"Record High Crossings Overwhelm Texas Border Communities"

Gut-wrenching images captured migrant toddlers crawling through razor wire at the US-Mexico border, howling in pain as spikes from the wire stick into their flesh. The photos highlight the desperation of the humanitarian crisis, with families and even a double amputee risking their lives to seek asylum in the US. Cartels are using these vulnerable migrants as decoys to distract border agents while they smuggle drugs and criminals across more remote areas of the border. Texas towns like Eagle Pass are overwhelmed by the influx of thousands of migrants, pushing authorities to their limits. Despite efforts to deter migrants, such as razor wire and floating barriers, the number of crossings continues to rise.
