BORDER: Watched at least 15 rafts loaded with illegal immigrants cross the Rio Grande during several hours in Roma, Texas, last night.
They heard to come to the U.S. and bring kids. #BorderCrisis
Another raft load: Most who crossed were from Honduras, but also a few from Guatemala, and a couple from Ecuador.
They said they came now because of Biden. #BorderCrisis
The smuggler said he had about 40 more people to bring across. Rafts can be seen crossing upstream and downstream from this location. #BorderCrisis
Several heavily pregnant women were in the rafts. One woman had a 40-day-old baby with her. All adults had at least one child with them. #BorderCrisis
All of the illegal immigrants we asked said they had family already here in the United States. Cities/states they are heading to include: Chicago, Houston, Boston, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Dallas, Alabama, Virginia, North Carolina. #BorderCrisis
One group said they had taken 20 days to get here. Another said they spent 12 days on the other side of the river in a stash house in Mexico before crossing. Most (incl the kids) were wearing white wristbands, used by the cartels to keep track of their cargo. #BorderCrisis
After taking the raft across, the illegal immigrants had a short walk up to the road, where Border Patrol processed them before busing them to a border station in La Grulla. They'll likely be released today. #BorderCrisis

BORDER THREAD: Cubans arrive by bus to Acuna, Mexico, then grab a taxi to near the Rio Grande, which is the U.S.-Mexico border.
Taxi drops the four Cubans off and they walk to a track that goes to the shore of the Rio Grande. They're charged 50 pesos for the taxi -- about double the regular price.
The Rio Grande comes into view at the top of the track and the path is well worn. Two older men are raking through the trash looking for anything of value.

“This is ground zero in the battle against illegal alien sanctuary," says @michellemalkin at a rally against Montgomery County’s #sanctuary policies that have contributed to 8 rapes by illegal aliens in recent weeks.

Just watched 2 groups of Africans from Congo and Angola cross illegally into Mexico from Guatemala across the Suchiate River on tube rafts. 8 men, 4 woman, 6 kids.
One guy from Angola said he took a boat to Colombia (10 days), walked through jungle for 10 days, and has spent 2 months getting this far (to Mexico).

Angolan woman said she flew to Panama first. She has a 2yo with her.
Mexico's Foreign Minister said the 6k troop deployment was complete for the Mexico-Guatamala border, but none have shown up at this busy crossing in southeast Mexico.
