Fox News journalist Bill Melugin tweeted multiple videos showing groups of migrants streaming across the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass, Texas.

BREAKING: The biggest group we’ve seen so far just crossed illegally into Eagle Pass, TX. Several hundred. Many had already crossed before I started recording. This is now the 6th day in a row we’ve seen a massive group cross here in the late AM hours. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/P2Du3169wr

“The biggest group we’ve seen so far just crossed illegally into Eagle Pass, TX,” Melugin stated. “Several hundred. Many had already crossed before I started recording.”

An hour later he tweeted another video showing migrants crossing in an area where Texas National Guard soldiers report more than 2,000 crossed in the past eight days.

NEW: Our drone video of the enormous group that just crossed illegally into private property here in Eagle Pass, TX 1 hour ago. This has happened here every day in the last week. A TX soldier tells us there have been 2,000+ crossings in this specific spot in last 8 days. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/0Tp2XBoiz9

The Biden administration’s response is not to find ways of stopping the crossings or returning the migrants to Mexico. Rather, the president’s team continues to construct more detention centers to more quickly process the migrants and release them into the United States.

NEW: Border Patrol is building a new “soft sided” tent compound here in Eagle Pass, TX, as Title 42 is set to drop in one week. It is meant to increase holding capacity & speed up processing, but BP sources tell me they are pulling agents from across sector to staff it. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/LHff8in5oS

At some point during the day, a Border Patrol agent captured images of a large alligator moving through the area where migrants cross the Rio Grande.

“This area has been a major breach point in the Del Rio Sector since last week,” she reported.
