A video posted to Twitter by FOX Reporter Bill Melugin created a stir on June 30: it showed a Border Patrol Agent cutting razor wire that was set by Texas DPS on private property in order to let in illegal immigrants. The incident occurred near Eagle Pass, Texas. TXDPS had the owner’s permission to place the razor wire. CBP claimed that the people had already crossed the Rio Grande and were touching American soil so they had to get them out of the heat. So now federal agents can damage fences on private property to let in illegal immigrants? (Daily Wire)
“Video from source in Eagle Pass shows Border Patrol cutting through razor wire placed by the state of TX to allow migrants to enter & be processed after crossing illegally. @TxDPS tells me this is the first time they know of this happening, and that it’s being looked into for potential destruction of TX property. The federal government’s position is that once migrants are on U.S. soil, under U.S. law, they need to be processed, and cannot be repelled or turned away. Texas is taking a much different approach, and has been physically blocking migrants under orders from Governor @GregAbbott_TX TXDPS tells me the location this video was shot at is private property, and that they have permission from the owner to lay down razor wire and arrest migrants for criminal trespassing. This Border Patrol agent is likely just doing what he’s been told – but this will likely lead to more friction between TX & the Feds, who have drastically different approaches at the border.” Bill Melugin
CBP RESPONDS: A CBP official tells me a Border Patrol boat encountered a group of migrants with several small children, and that in order to quickly apprehend them and get them out of the heat, a BP agent cut the razor wire to access the area “consistent w/ federal law”.

If cutting razor wire on private property intended to stop illegal migrants is “consistent with federal law,” then we need new federal laws. We’ve known the asylum system in America needs work to stem the tide of illegals. Now we see something egregious in scope- damaging the property of a state on private property when they had permission to do so. Probably Melugin’s statement that he was “just doing what he was told” is correct – but it is a serious matter.
Several Twitter users suggested putting the razor wire down the middle of the Rio Grande. Texas DPS will launch an investigation to determine the truth in this situation.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
