With rifles and razor wire, National Guard and state troopers are blocking migrants at the border in El Paso
As cities on the Texas-Mexico border continue preparing for a possible influx of migrants and Title 42 remains in limbo, a shallow spot in the Rio Grande where thousands have recently crossed became the scene of a standoff Monday.
I grew up about 10 mins from the border (US side). It wasn't like that at all. You could cross anywhere out of eye sight from the official crossings back then. Things changed dramatically after 9/11.
