Fox News
The El Paso Sector of the southern border has seen a massive 255% increase in migrant encounters since Oct. 1, as the end of Title 42 is just days away.
Fox News footage taken Tuesday shows well over 1,000 migrants waiting to enter El Paso after crossing illegally into the U.S. and waiting to be let through a chain link fence. The predominantly Nicaraguan migrants were facing temperatures in the low 30s and could be seen in blankets and starting campfires in order to stay warm.
