The Trump campaign should just re-run over and over the New York Post's video of a mob of illegal immigrants breaking through a Texas National Guard barricade in El Paso. What border crisis?
This is the moment when TX National Guard became overrun by migrants rioting to get across the border here in El Paso today

We were there and saw it all happen. Absolute chaos here. pic.twitter.com/VN6Kf663ie
The New York Post's Jennie Taer who was there at the scene reports that the Texas National Guard confiscated knives and claimed one illegal immigrant tried to grab a gun.
SCOOP: TX Guard confiscated knives from migrants who rushed border, one tried to grab gun

We're also told that TX authorities are reviewing video to determine which migrants were involved & are weighing state charges. https://t.co/B8a48XcNqp @nypost
Weighing state charges? But Sen. Chuck Schumer said a Texas law allowing the arrest of illegal immigrants was an "extreme right-wing" policy.
Taer reports:
Authorities confiscated knives and shanks from migrants who surged the border wall in El Paso on Thursday, The Post has learned.
The swarm of migrants overwhelmed Texas National Guard soldiers who were arranging them into groups to be taken into Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) custody. During the chaotic incursion, at least one person also tried to grab a soldier’s firearm, a National Guard source told The Post.
“These people were willing to assault military,” the source told the Post. “They were willing to assault law enforcement. They have complete disregard for our laws.”
Some troops were treated at a nearby hospital for minor injuries.

They are not 'migrants'. They are criminal aliens.

Weighing?

Charge all of them and hold them as prisoners of war.

As we reported, even MSNBC's Al Sharpton has used the word "invasion" to describe what's going on at the border.
They were just trying to get first in line for those Tyson jobs, this is totally not an invasion.

They just want to pick our vegetables and clean our toilets, the Democrats insist.
Then they were handed pre-paid debit cards, phones and voting ballots.

Taer says they were all processed and released anyway.

Of course, the invasion continues.

No surprise there. I am glad that the border is secure.

Processed and released is the first step in LEGAL immigration...

And the majority of women are still going to vote for more of these men to invade their cities. I just don't get it.

But that "bipartisan" Senate bill that President Biden backed would have prevented this — it's the Republicans' fault for note securing the border.
