Recently, a Texas reporter based near the Rio Grande Valley area witnessed a stream of hundreds of migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in attempts to claim asylum.
From 6 in the evening to midnight, nearly 300 would-be migrants entered the United States and turned themselves in to Border Patrol agents.
While the groups started small, the numbers of migrants quickly grew, with over 100 at a time entering the country.
As the reporter spoke to the detained migrants, many discussed their plans of entering the US in search of better jobs and economic opportunities, rather than asylum, with one woman claiming to have recently undergone a gastric bypass procedure.
#BORDERNEWS 10:55 PM Update. We’re at Rincon Village. Very close to Mission, TX. Same area as a previous update but these are completely new people. A totally new group of 50+. As I tweet this there are more coming up to meet this group and approach Border Patrol. #Immigration pic.twitter.com/k1Gw5UaKHF

More are still walking up near Rincon. Buses leaving. #Immigation #Texas #RGV #BorderReports pic.twitter.com/IUImtYPwEz

Outraged conservatives took to social media to react, overwhelmingly demanding the abused asylum and immigration processes be addressed.
How oppressed are you if you just had a gastric bypass? @scrowder Please note this interesting fact. I mean, what is she fleeing. Overpriced Whole Foods and greasy food? Give a whole new meaning to a crunchy gordita.

All these people are well dressed clean well fed and have $ to pay the cartels to get them across the border. They sure don't look like refugees fleeing their country seeking asylum to me. And how oppressed can you be if you can afford gastric bypass surgery.

I wonder how many people come to the border already sick and get free healthcare. Then blame USA if someone dies like a child…when already sick for a long time. Even the woman with gastric bypass…as if she should’ve made the journey after that surgery.
