Texas Governor Greg Abbott recently shared a video on social media of Border Patrol agents carefully removing razor wire installed by Texas authorities along the U.S.-Mexico border.
It quickly went viral. (RELATED: Mexican Cartels Sending Migrant Mobs To Overwhelm US Border Agents)
In response to the uproar, Texas Border Czar Mike Banks posted a video of the Texas National Guard replacing the missing barbed wire in Eagle Pass, Texas.
Eagle Pass, a border town of 30,000, has been inundated by migrants wading across the Rio Grande. Earlier this week, Mayor Rolando Salinas Jr. declared a state of emergency.
Salinas, a Democrat, is requesting further state and federal resources to address the migrant crisis that is worsening each day.
The Wall Street Journal has more on the surge in asylum seekers:
On Thursday morning, roughly 100 migrants, primarily from Venezuela, lined up on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande, waiting in muddy, calf-deep water for U.S. authorities to take them into custody. The group appeared to be a mix of families and adults traveling alone. One toddler stood with water up to his waist, holding his mother’s hand.
Ahead of them stood several layers of razor wire, on which discarded clothes and children’s shoes were snagged by people who left them behind.
“We suffered a lot in our country. We won’t go back,” one woman in the group shouted, pointing backward to Mexico. The woman said she had been traveling for two months. “We’re cold and tired,” she said.
Amid the chaos, a 3-year-old drowned crossing the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass Wednesday, according to Texas authorities.
Adjudicating asylum requests for a single family can be a grueling process, often taking years to complete.

Biden and all his democrat cohorts need to be deported to Mexico and Trump put in the White House. Then he can start what was once known as the Operation Wetback – thanks to Eisenhower. We need to do it again and send every single invader into Mexico since they refuse to hold them at their own southern border.
Curse the ones at the other end supplying and encouraging the damned invaders to even start the journey. This rotten usurping filthy lying administration should be hanged for what they are doing to America.
