Infrared footage shows dozens of migrants leaping over border wall
Astonishing infrared video from the overrun Southern border shows dozens of migrants pouring over the wall and running into San Diego — as the United States set a grim new record in illegal crossing this week.
In the video, posted on X by the Chief Patrol Agent of the US Border Patrol’s San Diego Sector, a group of 75 migrants can be seen amassing on the Mexico side of the wall, near San Ysidro, Calif.
One by one, the migrants slip over the wall into San Diego before racing through through some brush and onto a road.
“Mass incursions continue to occur throughout the San Diego Sector Area of Operations. Yesterday, 75 people were guided by callous smugglers over the border wall near San Ysidro, CA,” Patricia D. McGurk-Daniel wrote on X.
The footage comes after the US set a new single-day record Tuesday, with over 12,000 migrants crossing over the southern border into the country.
Of those, more than 10,200 were taken into custody by Customs and Border Protection, according to Fox News.
By Wednesday morning, the CBP had more than 22,000 migrants in custody at various border crossings, pushing its already strained resources to the breaking point.
The shocking infrared footage also comes as there has been a sharp uptick in violence along the Mexican border involving drug cartels and human traffickers — which is driving more migrants into the US seeking refuge from the horrors back home.
The notorious Mexican border city of Juarez has recently been the site of horrific acts of violence, including severed heads dumped inside coolers in local parks and dismembered bodies found in apartment building parking lots or stuffed in storm drains, according to Border Report.
McGurk-Daniel says the organized criminal groups will exploit those desperate to escape to help them distract Border Patrol agents.
“Criminal organizations continue to use people as pawns by placing them into dangerous situations as a means of pulling Border Patrol resources away from our law enforcement mission,” McGurk-Daniels wrote on X.
“San Diego Sector will continue to address these humanitarian challenges to the best of our ability, while still prioritizing public safety.”
The same tactics have been seen in Arizona, where smugglers are brazenly cutting down wall bollards with power tools to allow thousands of migrants to flood into the US.
In an interview posted on X, journalist Ali Bradley spoke to a 20-year-old migrant from Morocco, who said he paid $7,000 to reach America — and doesn’t care if American taxpayers had to foot the bill now he has arrived.
The young man, Osama, said he was unaware of the CBP One App, which enables migrants to sign up for legal entry into the country.
He added he would rather kill himself than go back to Morocco because there was “no future” there and thanked President Biden.
“Thank you Joe Biden, for everything. We love you Joe Biden,” he said.
Osama also claimed he could “easily” find a way to earn a living in the US and that he was hoping to make money as an Uber driver in New York, where he said he has friends.
