you think it's funny to refer to your fellow human beings as feral cats.
Some act as though it's these migrants who are just seeking a better life for themselves and their families are the ones committing horrible crimes once they're here when in fact I'm sure the exact opposite true - can you imagine how many of these women and even children are probably raped - and abused and fearful of reporting and have crimes committed against them all the time..
Keeping a better life for US Citizens isn't illegal.
What are you willing to give up to accommodate them?
That makes absolutely no sense charger.
They don't stop ONE U.S. CITIZEN, NOT A ONE, From 'keeping a better life', whatever that is supposed to mean???????
I don't have to give up a thing to 'accommodate them' and neither do you.
NYC apparently has reached it's limit of accommodation and wants a federal bailout.
I have no idea why liberals are so damn ecstatic over the US providing housing, food, clothing, medical care and education to aliens instead of taking care of people here that are citizens.
No, it sure isn't!
But here are some examples of those aliens preventing Americans from enjoying their lives:
Seventy Percent of Illegal Aliens in Federal Jails Convicted of Non-Immigration Crimes | Judicial Watch
They add to the overpopulation and overcrowding of this country, which multiplies all other problems,
They lower the wage level which hurts the pay and opportunities for Citizens
"I don't have to give up a thing to 'accommodate them' and neither do you."
You and me are giving up tax money that is spent on them that could be used for our benefit or to lower taxes
It shouldn't matter to anyone that this helps our fellow human beings. Why does it bother you?
I'd rather pay more taxes to help my fellow human beings.
what are they doing to help me? Do they care about me?
They just want stuff
It bothers me that they think we should just let them come here and expect us to take care of them when Citizens who have worked to build up America many for generations, are treated as less deserving and pushed aside
i would rather improve lives of US Citizens than foreigners
That's all ignorance and I refuse to comment any further
Also, (I can't edit my comments) no 'US citizens are being pushed aside. They're not getting a free ride or 'free stuff'
Not true
Very callous view. We should have no problem helping all regardless of their 'citizenship status' for heaven sakes
And we are paying for that stuff.
I don't know why anyone would prefer to feed, shelter, medically treat, and educate foreigners before taking care of our own citizens.
We don't have to spend tax dollars at the federal level, we can just borrow more than the $1.7T that we will borrow this year. Now NYC will have to divert tax dollars which is why they are screaming.
Seems odd we are facing rising deficits in these hey days of Bidenomic successes!
Our published national debt is approaching $33T or about $100K per citizen.
If you add to that, intragovernmental holdings, including debt held by Social Security and Medicare trust funds, then the total is about $160T or about $290K per citizen.
Makes you feel generous doesn't it.
Doesn't seem possible with Bidenomics.
Did Joe do that??
Some liberals are convinced that debt doesn't matter. They generally don't understand finance if they believe this nonsense.
Makes me glad I won't be around to see us fall completely.
They don't see the money so it doesn't exist to them.
Our debt is just numbers on a spreadsheet or in a data base.
Oh, so different than all the college debt loans that liberals want to forgive?
"I would rather improve the lives of US citizens than foreigners."
Bingo, you take care of your own first and foremost!
Biden admin cutting razor wire to make sure illegals have a place to cross.
That is fucking nuts...
But they'll tell you Biden isn't for open borders and is doing what he can.....
And to think of how they attacked certain other press secretaries. Karine Jean-Pierre needs some shock treatment.
I'm surprised that he didn't hurt himself.
Ahhhh Operation Wetback...........................
Biden's handlers can't wait to get them voting. PA just took a big step in that direction.
So you're claiming that illegal aliens will be voting en masse?
Ike could handle things, after commanding D Day removing illegal aliens was light work
It was a much better country then.
Biden just praised the Congressional Black Caucus in a speech for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, maybe that’s why Biden has so much trouble with immigration, all brown people look alike to him.
Pathetic. The thing is, he is reading everything. Did someone screw up with the teleprompter feed..............on purpose or did Joe go "rogue" and insert what he THOUGHT he was reading..............Let's ask KJP...........LOL
I think it's a comprehension issue. It's not like it is something new. This man could screw up a simple "Yes" and "No" answer.
He simply does what he is told.
I'm amazed at those who ignore what he's done to the country.
What I found more surprising is the fact that Biden didn't claim to have been raised by Hispanics and spent lots of time in Delaware with them.
(He already covered the blacks by going to church with them regularly--when he wasn't attending Mass daily or was in a synagogue or with the Puerto Ricans or Poles.)
Just what is it that President Biden 'has done to this country?' other than great things? And undoing the massive damage by the former 'president' and his criminal enterprise of an 'administration'?
tell us about said damage won’t you?
You’re finally catching on 👍
Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas have repeatedly said that they inherited a broken immigration system, yet they haven’t proposed an overhaul of the system.
There are millions of people around the world that could provide a claim that they are persecuted.
We are giving priority to people from Central America that break the law by entering illegally and then claim asylum status to legitimize their entry.
How is this fair to those who follow the rules, apply from their home countries and wait their turn?
Instead of following the law, these migrants find it easier and faster to pay some Mexican cartel to bring them across the border.
Perhaps 2 million have been released in our country since Biden became President and no one knows how many entered undetected. I don’t know how many that were released have disappeared into the country, 1, 2, 4 hundred thousand. Also with the courts now completely jammed up, those pursuing the process legal are further disadvantaged.
Citizens in cities like NYC that have right-to-shelter laws are growing increasingly dissatisfied with the Biden approach.
This will be a 2024 key issue.
