Or, why didn't the check point at the border disallow their entry into the US? Were they traveling without passport?

Nissy, sorry to barge in on your conversation with Jenifer, but I don't understand your question.  They were not arriving at a checkpoint.  They were stampeding across the Rio Grande River trying to crash their way into the US without any papers, much less a passport.  We're talking more than 100,000 migrants pushing their way illegally into the US between border checkpoints just in September alone; more than 1,00,000 in 2021.  The Border Agents are so overwhelmed they are now simply putting the migrants (we're not allowed to use the word "illegal" anymore) on buses and sending them to wherever NGO's can house, feed and educate them, all at the expense of the American taxpayer.  How do you think the citizens of Norway would feel about that.  

Here is a link to a report from the NY Post, hardly a conservative outlet:  https://nypost.com/2021/07/15/data-shows-illegal-us-border-crossings-on-pace-to-top-1m-this-month/

JurgensenAlm said: WHO made that decision?  And where did all those thousands of people go?

Zarkknorph said:  Most were huddled under a bridge. 

Well, they were certainly huddled under a bridge, all 15,000 of them BEFORE the night you're speaking of.   Here is an article from NBC News explaining how the mess was cleaned up.  https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/migrants-have-been-cleared-under-del-rio-bridge-mayorkas-says-n1280055

Besides I think those border cowboys know full well that cameras R at the ready all the time, by the media as well as the migrants.  

The US is not a banana republic, yet.

I actually knew a federal agent in Arizona who worked the border but not for immigration. He was investigating smuggling.

I have crossed the Texas-Mexico border about fifty times. I owned a business with a branch in Harlingen and I crossed the border as often as possible for tacos and other cuisine.

I'm talking about the 6,000 Haitians who suddenly disappeared FAST with cleaning crews coming in immediately...I wonder what caused that surprise?   I doubt we'll ever know.    

When any migrant makes the decision to force his way into America he may expect to face discomfort.  He COULD have gone through our immigration system.  Choice.  We R not obligated to welcome them.  They R ILLEGALS after all.

You're under the mistaken impression that America has one.

Obviously we do have a workable immigration system because immigrants DO use it and become citizens.

That using our system may B tedious it does work.

700.000 immigrants become US citizens per year.  I just checked it out.
