El Paso neighborhood overrun with migrants as border crisis rages: ‘We don’t know if they have guns’

As El Paso becomes the number one location for immigrants to cross into the US, residents of the Texas city tell The Post they’re now overrun with illegal immigrants who are coming to their neighborhoods, prowling through their yards and may be carrying weapons.

“It’s real bad because sometimes there’s up to 10, 15 of them running all over,” Luis Lujan, who lives near El Paso’s Ascarate Park, less than two miles from the border, told The Post.

In the area where Lujan lives, migrants either climb over the border wall or cut holes in the nine-foot barrier dividing the US from Mexico.

Lujan first noticed immigrants in his neighborhood two years ago, as they ran through the neighborhood to evade Border Patrol. He said they often end up hiding in people’s yards.

“Ever since Biden said, ‘Come on over,’ they’re coming over,” Lujan said. “This was like a freeway to them.”

Lujan’s neighbors are mostly elderly residents with modest incomes. He explained they report the illegals to US Border Patrol.

“They’re afraid — we don’t know if they’re going to break into our houses,” he said. “We don’t confront them because we don’t know if they have guns. We don’t know if they have knives.”

In October, a Border Patrol agent who was chasing a group of illegal immigrants near Ascarate Park was beaten, dragged and punched, the FBI said. Venezuelans Kevin Escalona Gonzalez, 35, and Yeleixy Fuentes, 27, were taken into custody and are charged with assaulting the federal agent.

“Assaults on Border Patrol agents or any other federal agents … will not be tolerated and will be addressed swiftly by our office so they can continue to carry out their sworn duty to protect our communities,” said FBI El Paso Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey R. Downey.

Why is the 101st Abn Div on the Romania-Ukraine border, instead of on the Texas-Mexico border?

But assaults on Americans and destruction property will be tolerated.

We'll never get rid of these mongrels and the demonRATs are to blame. I hope every name on the DNC voter rolls suffers from this plague.

Do you know if you have guns?

Unfortunately, the country proved Nov. 8 the border is not a primary concern to voters.

What are they complaining about. In Texas, it’s legal to open carry. Time to go hunting. If threatened, shoot first then investigate.

It’s Texas, I’m sure you can obtain weapons legally. Body armor is available online, you can get a decent set of Level 3+ for around $500. Discuss defense of your neighborhood and homes with neighbors...

LOL. 5 million have come across since Biden has been in office. Somehow, I don't think the border patrol won't be able to help you on this call.

Our lives are at risk here and our government absolutely does not give a shit! They care more about a queer club shooting then they do about thousands upon thousands of American citizens being affected and threatened by illegals! Unfortunately folks I’m going to tell you it’s gonna come down to Americans taking this problem into their own hands! The anger is boiling over in every border city ….sooner or later people are going to have had enough and it’s going to become a a wild wild West again! If you get my meaning!

It looks like our own version of CAMP OF THE SAINTS by Raspail, for real!

Still, not a great situation. No sure winners in a gunfight.

Just a few years ago when Trump started the wall, the El Paso politicians wanted to tear down the existing segments of wall…suck it up El Paso blue ballers…

El Paso’s Ascarate Park

Spent many a weekend playing Volleyball there in the late 70's, constant parade of Low Riders circling the park.

Occasionally shots would ring out, we'd all hit the ground, and by rule the point/side out being played at the time of the shots was re-played.

“This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed” is a good read with practical examples of black community defense as well. Along with plenty of examples of why the 2nd Amendment was a critical tool of the Civil Rights campaign.

As stated before on a different thread (but same subject):

This problem could have been completely resolved with 4 to 6 well placed snipers with flash suppression (2 man teams). Rotate in 4 to 6 hours shifts depending on the team size. Rotate locations on all ingress points. Overhead drones to show results. Transmit said video back to source country.

Operators should be NON-CBP; possible contracted via black bag (off books).

End result: said ingress stops cold within 30 days.

Rinse, repeat as necessary.
