A stunning video from the U.S.-Mexico shared by award winning Fox News journalist Bill Melugin went viral on Monday.
What it shows is shocking: A massive, 1,000+ strong human caravan of illegal immigrants streaming across the border into El Paso, Texas completely unchecked.
Over a three-day period, Melugin reported there was an average of 2,460 encounters daily with illegal immigrants in just El Paso — a massive amount.
Overall, it was one of the largest recorded mass migrations over the U.S. border in American history.
Take a look:

How a massive caravan of illegals show up at the U.S.-Mexico border is surprising.
Their 20-something buses were given a police escort to the United States.

The Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol said there were 16,000 encounters with illegal immigrants on the U.S. Southern border in just the last 48 hours.
In the past, the Obama administration once warned that over 1,000 encounters a day with illegals would be a crisis.
NEW: The Chief of U.S. Border Patrol reports there have been over 16,000 migrant encounters at the border in the last 48 hours.
That’s an average of 8,000 per day.Former Obama DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson once said 1,000 in a day would be a “crisis”.
We are 8x that right now.
