“We thought the agents were going to tell us something,” one Ecuadorean migrant said. “But we just walked in.”
According to a New York Post report, U.S. officials have opened 114 floodgates along the Arizona border wall to allow water to flow freely during the annual monsoon season and for the migration of an endangered species of antelope.
But the move also means a free for all for illegal migrants.
From The New York Post:
The move is also letting an average of 1,400 migrants from as far away as China casually walk into the country daily — with overwhelmed and outnumbered border agents practically helpless to stop them.
“We thought the agents were going to tell us something,” one Ecuadorean migrant said. “But we just walked in.”
Said another from Cuba: “It was so easy to get into the US.
“Nothing like our journey through Mexico. That part was hard,” she added. “I thought there was going to be more security.”
Video taken by The Post shows a group of around 50 migrants strolling through the opened gates and into the US, with nobody stopping or questioning them.
Smugglers are capitalizing on the floodgate blunder, driving migrants by the busload to the border and dropping them off as if they were casual tourists. Once across, they turn themselves in to border agents and say they are seeking asylum.
Border Patrol agents call them “give-ups.”
