Hundreds of migrants stormed National Guard soldiers and breached razor wire near El Paso on Thursday — and the shocking moment was caught on video.
On Thursday morning, hundreds of migrants breached a razor-wire barrier and overwhelmed a small group of National Guard soldiers, video shows. The group of storming migrants then encountered a permanent border barrier, which impeded their illegal entry into the United States.
The group of migrants who rushed the border consisted of mostly men, the New York Post reported.
According to the El Paso Times, some of the migrants had been camping on the banks of the Rio Grande River for three days.

Despite the shocking footage, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said that officials quickly regained control of the situation and arrested some of the migrants involved.
“The TX National Guard & Dept. of Public Safety quickly regained control & are redoubling the razor wire barriers,” Abbott explained. “DPS is instructed to arrest every illegal immigrant involved for criminal trespass & destruction of property.”
Still, the footage is emblematic of everything wrong with the border under President Joe Biden’s control: a seemingly unending number of migrants coming to the U.S., while Texas — not the federal government — is trying to stop the flow.
Republicans, meanwhile, described the incident as an “invasion.”
