Last November, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (right) declared an invasion on Texas’ border with Mexico, invoking the constitutions of the United States and Texas.
Millions illegal aliens have crossed the US southern border with Mexico since Joe Biden took over the presidency on January 20, 2021 and rejected President Trump’s successful policies that had secured the border.
On Sunday evening, hundreds of illegal immigrants were seen in a long line in Brownsville, Texas, after crossing the border from Mexico days before Title 42 ended.
According to FOX correspondent Bill Melugin, most of those who had recently arrived appeared to be single adults. Many others online appeared to be carrying nothing more than a small plastic bag containing essential documents.

Melugin added that there is a steady stream of illegal immigrants specifically in Brownsville, Texas.

“On the way for the day – even more large groups show up after crossing illegally. The flow hasn’t stopped all day,” Melugin added.

Now, days away from the expiration of Title 42, the head of one of the largest non-governmental organizations (NGOs) near the border now says the border is in crisis.
TX: “There was no crisis until now…” Sister Norma Pimentel of RGV Catholic Works says lifting of #Title42 causes an immigration crisis. She says they are working to make more space available in the shelters, as officers say the numbers are already unsustainable.
