El Paso: Immigrants Push Past Guards, Tears Down and Rush the Border Fence
Hotair ^ | 03/22/2024 | John Sexton

Reporters for the NY Post were at the border in El Paso today when a group of between 100 and 300 people came across the border from Mexico and tore down some fencing before pushing past members of the Texas National Guard and rushing the border wall.

The Post witnessed around 600 migrants amassed at the international border on the Mexican side, who the Texas National Guard were attempting to push back in small groups amid a ‘spring surge’ of migrants arriving to the southern border hoping to get asylum in the US...

A group of men with hoodies, gloves and winter jackets then pull the fencing away as a group of five guards form a defensive position to fill the gap.

Some migrants can be seen putting their hands up in surrender in the video, but seconds later, others scramble through, knocking the guards out of the way.

Some people are describing this as a riot. Here's what it looked like.

This is the moment when TX National Guard became overrun by migrants rioting to get across the border here in El Paso today

This appears to be video shot from the Mexican side of the border filmed by a Mexican journalist. I'm not sure if this is before or after the clip above.

Hundreds of migrants were pushed south of the concertina wire in the middle of the night by Texas National Guard. Hours later they again breached the concertina and made a rush for the border wall in El Paso, Texas. #Border #Texas pic.twitter.com/d4sZib29BI— J. Omar Ornelas (@fotornelas) March 21, 2024

So what happened next? The NY Post reported the migrants were pushed back to Mexico, but Gov. Abbott posted on X that he instructed DPS to arrest the immigrants involved.

Gov. Abbott also released this statement to the media:

The surge today in El Paso is the direct result of the unsustainable chaos President Biden has unleashed on the border. The Texas Military Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety quickly gained control of situation and are working to repair the damage. These illegal immigrants committed crimes in Texas, and the Department of Public Safety is under instruction to arrest every illegal immigrant involved for committing criminal trespass and destruction of property.

Fox News reported tonight that at least one person was arrested.

Here's some video shot by a local news channel showing an arrest being made by the Texas National Guard. They have one guy down on the ground as his wife/girlfriend tries to argue with them.

But that may have been the exception to the rule. CNN arrived several hours after the incident and they saw the migrants being taken in by the US Border Patrol to be processed. That video isn't available for embedding but you can watch it here.

The big story here is not just what happened today but the way in which it will impact the ongoing political fortunes of President Biden. His case to America has been that he is managing this problem but you wouldn't know it from this clip. This looks a lot more like the chaos that Republicans have been warning about.

Biden wants third world criminals, members of terror cells, Chinese nationals, Iranians state actors to come here. It's not a mistake. Democrats invited these types on purpose.

Biden's goon could just as easily have taken the lists of people wanting to immigrate here LEGALLY and allowed the first 20 million on those lists to come here.

That's NOT what Biden chose BECAUSE IT'S NOT WHAT HE WANTED..

Democrats did not want to let in people who waited on lists for ten, sometimes fifteen years because Biden and his goons and filth are trying to destabilize the country. It's intentional. Maybe the cartels paid them off... we don't know. We know it's a choice that doesn't make sense.

DEMOCRATS WANTED THIRD WORLD ILLEGALS OVER THE PEOPLE WHO WAITED ON LISTS FOR DECADES TO COME HER LEGALLY.

Why?

BIDEN WANTED THE ZOMBIES... NOW HE'LL LIE ABOUT WANTING THE BORDER CLOSED. Biden thinks his base is that stupid.

Your opening line bears repeating. The game plan is apparent: this is the chaos that precedes the D "remaking".

The R party had better man-up and get serious as it is becoming more obvious every day. The "tipping" will accelerate exponentially and it could produce many uncomfortable generations.

Shoot them..

At least butt-stroke them; and you and know that does not mean pat them on the fanny.

Of course, their fellow invaders will have to be encouraged to drag them back into Mexico or U.S. taxpayers will bear the medical cost.

If I recall correctly, we had some brave border guards under (that spineless pimp) jorge busho. Those brave men went to prison.

This is pathetic.

Wanna stop this crap? Shoot the enemy invaders. We do it for our allies when they are invaded. Why not here?
