Border Patrol agents are evading capture by legal immigrants who are growing weary of waiting.
An American concern about security is justified, according to a Turkish migrant.
Border Patrol agents were spotted waiting for illegal immigrants to cross the southern border, while the immigrants called for rides from Lyft as they grew tired of waiting.
In California, Planet Chronicle reported on migrants who had crossed the southern border and were waiting for several hours for Border Patrol agents to pick them up and process them.
Frustrated by waiting for federal authorities, some Colombians used a ride-sharing app to hail a ride and jumped into the car when it arrived.
It was unclear if the driver was aware that they were transporting undocumented individuals.
The San Diego sector has been dealing with high numbers of people, causing Border Patrol agents to feel overwhelmed.
Groups of illegal immigrants from Pakistan, China, India, and Turkey were observed by Fox wandering near the border. In contrast to California's liberal stance, Texas has taken a more aggressive approach by launching its own operation to construct infrastructure and prevent illegal immigrants from entering the U.S.
An illegal immigrant from Turkey, who spoke to Fox, revealed that he paid $10,000 to a cartel and urged Americans to be concerned about the lack of security he witnessed.
"American people are correct in their belief that the identity of those entering the country is unknown. However, what if they are not good? What if they are killers, psychopaths, or otherwise? There is no guarantee of that."
The migrant stated that he entered the United States without any security, security checks, or background checks.
He expressed concern about border crossings because "people are not typical."
He revealed to Planet Chronicle that his journey to the U.S. took him 24 days and involved traveling through Qatar, Dubai, Egypt, South Africa, and Brazil before he arrived in Central America.
The Senate once again rejected a bipartisan border package, with some of its own authors among the opponents.
