More than 14,000 migrants mostly Haitians gathered under the texas bridge waiting for us to be patrolled on the frozen border to temporarily close the del Rio border.
A good evening for you we have seen is a deteriorating situation, not a day but an hour and we want to show you what it looks like so watch live our fox drone which is the basis of the international bridge here in del Rio law enforcement sources tell me the number of migrants under that bridge currently pushing closer to 15.
This is remarkable when you consider the fact that just a few days yesterday Wednesday, the numbers were almost 4,000, now we press about four times that in just a few days.
As you said the law enforcement and border guards down here are frustrated with not only do they have the capacity to process many migrants, most of them Haitians, but we are also beginning to see many Africans start coming to me from Ghana and Senegal in Angola and have been experiencing it for a long day. a special video that you will not see anywhere else.
Where we managed to get out by boat in the Rio Grande and watched for a long time as migrants came in and out of the wild Cunha on
On the Mexican side of the border crossing the Rio grande using a dam and illegally entering the United States there were hundreds of them crowded on the United States coast some of them bathing in the water changing.
Their clothes before they came but this was happening I love it as a non-stop all day never the rest was a constant scattering of people it was amazing to look at the cars now being pulled up.
Where I was told that the texas DPS did a great explosion of state troops in this area the big army soldiers show here dragging that area of the international bridge I was told by the sources this to work 15,000 wrap-ups have a huge impact on a local community.
The port of Dio Rio is closed for the foreseeable future anyone who wants to officially cross it now has to travel 57 miles east and local conference Tony Gonzalez reports that local restaurants are starting to slow down and some local restaurants now.
It has bees I have asked to close early and make it for the migrants under the bridge this is not just an unexpected incident under the bridge kept in a ruined bubble that we have an impact on this small community of del Rio here in Texas as this situation continues to mature.
Uncontrollably we will send you a bill a quick question do you understand the moral concept or how tense it is between border guards and someone in the community you can say It's red.
Even if they handle it well, it's very high. Sometimes. Now when you talk to any border guard, they're already frustrated by the explosion that's been throwing this into the mix now.
It's yours as you said in the red light. of the capacity, you have maybe a hundred or two hundred agents down there to deal with fifteen thousand people.
It is not right for them to have no infrastructure out here and unfortunately, it does not look like it will recover any time soon due to what you saw in that river than many who come every hour every day well.
it's unbelievable that those men and women walked down the aisle when tammy threw you this you saw this you covered this we walked this way you go until you give someone down there at the border vote the problem have is that with Afghanistan there is a cell proliferation we know that in all of south-central America Europe al Qaeda certainly.
Hamas uh so we are looking at a lot of people so it is not just about security when the crowd goes crazy but then if there are terrorists some cartel power is affected.
There so there are major security impacts nationally and here especially Haitians and others now outside Mexico outside South America come and that we do not know what is going on in the middle of the epidemic.
So it is not just ordinary terrorism but vi of various things that could happen like health as measles as it already is here in America due to Afghan refugees so your very dangerous situation has a huge impact on national security Carly.
"Here is one number I threw this to you than 1.5 million people describe it as a border crossing what do you think it means to the average guy who investigates the station."
When you hear a border crossing that is just a decent way for people to escape the UK bind me I mean you think even including that number to me um proves what the bill said about how much over the border work and this situation is a problem.
People when these people do not have enough food and water the mayor meant that some women give birth under a bridge and it is sad because you have to think.
How hopeless you are these people have to put themselves in that position to enter this country but our country like all other countries has laws we have borders for a reason and tammy right.
The situation in Afghanistan and the situation at the border are connected because there will be terrorism as our border is weaker by this, i'm thinking of a big dam and I like to stick a finger in the space trying to hold on to uh personality.
When you think about the management, in particular, our vice president who was in charge of this how can you measure his performance so far lost by the act Tyrus lost in operation is in place
Howard University game today should be at the bottom of the border guards.
This thing looks I've spent months down here and there covering this border including the Dio Rio sector I was in the summer let me tell you what happened here The rest of Mexico's policy fell in.
Mexico apparently no longer cooperates and allows anyone to include including boxes now these Haitians from Chile and god knows who else is coming across the border.
We must lock everything today and stop this because our agents are not just trying to process the 15,000 people under this bridge Hundreds are coming to the shores and all the lowlands in the Rio Grande as we speak that this is a national and international catastrophe and the Biden administration has a great responsibility to be able to control our borders.
