(Natural News) Drone footage taken along Rio Grande, the river that serves as the natural border between most of Mexico and the United States, shows sprawling tent encampments stretching out all over the border.
Hundreds of people reside in a massive camp made of tents and other dwellings with thin blue plastic sheets acting as roofs right outside of Brownsville, near the southern tip of Texas. (Related: Thousands of migrants set to flood the US once Title 42 expires this week.)
The drone footage also shows an “enormous line” of illegal immigrants who recently crossed into Brownsville. Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, who shared the footage, noted that a large majority of the illegals are single adults.
“Nonstop flow of illegal crossings here in Brownsville. Working on scripts in my car and look at the window and see another large group gathering for processing after crossing over,” wrote Melugin on his Twitter account. “Border Patrol buses have been coming and going constantly. It’s going to be a very busy week.”
Brownsville is one of the key spots along the border where officials have noted that the illegal immigrants are congregating in the thousands in order to cross, with the other notable crossing points being El Paso, Texas and Yuma, Arizona. But similar situations are developing and getting worse all along the nearly 2,000 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Hundreds of thousands of illegals expected to pour across the border as Title 42 ends
Title 42, introduced in March 2020 in response to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, allowed Border Patrol to expedite the removal of migrants who crossed the border illegally, without giving them the opportunity to apply for asylum and be given protections, under the guise of protecting public health.
The policy was controversial from the beginning, with critics arguing that it violated international law and put vulnerable people at risk. President Joe Biden has been slowly chipping away at it since taking office.
In July 2021, a federal judge ruled that Title 42 can’t be used to expel families with young children. Earlier this year, Biden announced that he would not be extending Title 42, which would allow potentially hundreds of thousands more illegals to cross the border and be given asylum protections as well as many other taxpayer-funded services by the federal government.
Current estimates by Customs and Border Patrol suggest that around 10,000 illegals are crossing the border every day.
