Thousands of Illegal Immigrants Amass Under Bridge in Texas

Thousands of illegal immigrants, mostly from Haiti, are congregating under a bridge in Texas while they wait to turn themselves in to the U.S. Border Patrol.

Illegal immigrants, including Haitian, Cuban, and Venezuelan nationals, are in the area, a Border Patrol source told The Epoch Times.

The illegal immigrants are waiting in the area to turn themselves in to U.S. border agents, who will transport them to Border Patrol facilities for intake and processing, a Customs and Border Protection spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email this week.

The spokesman did not pick up the phone or return voicemails or an email on Thursday as the number of illegal immigrants continued to swell.

Both state and local law enforcement have ramped up enforcement of illegal immigrants, including in Del Rio, where the mayor has pleaded with Biden to stop releasing illegal immigrants as local conditions deteriorate.

One Haitian man, a single male who crossed with some 350 other illegal immigrants from Mexico into Del Rio in July, spoke to The Epoch Times after entering the United States.

The United States recorded over 200,000 illegal immigrant arrests at the border in August, one of the highest months on record.
