ALERT – In yet another glaring example of Joe Biden's failed immigration and border policies, a mob of several hundred illegal migrants, mostly Venezuelan, attempted to storm the U.S. border checkpoint in El Paso, Texas, on Sunday.
Customs and Border Patrol (CPB) said in a statement that the aggressive mob, some estimated at over 1,000, made a formation and approached the U.S. checkpoint at El Paso, “posing a potential threat to make a mass entry.”
As a result, the primary Paso Del Norte International Bridge was temporarily closed when CBP officers “implemented port hardening measures” at the bridge. Two other bridges in El Paso were also blocked off — the Stanton Bridge and the Bridge of the Americas.
The CPB also said it used physical barriers (aka small walls) and concertina (razor) wire to restrict entry.
Large migrant groups also disrupted two other border crossings Sunday, and CPB noted that barricades were used earlier in the day at both the nearby Stanton border crossing and the Bridge of the Americas crossing.
Dozens of CPB agents carrying riot shields, and some with gas masks, reportedly waited behind the barricades and barbed wire. Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) officers also took up positions alongside CBP officers.
CNN reported: “CBP is working to maintain the legal and orderly flow of entry to the U.S. while protecting the safety and security of legitimate trade and travel, CBP facilities and the CBP workforce,” the agency said.
Some of the migrants told AFP they thought they would be allowed entry because of a supposed “day of the migrant” celebration. Others noted they believed Biden would give them “express asylum.”
Recall that in November, video emerged of a violent confrontation between migrants and US authorities along the Mexican border also in El Paso. Then, too, the aggressive mob was mostly Venezuelan.
At that clash, footage captured by the El Paso Times shows Border Patrol agents approaching the belligerent group — which included a man holding a massive Venezuelan flag — crossing the Rio Grande — where the agents fired pepper balls after officers were assaulted with rocks and flagpoles.
Similar to now, those roughly 800 illegal migrants in November crossed the Rio Grande after rumors that Title 42 had been lifted spread through the Venezuelan migrant camp on the south bank of the river.
Republicans blame Team Biden for the increase in violent encounters and ongoing border crisis after rolling back Trump-era policies such as the Remain in Mexico policy, stopping wall construction and limiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations inside the U.S.
FY 2022 saw a record number (more than 2.3 million) of migrant encounters. This year has been on pace to top those numbers.

Will Trump Dump JD Vance?
ANALYSIS – Is Trump regretting his VP pick? Will Trump tell Vance he is “fired”? When former President Donald Trump selected J.D. Vance as his vice presidential candidate soon after surviving an assassination attempt, some called the choice bold and a doubling down on Trumpism.
I said he could help Trump make his case in 2024 and be the GOP standard bearer in 2028. Still, I also said I would have preferred Trump had picked a woman, and that I had some reservations about Vance as VP, including his youth and inexperience.
