We rode along with Border Patrol on the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass to get a firsthand look at how much has changed along this stretch of the border. In this week's Texas Border Watch, we share with you what we saw on that tour from a perspective most people don't typically get to see. Eagle Pass was previously the epicenter of illegal border crossings, not just for Texas, but for the entire country. At the height of the surge, thousands of migrants crossed there every day, filling a field in Shelby Park as they waited to be processed. Today, the scene is dramatically different. As we pushed off from the bank and toured the stretch of river, all was quiet. Border Patrol agents say that silence speaks volumes. They told us they can now patrol the river for miles without seeing a single migrant attempting to cross — something they say was “unheard of” just a couple of years ago. Watch this week's Texas Border Watch for a full look at that tour and our full interview with Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Milton Moreno.
