Thousands of mostly Haitian migrants have poured entirely unopposed across the Rio Grande and occupied a massive beachhead here on the Texas side that is unparalleled in size, filth, and as an escalating management challenge to a Joe Biden administration that has so far refused to publicly acknowledge it.
This remarkable development in the border crisis will not be ignored for long as hundreds of new migrants per hour arrive, far faster than Border Patrol agents and National Guard personnel process them.
In barely a week, the number of illegal immigrants who have walked over a cyclically low Rio Grande reached 10,000, city officials - notably not federal representatives - said Thursday during a tightly managed press "Tour" arranged by the city of Del Rio that was stopped some 200 yards from the migrants.
The migrants seem content - for now - to allow themselves to be contained by chain link perimeter fencing on the north to await Border Patrol "Processing" into the United States as temporary legal residents.
The Center for Immigration Studies gained rare access to the Del Rio beachhead Thursday afternoon and toured it by vehicle, despite a media blackout ordered by federal authorities.
The migrants bathe in the Rio Grande and wash their clothing, leaving it to dry on lines strung between trees or on rocks.
Privately, CPB employees have expressed outrage and dismay that the Biden administration is allowing unfettered entry like this, which entices ever more immigrants to head for the new Texas beachhead. This kind of sanctioned mass illegal immigration has been taking place most often hundreds of miles downriver since Joe Biden entered office and dismantled Donald Trump's deterrence-based policies, promised amnesty, and ended most deportation operations.
