Fox News captured video of over a thousand migrants lining the Rio Grande in El Paso, which has been overwhelmed after the recent surge.

The El Paso sector of the southern border has faced at least 139,000 migrant encounters since Oct. 1, a 255% increase over the same time last year, according to Customs and Border Protection sources. And over the weekend, there was a three-day average of 2,500 migrant encounters, according to Border Patrol.
