Full title: Busy El Paso crossing shut down after protesters threaten to overrun facility, border official says
(CNN)Demonstrators in Mexico spurred US Customs and Border Protection to shut down an El Paso, Texas, border crossing, one of the country's busiest ports of entry, early Monday, according to agency spokesman Roger Maier. Border officials shut down the crossing just before 2 a.m. (4 a.m. ET) after "a large and unruly group formed on the Mexican side," Maier said. The demonstrators "posed a threat to overrun the facility," he said, forcing CBP to employ "port hardening measures" and preventing travelers from entering the United States via the Paso del Norte International Bridge. No arrests were reported on the US side, Maier said.

The group, between 250 and 300 strong, was composed largely of Cuban and Salvadoran migrants who gathered at the border around midnight, CNN affiliate KTSM reported. A witness told the station the protesters were chanting, "Vamos a cruzar," Spanish for, "We are going to cross." The group dispersed before 6 a.m., KTSM reported.
Shut them ALL down. Now.
Because Invasion is a civil right
But only if you’re a non-white
I think that is what should happen. My idea close the border using military, stop all immigration until we can get things under control.
Not going to happen, not enough support for doing that.
The socialist useful idiots cry for open borders and have no clue what that would really mean.
“what that would really mean”
Phoenix ends up as Culiacan.
The term “protester” keeps expanding to include criminal and violent behavior that the media hive mind wishes to downplay.
The whole country will be like that, far faster than most can imagine since the cartels are already working here.
They sure don’t want their brainwashed people anywhere near the truth.
There was an article the other day where the reporter called a coyote smuggler a “brush guide” so am sure that is coming with the new socialist vocabulary.
So much for Mexico “helping”. What a load of steaming feces.
CLOSE THE E N T I R E SOUTHERN BORDER, AND HIT MEXICO WITH TARIFFS NOW!
Time for real troops with real ammo.
Mexico’s idea of helping and ours are different. Not mentioned in the article but I heard Mexican LEO did help disperse the crowd.
I agree.
NOTHING was done when caravan number one rolled on through America. How many will be let in by the end of the summer? I would not be surprised if the number is closer to a million.
