It was a chaotic scene at the border today in El Paso, Texas as over 100 illegals tore down razor wire and stormed the border, all the while knocking down Texas National Guardsmen.
Below is a video of what happened:
Here’s more from the New York Post:
A group of over 100 migrants attempting to enter the US illegally rushed a border wall Thursday, breaking through razor wire and knocking over guards in the process.
The Post witnessed around 600 migrants amassed at the international border, 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.
The situation grew tense as women and children were separated from adult males and video shows the migrants then crying out for help and rushing to the border gate.
“We have women and children, we’re hungry,” The Post heard one male migrant scream, even though the children were already in the group being prepared for processing into the country.
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.
The group then runs to the border gate and starts to shout at the national guardsmen on the other side. The Texas National Guard then quickly moved to secure the area.
The Post observed the guardsmen firmly holding onto their rifles and standing their ground before the migrants, who heavily outnumbered them. A few put their hands directly on the migrants and shoved them backwards in response to being pushed.
“Get the f— back,” one guard yelled.
A source told The Post the group has since been pushed back to Mexico.
