The small Texas border town of Eagle Pass broke a record under the Biden administration, and it’s a bad sign of things to come.
In one day, more than 1,300 migrants were apprehended in the small border town.
This exceeds all ten stations in the El Paso Sector combined. 1,100 more migrants were caught at the other eleven El Paso Border Patrol Sector stations.

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin said, “One of the largest mass illegal crossings we have ever seen took place in Eagle Pass, TX this morning.”
“Border Patrol sources telling us over 2,200 people crossed there since midnight,” he continued.
“It happened right next to the port of entry, as illegal immigrants continue to ignore Biden admin messaging of ‘do not come’, & do not fear the promised ‘consequences’ for crossing illegally,” he added.
A source with the CBP said, “We have no other option but complete surrender at this point.”
“Our facilities are full, the NGO shelters have exceeded their capacity as well, and we are releasing every migrant we can just to stay afloat.”
The source was not authorized to speak to the media.
“In just one eight-hour shift, more than 700 migrants were taken into custody” the source explained. “We lack the capacity to deal with it. This system is broken.”
Under Biden, we have seen the highest rate of illegal immigration over 60 years.
In 2022 alone, the US encountered the highest number ever recorded of illegal immigrants at the US southern border. This represents a 200% increase from former President Donald Trump’s last year in office in 2020.
