On Sunday, hundreds of migrants attempted to stampede from Mexico into the United States.
Joe Biden’s detractors demanded improved border security in response to the sudden crush.
The majority-Venezuelan group made an attempt to cross a bridge that connected Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, with El Paso, Texas.
The US border agents wearing riot gear and barbed wire managed to stop the migrants after they managed to get past Mexican security.
Jackson Solis, a Venezuelan who went to the bridge on Sunday, said, “We all ran, and they built a fence with barbed wire around us. “They shot us with tear gas.”
Social media videos showed the gathering, which included a few kids, attempting to cross the bridge before turning around to return to the Mexican side.
Republicans in power criticized the incident. Biden was accused of failing to collaborate with congressional leaders to stop the flow of immigrants by Texas Senator John Cornyn.
