A reporter from Forbes Magazine published stunning new footage from the US-Mexico border this week; showing migrants, children, and adults walking into the United States and being released into Texas "within hours."Gateway Pundit reports on a brazen industrial-scale smuggling operation. The coyote in this particular run was caught, but not all the illegals:
"I'm at the Texas-Mexico border. This is one of the underground processing areas that has been setup under a bridge. This is where families are actually coming and unaccompanied minors will just show-up here during the night," said journalist James Langford.
"They go through a basic screening. If they have a child that's six or younger then all these folks will be released into Texas within a couple hours," he added. "All these folks will be released into the United States with a 'Notice to Appear' at court. Some of those hearings are three years later."
In the video, what appears to be 100 illegal aliens are being unloaded in the small Texas town 100 miles from the Mexican border. Pearsall had a population of 9,240 up until this semi-trailer was unloaded. The small city prides itself on being safe.Smugglers are not particular about how they go about their activities. Border Patrol is woefully understaffed and underfunded to deal with these situations. The children were fortunate to be rescued:

🆘They're still coming 🆘PEARSALL, Texas — Video sent to KENS 5 NEWS shows dozens of migrants pouring out of a trailer in Frio County. The Frio County Sheriff's Office told KENS 5 the incident caught on video took place around noon Monday in Pearsall, near the intersection of Oak and Nueces streets.
According to the Pearsall Police Department, a person driving behind the truck saw arms and then someone's head sticking outside of the truck's small door. That witness called police.
Authorities said the driver fled along with the migrants and tried to blend in with group once authorities got there, but they were able to identify him as the driver and arrest him. They described the migrants as dehydrated and "soaked in sweat."
In total, 65 migrants were apprehended. The driver of the truck was arrested and placed in federal custody; it is unclear what charges the driver will face at this time. Authorities did not elaborate on the whereabouts of the migrants.
Pearsall PD said they were getting 911 calls from local residents saying they were spotting migrants running through their yards well into the night.
This comes as Republican lawmakers blame the Biden administration's border policy for a surge in migrants at the Texas-Mexico border. In a letter addressed to President Joe Biden Tuesday, Gov. Greg Abbott demanded answers to what he called a "humanitarian crisis at the southern border."
Officials in south Texas also say they're observing an increase in human-smuggling operations at the U.S.-Mexico border, which they say endangers those being transported.
This is a catastrophic disaster. Joe Biden told them to come and now they're coming by the truck Load, literally.
Call @governorabbott@govabbott Governor of Texas and demand he deploy additional resources to the border to stop the invasion. (512) 463-2000
Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas) said Tuesday that the Biden administration was warned by Border Patrol officials about a large surge of illegal immigrants if Trump-era immigration policies were dismantled.
....
Van Duyne said that there are Customs and Border Protection officials "who are at the end of their rope" in dealing with the surge.
"They're doing what they can but they're also very frustrated, realizing that they had actually warned this administration what would happen if they decided to push back on policies that were put in place by the previous administration that were working," she told Fox News.
She added that Border Patrol officials under Trump "were keeping children with their families. They were keeping people over the border. They were keeping them in the first safe country that they came to and what we're seeing is a massive surge now at the borders and the response from the administration, instead of actually reversing policies that have caused this surge.
The Biden administration said that it was Trump's migration policies that triggered the surge, while President Joe Biden during a news conference last week suggested that the number of people crossing the border is routine and occurs every year.
Some NGO groups who spoke to the Wall Street Journal also suggested that the messaging from the administration is encouraging women and children to try and illegally migrate to the United States.
"It's great that the U.S. is welcoming women and children," Pastor Abraham Barberi told the paper at a shelter in Matamoros, Mexico. "But they're also sending the message to families: 'Let's leave everything behind because our children will make it across the border.'"
"We're basically encouraging moms and babies to cross the river, which is not right. And they're willing to do it," Andrea Morris Rudnik of Team Brownsville.
The Department of Homeland Security was contacted for comment.
"As national organizations that advocate for diplomacy, arms control, disarmament and peace, we are deeply alarmed by the recent negative exchanges between leaders of the two countries with more than 90 percent of the world's nuclear warheads in their arsenals. As Americans, we urge the Biden administration to stop participating in such reckless rhetorical exchanges and to instead vigorously pursue nuclear-arms negotiations with the Russian government."Among the groups that signed on to the statement are Justice Democrats, Blue America, Demand Progress, Our Revolution and Progressive Democrats of America, all of which are left-leaning organizations.
