Striking infrared video taken from the overrun southern border shows dozens of migrants jumping the wall and running toward San Diego, as the United States sets a grim new record for illegal crossings this week.
In the video, published in X By the Chief Patrol Agent of the San Diego Sector of the United States Border Patrol, a group of 75 migrants can be seen accumulating on the Mexican side of the wall, near San Ysidro, California.
One by one, the migrants climb over the wall toward San Diego before breaking through the brush and onto a road.
“Massive incursions continue to occur throughout the San Diego Sector area of operations. Yesterday, 75 people were guided by callous smugglers through the border wall near San Ysidro, CA,” wrote Patricia D. McGurk-Daniel in X.
The images come after the United States set a new single-day record on Tuesday, with more than 12,000 migrants crossing the southern border into the country.
Of those, more than 10,200 were detained by Customs and Border Protection, according to Fox News.
As of Wednesday morning, CBP had more than 22,000 immigrants detained at various border crossings, stretching its already scarce resources to the limit.

The shocking infrared images also come as there has been a sharp rise in violence along the border with Mexico involving drug cartels and human traffickers, which is driving more migrants to the United States seeking refuge. of the horrors at home.
The infamous Mexican border city of Juárez has recently been the scene of horrific acts of violence, including severed heads dumped into coolers in local parks and dismembered bodies found in apartment building parking lots or stuffed into storm drains, according to Border Report.
McGurk-Daniel says organized criminal groups will exploit those desperate to escape to help them distract Border Patrol agents.
“Criminal organizations continue to use people as pawns, placing them in dangerous situations as a way to divert Border Patrol resources from our law enforcement mission,” McGurk-Daniels wrote in X.
“The San Diego Sector will continue to address these humanitarian challenges to the best of our ability, while still prioritizing public safety.”

The same tactics have been seen in Arizona, where smugglers are brazenly knocking down wall bollards with power tools to allow thousands of migrants to flood into the United States.
In an interview published in XJournalist Ali Bradley spoke with a 20-year-old Moroccan migrant who said he paid $7,000 to get to the United States, and he doesn’t care if American taxpayers had to foot the bill now that he arrived.
The young man, Osama, said he was unaware of the CBP One application, which allows immigrants to register to enter the country legally.
He added that he would rather commit suicide than return to Morocco because “there is no future” there and thanked President Biden.
“Thank you Joe Biden, for everything. We love you Joe Biden,” he said.
Osama also claimed that he could “easily” find a way to make a living in the United States and that he hoped to make money as an Uber driver in New York, where he said he has friends.
