On Sunday, an estimated 1,000 migrants attempted to push their way across the border on the Paso Del Norte Bridge in El Paso, Texas. The group, many of them young Venezuelan males, rushed forward about 1:30 in the afternoon, reportedly after hearing a rumor that the border would be opened at that point for “express asylum.” The migrants had begun gathering in the early morning on the Mexican end of the bridge in Ciudad Juarez. In interviews with the press, many of the would-be border crossers said they had grown impatient after waiting for months in Mexico for the U.S. to allow their entry.
To prevent the border rush, the CBP deployed at the middle of the bridge its “Mobile Field Force,” a riot control squad that blocked entry from behind concrete and plastic barriers topped with barbed wire, while Mexican soldiers worked to push back the migrants at the southern end of the bridge. The defenses held this time, and while vehicular traffic was halted for several hours, by 5:30 most of the migrants had been returned to Mexico.
Elsewhere, at the nearby Stanton border crossing and at the Bridge of the Americas crossing, other large migrant groups attempted border rushes as well. Those, like the Paso Del Norte event, were also quelled.
Border rushes at Paso Del Norte and other official crossings are not new. In the past, as with Sunday’s attempts, they have been turned back. Eventually, however, as the determination of the world’s excess to live in America grows, and the will to resist on the part of the Biden administration weakens, the defenses will fail. At that time, the invasion of America, at official crossings and at every point in between, will be full on.
