Almost 13,000 people crossed the border in 24 hours on Monday.

transit center in Eagle Pass.

Migrants are typically held in custody for a few days while they are evaulated by border patrol agents and
then either entered into deportation proceedings or deemed eligible to pursue asylum claims and allowed
into the US.

At Eagle Pass, migrants were seen crossing the river and handing themselves over to border patrol to
seek asylum on Wednesday.

Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-Tx) later posted a short video from inside one of the migrant tent facilities,
showing hundreds of people huddled in a small space as border officers attempt to organize and process
them.
Meanwhile, locals said they are worried about the impact of the influx on their day-to-day, including their
safety.

Magali Urbina, who runs a pecan farm along the Rio Grande, says groups of up to 1,300 people cross the
river onto her property before the National Guard escorts them to the processing area, Fox San Antonio
reported .

“It’s gonna affect us locally, it’s gonna affect

not only the entire United States,” Urbina told the outlet of her
concerns for when the new arrivals are released.

An aerial photo shows the makeshift processing center over the Rio Grande.

“These people, the reality is they have nowhere to go, they don’t have a plan, they don’t have money, they
don’t have permission to be working legally. Lots of things are going to happen because you can already
see they’re getting desperate,” she insisted.

Urbina’s concerns are twofold with the fact that the border patrol checkpoints in the area are closed, she
added.
She and other residents are now calling for federal action to help make sure both residents and the
migrants stay safe.

At Eagle Pass, migrants were seen crossing the river and handing themselves over to border patrol to
seek asylum on Wednesday.
The Department of Homeland security has not released up-to-date figures on the number of people
ejected from the US, only saying “removed or returned over 300,000 individuals” between May and
it

September this year.

International freight train traffic on two routes into Eagle Pass have been stopped as CBP officers have
been diverted to processing the newly arrived migrants.
Operations at one of the two road bridges into the town have also been reduced for the same reason.
“Unfortunately, CBP is unable to support the operation due to the migrant crisis at our border. It was our
continue with the operation remaining hopeful that the migrant situation would be under
full intention to
control by the proposed date, unfortunately that was not the case,” said authorities in an update published
in the Eagle Pass Business Journal.

Many processing centers have reached well over 100 percent of their capacity.

“It’s not only gonna affect us locally, it’s gonna affect the entire United States,” one local said of the influx.

He said the recent practice of people smugglers bringing power tools and cutting wall barriers down to let

The new arrivals came from call over, including India, Guinea, Liberia, and beyond, Melugin said.

Yes Nancy. What’s sad is, most of these people are looking for a better life, which their
wn country can’t or won’t provide. And their country is probably trying to push all those
class “needy” people out. It’s obvious because none of those countries are trying to
them from leaving.

Just push them back into Mexico. Mexico won't allow them into Mexico once we stop
