Photos: Texas National Guard Defends Southern Border From Illegal Immigrants

EAGLE PASS, Texas — Members of the Texas National Guard had a busy Saturday morning in trying to prevent illegal crossings into United States as the small border town has been a very active hotspot, even by the two-year-old border crisis' standards.

Guardsmen in boats and along the banks shouted at groups of illegal immigrants to not cross the Rio Grande. As I previously reported, the Guardsmen's rules of engagement for unarmed illegal immigrants does not allow the soldiers to put their hands on them. This caused a shouting back-and-forth while the illegal immigrants were still in the river. Because the water was around waist deep, the group I was observing made it onto the bank on the U.S. side. The concertina wire placed by the state of Texas under Operation Lone Star kept people from fully entering the country.

Other spots along the Rio Grande saw different attempts at illegally entering the country, some were successful as they find gaps big enough to crawl through, but other areas had enough concertina wire to prevent entry into the United States.

The placing of concertina wire and soldiers on the banks preventing people from further making their way into the U.S. resulted in other groups, such as one on an small island in the Rio Grande, to pause and determine whether they were going to cross that day.
