Cameras were rolling during a bold and bizarre illegal border crossing near El Paso, Texas last week.




While a mass to honor those who have died trying to cross the border was underway several more illegal immigrants pushed through the fence.

Several border patrol agents watched...and kept their distance.

One man pulled the fence open while others slipped through.

The fence actually divided the ceremony.

Half was in Mexico, the other half in the U-S.

At least six people pushed their way through the fence during the ceremony.

Some easily got lost in the crowd.

16-year-old Ivan lives nearby and says he crosses back and forth all the time.

He claims he is paid up to $100 for helping folks find freedom north of the border.

Ivan eventually ran along the fence and jumped over, back into Mexico.
