   A group of at least 1,000 migrants rushed the Paso Del Norte bridge linking Mexico to the U.S. in El Paso, Texas, on Sunday, to gain access into the United States, video shows.
   
   Crowd control measures were used when the group of mainly Venezuelan migrants continued to press forward, though according to sources at the border, the efforts were thwarted.
   
   Videos show migrants of all ages pressing toward the fenced border, with some putting their hands in the air to encourage others to continue moving forward.
   
   HOUSE DEMS PROPOSE BILL TO GRANT AMNESTY TO MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
   
   Another video shows the moment the migrants pushed onto the bridge and began running for freedom, with a sign above the read, "Feliz Viaje," or, happy travels.
   
   In a third video, migrants were seen gathering on a smaller bridge, while others were observed lining up along the riverbank.
   
   Customs and Border Protection increased manpower in the area on the U.S. side, while the Mexican military attempted to contain the incident on the southern side of the bridge.
   
   Cameras on the bridge that were setup to stream showed an intense build-up at the border, with several CBP agents lined up behind a barricade and razor wire.
   
   There were more than 2.3 million migrant encounters in FY 2022, and FY 2023 has been on pace to top those record numbers.
   
   Republicans have blamed the Biden administration on the increase in encounters after rolling back Trump-era policies like the Remain-in-Mexico policy, ending wall construction and narrowing interior ICE enforcement as reasons for the crisis.
   
   The Biden administration has pushed back on those accusations and have accused Republicans of failing to vote for more border funding and not supporting a sweeping immigration reform proposal introduced on day one of the administration.
   
   In his State of the Union address, President Biden again appealed for Republicans to pass parts of the bill, but lawmakers have balked at the inclusion of a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, which Democrats have indicated is a must.
   
   How long as Citizens are we going to accept this mess at the border?
   
   Have we become a nation of people that just look the other way, and ignore this form of ongoing issue?

      Sherle01, I'm an outsider. It border more on USA citizenship rather than economic cum social qudstions, though that's impled. .                                 Let Americans take up the challenge. I'll watch and go in the rear.

         My true feeling is people hope to come into the country t work. The problem is we need to have our laws followed, including the cap we have for how many we allow asylum in the country each year. We have laws, but the laws are not being followed. The current president seems to feel, IMO. that he needs to send more agents to the border to fully take in millions of undocumented migrants. Instead of just closing the borders for a given time until the Federal government can come up with some solutions to solve this growing problem.
         
         What many citizens don't realize, (it would seem) is that we are a sovereign country, and we need to make that clear to those that think they can just disrespect our current laws. We as a sovereign country have the perfect right to completely close our borders to migrants that are seeking to enter against our laws. We also simply change our laws.
         
         Our congress on either side has come up with solutions. This is my view, is a failure on their part.
