Video of Border Patrol agents unlocking a gate in Eagle Pass and allowing illegal immigrants to pour through after the National Guard had locked it prompted Senator Rand Paul to call for a âzero tolerance policyâ to be implemented.
Fox News reporter Bill Meliugin tweeted footage of the incident, noting âFor the first time, we witnessed the TX National Guard close & lock a gate on private property at a major crossing area in Eagle Pass, denying entry to migrants who just crossed illegally & expected to be let in. Border Patrol then came w/ a key & let them in for processing.â
Meliugin also noted âBorder Patrol opening gates etc. to allow migrants in is not new. They have to process migrants on US soil per federal law. Whatâs new is TX is now closing the gate & denying entry at this major crossing location. Always open in months past, including this video I shot in May.â
