Hundreds of migrants continue crossing the border into an overwhelmed Texas border sector near Eagle Pass, Texas. At one crossing, only two Border Patrol agents were on hand to process more than 100 migrants.
A group of well over 100 migrants streamed across the Rio Grande from Mexico into Texas. A Fox News crew captured the video of the migrants walking up to a gate in the Texas border fencing.

Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported there were only two Border Patrol agents on had when the group crossed. Texas National Guard soldiers deployed under Operation Lone Star stood by to assist. Melugin said the group identified themselves as citizens of Colombia, Cuba, and Venezuela.
There are still more coming. These massive groups are a huge drain on Border Patrol resources. Multiple agents will have to come process. That will leave other parts of the border unpatrolled, and that is where the cartel will push drugs & criminals through. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/LBI5a8QUGQ

The two-year-old girl carried a note with instructions to contact her mother in Dallas, Texas. Melugin said the mother acted nonchalantly and said she expects the U.S. government to bring her daughter to her.
This 2 y/o girl was abandoned by smugglers who gave her to a woman in a big group crossing in here in Eagle Pass. She had a paper with her mom’s contact info in Dallas. The property owner called the mom. She was very nonchalant & expects the US gov to get her daughter to her. pic.twitter.com/WKWIFpDHfq
