The 10,000 illegal aliens who await entry into the United States at the border down of Del Rio, Texas, are overrunning the city. Another 10,000 are on the way, Fox News’s Bill Melugin reported this morning. And the Biden Regime is ignoring it.
Senators Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida, along with Rep. Tony Gonzalez of Texas’s 23rd District are begging President Biden to do something … and blaming him for the deluge of humanity. Gonzalez’s district includes the besieged town.
“This manmade disaster was caused by Joe Biden,” Cruz tweeted.
Yet Biden isn’t ignoring it completely. His Federal Aviation Administration put flight restrictions over the area to stop Fox News’s drone flights that capture video of the catastrophe.
Critical Mass
The number of illegals, many of them Haitians, has more than doubled since September 15, when 4,000 had massed under the Del Rio bridge.
“The city is now completely overrun and our border patrol is overwhelmed. President Biden and Sec. Mayorkas need to act NOW,” Gonzalez warned when the figure was a mere 4,000.
But that number quickly doubled to 8,200, as Melugin tweeted early yesterday.
Now, more than 10,000 of the penniless “migrants” are there. The population of Del Rio is about 36,000.
“I am on the ground in Del Rio, Texas tonight,” Cruz wrote late yesterday:
As of this moment, there are 10,503 illegal aliens under the Del Rio International Bridge. This manmade disaster was caused by Joe Biden. #BidenBorderCrisis
Even Rubio, who supported the Gang of Eight amnesty for illegal aliens, is concerned enough to say something:
A new migratory crisis has emerged over the last 72 hours on the southern border
A new surge of migrants has overwhelmed Border Patrol agents and thousands of migrants,including small children,are now crowded into dangerous impromptu camp
And thousands more are on the way.
No Pics?
When the illegals will simply break-out and trample the already-overwhelmed Border Patrol is open to question. But when it happens, Americans won’t see it, at least from the air, if the FAA’s rule stays in place.
Last night, the federal agency grounded Fox’s drone, which has shown the enormity of Biden’s failure in living color.
“We’ve learned that the FAA just implemented a two week TFR (Temporary Flight Restrictions) over the international bridge in Del Rio, TX, meaning we can no longer fly our FOX drone over it to show images of the thousands of migrants,” Melugin tweeted. “FAA says ‘special security reason’.”
Melugin followed with details that suggest the Biden Regime wants to hide the invasion:
@FoxNews has been covering the border nonstop for almost 7 months now, we use the drone constantly, and it has never been an issue. We have reached out to the FAA to ask for clarification on why this TFR was implemented. We haven’t heard back yet. Will update if/when we do.
Later, Melugin reported that the FAA downed the drones because they interfered with “law enforcement flights” and that the media could appeal the rule.
Small Fraction
But blocking the drones would have done no good anyway. The news from Del Rio is out. The Border Patrol is overwhelmed because Sleepy Joe opened the borders by rescinding many of President Trump’s border security initiatives.
The 10,000 at Del Rio are just a small fraction of the total that border agents caught in August and will catch in September. Late this morning, Melugin reported that law enforcement sources said another 10,000 were on the way to join those already packed under the bridge in the city.
As The New American reported of the latest border data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, agents apprehended more than 200,000 illegals in August, just as they did in July.
The total on the year is more than 1.5 million. The total for the fiscal year, which ends in 13 days, could exceed 1.7 million.
As news of another throng of 10,000 approached Del Rio, Biden left for the beach.
