The men form two lines and a border official heads up each line, but at no point during the video are they being interviewed or asked for their documentation.
An almost unbelievable video released Thursday from Del Rio, Texas shows a door at the border being opened and a large group of migrants summarily let into US territory.
At the start of the video, one person after another was allowed entry across the US border. As they crossed over, many of them gave thanks. The guards at the door then suddenly close the door on the remaining sea of people in the crowd.
The narrator comments that it appears that all the people let in are young men coming by themselves. The men form two lines and a border official heads up each line, but at no point during the video are they being interviewed or asked for their documentation.
