Video shows hundreds of migrants pushing at gate into United States 

New footage shows from Texas shows a group of at least 300 migrants pushing at gates on the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday morning, with the reporter saying that the majority eventually were allowed in.

Bill Melguin, Fox News‘s correspondent, filmed the scenes at the Del Rio crossing, 150 miles west of San Antonio.

‘A Border Patrol agent told me this was the biggest single group he’s ever seen in Del Rio & that they’re glad troopers from Florida & Nebraska were here to help man the gate with Texas troopers,’ Melguin tweeted on Monday. 

‘Almost all ended up being let into the US.’

He said that families were let through first, followed by single men. Many were taken away on buses, he said.

Customs and Border Protection revealed that 188,829 migrants were stopped at the southwest border in June

United States officials said on Friday that the number of migrants arriving at the southwestern border last month was the largest in years — a sign that the surge this year may extend into the hotter summer months, when numbers typically start dropping. 

Customs and Border Protection revealed that 188,829 migrants were stopped at the southwest border in June, the sixth monthly increase since the start of 2021.

It was also another increase on the 180,641 who were apprehended in May. 

The number of new migrants to arrive at the southern border since October is just slightly lower than the last surge in 2019 during the Trump administration, the agency said. 

It means that one million people have been apprehended since October. 

These statistics just account for the apprehensions, and doesn’t include the migrants who cross undetected.

According to reports, that is up to 1,500 additional people every day. 

It is still not immediately clear where exactly these asylum seekers and illegal crossers are being sent after they are transferred out of federal immigration agencies’ custody. 

The June numbers mean that analysts predict 2.3 million people could cross into the US by the end of 2021, if the pace of apprehensions and those who avoid detection remain the same. 

From January to May, 711,784 migrants were encountered by Customs and Border Protection at the southern border — five times the amount during the same period in 2020 

The number of crossers already reported by CBP since the start of 2021 surpasses the population of several large U.S.

cities, like Boston and Nashville. 

It is also more people than the total people living in the least populated U.S. states of Wyoming and Vermont.   

This is based on CBP monthly figures of encounters at the southern border, reports that 1,500 migrant ‘get aways’ cross from Mexico without being captured and forecasts based on the trajectory of these statistics staying the same until the end of the year. 

CBP reported that 711,784 migrants were apprehended between January and May, five times the amount during the same period in 2020. 

But these figures do not include the average of at least 1,500 foreign nationals who escape capture, known as ‘got aways,’  according to a
