Authorities in one Texas border area are seeing a huge surge of mass migrant crossings ahead of the election — as sources say the groups are in a rush to make it into the US before former President Trump wins.
Migrants are “without a doubt” rushing because “they see that their free lunch is most likely coming to an end,” a Border Patrol source told The Post.
More than 300 migrants are turning themselves in to border agents each day in Maverick County, which is home to Eagle Pass, according to multiple Border Patrol sources.
It’s roughly double what they were seeing just a few weeks ago.
Among the large groups crossing into South Texas are more migrants from countries deemed as “special interest” due to being hotbeds of terror suspects — including Iran, Angola, Guinea and Pakistan.
For months, the summer heat and Texas’ crackdown on illegal crossings kept the groups out. But now the migrants are growing desperate under the wire of the election.
Trump has pledged to toughen border restrictions and to deport illegal migrants en masse.
“Everyone wants to get in in case Trump gets elected,” said a Border Patrol source.
