Upsetting video was posted showing the moment when the Texas National Guard was pummeled by migrants who broke barriers in place rioting to get into the United States. The incident occurred in El Paso; journalist Jennie Taer wrote “we were there and saw it all happen, Absolute chaos here.”
The video quickly went viral reaching over 16 million views. Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott called upon the state’s National Guard to assist in erecting barriers to prevent illegal entry at places like Eagle Pass, which has been a hot spot for illegal crossing.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reports that the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has reported more than 6.6 million encounters with illegal immigrants since the start of fiscal year 2021, including over 2.2 million in fiscal year 2022. Biden reversed multiple policies initiated by Trump on his first days in office.
The video posted to Twitter on Thursday by Taer is a former Daily Caller News Foundation reporter, who now works for the New York Post. The video shows illegal immigrants rush through the gap opened, almost trampling the National Guard personnel, until coming up against a second, sturdier barrier.
