A Solution to the Illegal Immigrant Problem Mysteriously Appears In El Paso, Texas
Quote:The illegal migrant problem is out of control as our porous border allows thousands of people to stream into the country with little to nothing to stop them from doing so. The Biden administration hasn’t just done nothing to help, they actually punished Border Patrol agents for doing their jobs.
The solution to the problem is rather simple. More agents and equipment at the border and a wall. All Biden had to do was do what his predecessor President Donald Trump did. Instead, he took the opposite route and instead sent his VP, Kamala Harris, south of the border to ask them nicely.
Needless to say, it didn’t work, and the illegal immigration problem got far worse.
Texas is, by far, the worst state being hit and countless stories of farmers and ranchers stumbling upon horrific scenes and witnessing crowds of illegals trekking through their land are common. Apparently, someone had had enough and came up with a solution.
If a wall won’t be built, then we’ll erect a fence.
In a video posted by Bill Melugin of Fox News, a fence suddenly popped up in an area where migrants had been steadily streaming across the border and into the state. At this time, it’s unclear who put it up, whether it was the feds, the city of El Paso, or the state of Texas.
Border patrol vehicles can be seen behind the fence while dozens of illegal immigrants who had expected to get in easily stand waiting nearby it.
No doubt, if border patrol agents weren’t there to guard it, these migrants would be scaling the fence rather easily, but this seems like a temporary fix to a very serious problem. The fact that the migrants are waiting and not turning around to find a different way around suggests they’re still expecting to be let in at some point.
According to WATE-TV, El Paso residents are “on edge,” and for good reason:
El Paso residents living in the area told NewsNation they’re overwhelmed as some migrants are coming onto their properties.
“This has never happened before. Never. I feel very unsafe and not secure at all here,” said resident Carmen Wilburn.
Wilburn cares for her 86-year-old father in their El Paso home. She said she often sees undocumented migrants jumping the fence and running through her and her neighbors’ yards.
“They can hide in the bushes, by the bushes on the side of our house, and so I don’t even want my granddaughter to stay here. It’s scary,” Wilburn said.
Josie Martinez, another resident who lives down the street, said two men who were running through the neighborhood stopped and pleaded with her for a ride.
“They came and they passed, they stopped me, I was getting in my car and they asked me if I could please give them a ride to a motel or somewhere and I told them I’m sorry, I can’t,” Martinez said.
These complaints could have contributed to the fence’s appearance as the city’s politicians became a bit too uncomfortable with their constituent’s anger. Either way, it’s clear that something needed to be done as the migrants were getting incredibly invasive and dangerous.
Whoever put the fence up is finally doing something that needed to be done a long time ago.

More than 2,500 illegal migrants cross US border into El Paso in 24 hours
Quote:A surge in illegal border crossings over the weekend saw an average of 2,460 encounters per day with US Border Control, mostly in downtown El Paso, Texas.
Footage from the area posted to Twitter on Tuesday afternoon by Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin showed a "huge line of hundreds of migrants who have crossed illegally into the US [who] are waiting to be taken into Border Patrol custody."
"Most expect to be released into the US. Many will be. CBP & local shelters overcapacity," Melugin added.
Busloads of migrants are allegedly being dropped off by Mexican Police at various non-governmental organizations in the city of Ciudad Juarez, then illegally cross the border into El Paso.
Officials believe that the situation will only worsen when Title 42, a pandemic-era policy that allowed authorities to quickly and efficiently expel migrants on public health grounds, comes to an end in a little over a week.
Earlier in the day, Melugin posted footage from the Mexican city of Matamoros, across the border from Brownsville, Texas, where thousands of migrants are waiting until the day that Title 42 is dropped before making the trek across the border.
Despite the Biden administration's assurance that the end of Title 42 will not change anything, Republicans are concerned that removing this safeguard will signal even more strongly that the borders are open, according to the Daily Mail.
"As was the case before Title 42 and will remain the case after it, individuals who attempt to cross the border unlawfully, and don't have a legal basis to remain will be subject to removal," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was in El Paso on Tuesday to assess the situation.
Republicans have been highly critical of Mayorkas, arguing that his policies have largely ignored the crisis, or even exacerbated it.
Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona held a press conference Tuesday afternoon calling for the impeachment of Mayorkas
