EAGLE PASS, Texas — Two Texas National Guard soldiers assigned to Operation Lone Star were disciplined after cutting razor wire along the bank of the Rio Grande, according to a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The soldiers reportedly cut the wire to give access to migrants with small children who had been standing in the hot sun for hours.

The CBP source, not authorized to speak with the media, told Breitbart Texas on Thursday that a Texas National Guard colonel informed the agents that two soldiers had been relieved of duty after they allegedly cut the razor wire.

The disciplined agents reportedly asked the agents on Thursday if they could cut the wire instead of the agents. They said they could cut it in a way that would be “easier to repair,” the source stated.

Texas Military Department officials confirmed the removal of the two solders. They also indicated the removal of two supervisors as well.

“Two soldiers and their supervisors were immediately removed from the mission today for not following instructions to only cut wire in the case of an immediate medical situation to render aid,” the official stated.

Border Patrol agents have been seen cutting the razor wire to admit migrants who have, frequently stood for hours in the heat after crossing the Rio Grande into Eagle Pass, the sourc. The agents are required under controlling federal law to admit the migrants who have arrived on U.S. soil — even if they crossed the border illegally.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the U.S. Constitution gives the federal government the exclusive right to regulate immigration.

In 1903, the Court in the Japanese Immigrant Case reviewed the legality of deporting an alien who had lawfully entered the United States, clarifying that an alien who has entered the country, and has become subject in all respects to its jurisdiction, and a part of its population could not be deported without an opportunity to be heard upon the questions involving his right to be and remain in the United States. In the decades that followed, the Supreme Court maintained the notion that once an alien lawfully enters and resides in this country he becomes invested with the rights guaranteed by the Constitution to all people within our borders.

Eventually, the Supreme Court extended these constitutional protections to all aliens within the United States, including those who entered unlawfully, declaring that aliens who have once passed through our gates, even illegally, may be expelled only after proceedings conforming to traditional standards of fairness encompassed in due process of law.

Should not be cutting the wire!

Make them go back.

Get more boats in the water to keep them out of here.
