NBC Reporter Stunned By Number Of Illegal Border Crossings: Crowds ‘Have Never Been This Large During My Reporting’ | Eastern North Carolina Now

    NBC News correspondent Guad Venegas was shocked during his reporting at the Eagle Pass, Texas, border crossing Thursday as he saw firsthand a huge number of migrants illegally entering the U.S.

    This week, Customs and Border Protection have apprehended a record number of illegal immigrants, with more than 12,000 people illegally crossing the border in one day as the Biden administration faces continued calls to address the crisis. During Venegas' report which aired on MSNBC, the correspondent stood by the Eagle Pass border crossing, showing a massive crowd of migrants waiting to be processed as more migrants continued to flow across the border, according to Mediaite.

    "These crowds here in Eagle Pass have never been this large during my reporting. This is the most people I've ever seen in Eagle Pass, and other reporters, colleagues working other parts of the border in Arizona, [and] in Jacumba near San Diego tell me the same thing," said Venegas, who grew up in a Mexican American household near the U.S.-Mexico border in Southern California.

    "We have these conversations and the conversation is always, 'Wow, I've never seen this number of migrants arriving,' and we know from the reports coming from the government with these numbers," the NBC News correspondent added. "We have the number of apprehensions, the numbers of encounters, everything spiking, so we don't know what this will mean moving forward, we just know that the numbers are much larger as the resources are spread thin."

    Venegas said he was told by Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) that the federal government's processing centers and area hospitals are overwhelmed by the number of illegal immigrants.

    "When the U.S. congressman visited this area, Tony Gonzales said that the hospitals are also overwhelmed. So if someone calls 911 and needs to go to the hospital, that hospital might be overwhelmed because they're helping a lot of these migrants, so you have that humanitarian crisis happening as well," Venegas reported.


    The spike in illegal border crossings has caused both Republican and Democratic leaders to urge the Biden administration to take action on the crisis. On Thursday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) pressed President Joe Biden to use executive orders to secure the border while last weekend, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) demanded that the border "must be shut down," telling CNN's Jake Tapper that the Biden administration must "stop this dangerous immigration."

    Earlier this week, Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) signed a bill giving state authorities power to arrest illegal immigrants to help stop the crisis. Abbott's action was criticized by leftist groups and the White House as the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit claiming the law is discriminatory and will target minorities.

Should the Institutionalized Corruption of the Biden /Harris Administration, in this separate instance the Open Border Policy of our Sovereign Southern Border, be not only tolerated, but sanctioned by the raising of local spending by local politicians to pay for these now visible and known effects of rampant, and out-of-control Illegal Immigration?

  Yes, it is a kind thing to do, and a way that our county, our state can aid in this tremendous effort toward local federal foreign aid; and now, thankfully, in great abundance.

  No, our Constitutional Republic WILL NOT continue to exist, as our United States of America, if we do not control our sovereign borders, to protect our citizens, to keep them solvent and safe.

  I only consider what is topical and popular since my friends, too, only care to do the same.

The previous poll on Eastern NC NOW showcased what are many of OUR Constitutional Republic's certain obstacles to remain viable, where the top encumbrance to that continuance as a functioning Republic was the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border. Understanding this overwhelming concern to real America citizens: Do you believe it important to challenge the veracity of those legislated concerns of Democratic Socialists by transporting Illegal Migrants to their Sanctuary cities, counties and states for their direct care?

  Yes; test the depth of their "compassion" by giving Democratic Socialists an opportunity to enact all Sanctuary provisions in their communities to test how much they truly do care.

  No; the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border Project is designed to only inundate "Red States" to begin their Demographic Upheaval for the benefit of we Democratic Socialists, our politics.

  I generally do NOT care about politics, but it is fun watching abject hypocrites squirm; maybe I will start getting more involved.

Considering the current overwhelming obstacles inflicting stress upon America's working class: rampant inflation; energy insecurity; supply chain turmoil; banking failures; foreign policy disasters; government corruption; (DEI) Diversity Equity Inclusion narrative, with WOKE extremes practiced; Climate Change ideology; intractable crime wave in Leftist cities; wide open border by executive design; a permanently discredited Legacy Media; failed or failing education industry, just to name a few of the many: Who should Americans blame?

  Donald J. Trump

  Joseph R. Biden

  Leftist controlled Congress for the last 4 years.

  Bloated, incompetent bureaucracy weaponized and poorly managed

  The electorate, US, for putting these fools in elected office that utterly fail

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?

  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.

  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.

  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.
