A massive group of immigrants, who are illegal aliens, crossed the Rio Grande River into El Paso, Texas, on Sunday. It could be the largest such gathering in modern history.
The Washington Free Beacon reported that Mexican authorities helped the illegal immigrants, who were traveling in a large group, cross the river into the U.S. Authorities reportedly escorted about 20 buses full of migrants into the city of Juarez, which is across the border from El Paso.
The large group of immigrants, which the Daily Mail referred to as the largest in history, has already caused severe overcrowding in El Paso's shelters and hotels. Despite the city's pleas for help from the federal government, the White House reportedly pressured the mayor to cover up the situation.
The crossing occurred nine days before the policy known as Title 42, which was implemented by the Trump Administration, was set to expire. It was used to address the mass immigration issue, citing the COVID-19 pandemic as an example of a public health crisis caused by illegal immigration.
Despite the Trump Administration's use of Title 42 to reduce immigration levels, former Vice President Joe Biden has repeatedly tried to end it. After his administration took steps to end it earlier this year, a federal judge ruled that the policy should be put to an end. Despite this, several Republican-led states have been challenging the decision.
The end of Title 42 led to a spike in illegal immigration, as many people believed it would be easier to enter the U.S. This resulted in a massive border crisis, as millions of immigrants flooded across the border. The surge in illegal immigration was fueled by Biden's promise during his time in office to provide amnesty and other taxpayer-funded benefits to illegals.
