A shocking new video shows federal agents calmly unlocking gates at the border to let illegal immigrants stream into the US amid an alarming, record-breaking surge.
Drone video footage obtained by Fox News initially showed more than a dozen unsure-looking immigrants standing behind a locked gate on the Texas border.
Another clip then showed a Border Patrol agent calmly opening the gate, allowing a group of more than 25 border-crossers to stroll in — then locking the gate behind them again.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott accused the Biden administration of “enabling illegal immigration.”

Texas’ tough Gov. Greg Abbott — who has been shipping border-crossers to Democrat-run safe-haven states and cities, including the Big Apple — was among those expressing outrage at the latest video.
It comes as sources told the same network that 2,001,034 “migrant encounters” have been recorded this year, a new record that dwarfs the 1,277,177 from this time last year.
“Unbelievable,” he tweeted. “While Texas secures the border, the federal government is enabling illegal immigration.
“Biden’s open border policies caused this crisis. The federal government must do its job & fix it,” he wrote.
Fox News’ Bill Melugin said he watched Border Patrol agents open the gate that had been locked by members of the Texas National Guard, who watched as the immigrants streamed into the country.
Members of the Texas National Guard had locked the gates before Border Patrol agents stepped in.

“It is clear the Border Patrol unlocked the gate,” a spokesperson for the National Guard told The Post, referring further questions to the other agency, which did not immediately respond.
