Jaw-dropping video shows elated migrants running wild toward El Paso, Texas, after crossing the Rio Grande, and crawling under treacherous barbed wire.
In drone footage taken by The Post, a toddler can be seen jumping and cheering alongside two other toddlers as a group of about seven adults slides under the sharp wire that extends beyond the edge of the international divide. .
The group of migrants continued celebrating as they crossed the desert sand toward the border wall, which did little to prevent their entry into the United States.
Once a migrant crosses the river, they are on US soil and automatically have the right to be welcomed and processed by the US Border Patrol.

The group is just one of thousands who have successfully crossed the southern border in recent months, ultimately placing crushing pressure on cities across the country.
In September alone, more than 260,000 immigrants crossed into the United States, setting a new monthly record that rivals the population of citizens living in St. Petersburg, Florida.
In an effort to quell the overwhelming rush and deter more people from entering the country, border agents have placed a second stretch of barbed wire on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande.

The drone video also shows Texas National Guard authorities stationed along holes in the fortress, forcing migrants to backtrack through barbed wire before they can settle in the United States.
Officers are also seen in the footage using their pickup trucks to kick up dust along the barbed wire to further deter migrants from crawling under it.
The immense wave of immigrants arriving in El Paso (more than 2,000 per day) has overwhelmed border controls, which have been forced to release immigrants onto the streets due to insufficient resources.

The Biden administration this week announced a plan to build a new wall along Texas’ southern border by waiving more than a dozen federal laws.
In a marked shift from its previous stance on the barrier wall, the administration said it would plan construction in areas with “high trespass.”
“There is currently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the United States border to prevent illegal entries into the United States in the project areas,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement. a statement. notice published in the US Federal Register
