by BOB PRICE 12 May 2022

Hundreds of migrants continue crossing the border into an overwhelmed Texas border sector near Eagle Pass, Texas. At one crossing, only two Border Patrol agents were on hand to process more than 100 migrants.

A group of well over 100 migrants streamed across the Rio Grande from Mexico into Texas. A Fox News crew captured the video of the migrants walking up to a gate in the Texas border fencing.

There are still more coming. These massive groups are a huge drain on Border Patrol resources. Multiple agents will have to come process. That will leave other parts of the border unpatrolled, and that is where the cartel will push drugs & criminals through. @FoxNews

Melugin called the group, “One of the biggest single groups I’ve ever seen during my border trips to Eagle Pass.”

The two-year-old girl carried a note with instructions to contact her mother in Dallas, Texas. Melugin said the mother acted nonchalantly and said she expects the U.S. government to bring her daughter to her.

This 2 y/o girl was abandoned by smugglers who gave her to a woman in a big group crossing in here in Eagle Pass. She had a paper with her mom’s contact info in Dallas. The property owner called the mom. She was very nonchalant & expects the US gov to get her daughter to her.

This was one of many groups witnessed crossing the border in the past 24 hours. On Wednesday evening, Melugin tweeted another video showing a group of more than 110 migrants who crossed illegally. Another 150 crossed in the same area earlier in the day, he stated.
