As a result of Joe Biden’s open border policy that has been letting hundreds and thousands of illegal migrants enter the United States, recently a massive group of illegal migrants crossed into the US waving a large Venezuelan flag and, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), attacked Border Patrol agents before being pushed back into the river as agents used crowd-control measures.
According to media reports, the incident, partially caught on video, saw a group of Venezuelan migrants crossing illegally into El Paso, Texas, as they waved the enormous flag. Agents can be seen pushing migrants back into the river while firing pepper balls near them to control the crowd.
In a statement, CBP said a group of Venezuelans had attempted to illegally enter the US while protesting along the Rio Grande’s international boundary.
The agency said one of the protesters assaulted an agent with a flagpole while another threw a rock at agents, injuring one in the process. That in turn led Border Patrol to initiate crowd-control measures.
“These measures included the use of the authorized less-lethal force pepperball launching system”, the statement said. “The crowd then dispersed and returned to Mexico”.
The agency said that its Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) will review the incident.
The chaotic incident comes as the migrant crisis, which has roiled the southern border since early 2021, continues to see streams of large groups of migrants cross into the US illegally. On November 1, 2022 morning, a group of 300 mostly single adults crossed illegally into Normandy, Texas.
In just the Del Rio Sector alone, Border Patrol reports more than 50 large groups of more than 100 migrants since the beginning of October.
Republicans have already accused Biden administration, saying that its policies of rolling back Trump-era border security and enforcement have only served to draw more migrants to the southern border – with many of them being released into the US.
But Biden administration visibly is doing nothing in stopping the worrying size of illegal migrants entering the US, as most of the policymakers of the Democratic Party see illegal migrants as their future vote banks. Meanwhile, Biden administration is trying to show the massive migrant influx as the result of poverty and violence in Central America. It although claims to be working with authorities in Mexico is checking the migrant floodgate, according to experts, such measures or promises are mere eye-wash.
According to US Border Patrol, there were more than 227,000 migrant encounters in September, taking the total number for fiscal year 2022 to more than 2.3 million – a new record high. But surprisingly, the Biden administration says it has seen a decrease in the number of Venezuelan crossings in the immediate weeks after the new enforcement operation was put into place.
Meanwhile, Texas authorities have been involved in a number of car chases involving smugglers and illegal immigrants. In Kinney County, the local sheriff’s department pulled over a speeding vehicle with paper plates, finding eight illegal migrants being smuggled inside.
Video obtained by Fox from Kennedy County showed troopers from Texas’ Department of Public Service chasing a group of migrants after they bailed out of a vehicle following a human smuggling pursuit.
It was earlier reported in this newspaper that thousands of human traffickers as well as members of drug cartels have already succeeded in entering the United States being melted in the massive crown of migrants. Additionally, hundreds of jihadists, terrorists and violent extremists also have entered the US during the presidency of Joe Biden.
