EL PASO, Texas -- A standoff between hundreds of migrants and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in riot gear Sunday afternoon blocked the Paso Del Norte international bridge connecting El Paso and the Mexican border city Juárez.

There were also temporary disruptions when groups of migrants showed up at two other border bridges in El Paso, a border protection spokesman said in a statement. Barricades were used at the Stanton Bridge from 2 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. and at the Bridge of the Americas from 2:45 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. Sunday.

At the Paso Del Norte Bridge, officers stood behind concrete and plastic barriers topped with barbed wire blocking the border at the middle of the top of the bridge before what appeared to be hundreds of migrants.

About 1:30 p.m., the border protection agency's Mobile Field Force, a riot control team, was deployed when a large group of migrants threatened to make a mass entry, the agency said. A special response team and U.S. Border Patrol agents assisted border protection officers.

...

The migrants, who were of various nationalities but mainly Venezuelans, were demanding entry into the U.S. amid rumors that the border would be opened for express asylum, the Norte Digital news website reported from Juárez.

Some of the migrants could be heard on videos during the bridge rush saying Customs and Border Protection's online asylum application launched this year was not working properly.

Oh well, feel free to do as many crimes as you like, then.

Mexico's president Lopez-Obrador says that fentanyl is the US's problem, not Mexico's.

Well that's kind of true.

But we can make it your problem in two years, Mac.

Mexico's president said Thursday that his country does not produce or consume fentanyl, despite enormous evidence to the contrary.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador appeared to depict the synthetic opioid epidemic largely as a U.S. problem, and said the United States should use family values to fight drug addiction.

His statement came during a visit to Mexico by Liz Sherwood-Randall, the White House homeland security adviser, to discuss the fentanyl crisis. It also comes amid calls by some U.S. Republicans to use the U.S. military to attack drug labs in Mexico.

The Mexican government has acknowledged in the past that fentanyl is produced at labs in Mexico using precursor chemicals imported from China. Fentanyl has been blamed for about 70,000 opioid deaths per year in the United States.

"Here, we do not produce fentanyl, and we do not have consumption of fentanyl," López Obrador said. "Why don't they (the United States) take care of their problem of social decay?"

Again, you can't argue with the part about us welcoming social decay as if it's a Christmas president.

But he's lying about fentanyl not being produced in Mexico. Obviously it's being smuggled from there. We bust people smuggling fentanyl from Mexico all the time, despite Biden's best efforts to defang Border Patrol and CPB.

So he's just playing mob lawyer for the narcoterrorists in his country. And why would he do that, unless he was on the payroll.
