A migrant with bolt cutters snipped a wire border fence Sunday, then led dozens of migrants through the hole — only to be turned back to Mexico by National Guard troops.
The Post observed as the migrants pulled fencing away and pushed through the state’s concertina-wire barrier near a gate in the wall, entering the US illegally, near El Paso, Texas.
Footage of the incident taken by The Post showed guardsmen appearing and blocking the migrants, and directing them away from Gate 45, which is not a legal port of entry, and back to Mexican territory.
The incident comes days after another encounter a few miles away at Gate 36 in the border — where more than 100 people bum-rushed Texas National Guard soldiers last Thursday.

Razor wire and fencing have been erected near the border by troops from the National Guard and Texas Department of Public Safety to discourage people from crossing into the US illegally and to instead turn themselves in at points of entry.
During Thursday’s attempted incursion, the group of migrants knocked over five guards who tried to stand in their way.
Following that incursion, Texas authorities arrested Honduran national Junior Evaristo-Benitez, 21, and charged him with assault on a public servant, a third-degree felony, Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Eliot Torres said in a statement shared with The Post. Evaristo-Benitez is being held in the El Paso County Jail.

James Freeman: President Obama's $825 billion (and counting) "stimulus" is steamrolling through Congress. One group of conservative Republicans is betting that it will only worsen the country's economic plight. That's where the House Republican Study Committee comes in. "No Trillion Dollar Spending Spree" is the message from this conservative caucus. Led by its new chairman, Rep. Tom Price of Georgia, the RSC now counts more than 100 House Republicans among its members. Mr. Price calls the Democrats' proposal "the non-stimulus plan" and says it "simply won't work" because it offers no market incentives to create jobs. What the plan does offer are multibillion-dollar gifts to state governments, teachers unions, and the environmental lobby, with such gems as a $6 billion program to "weatherize modest-income homes." In contrast, Mr. Price and company have drawn up their own plan, the "Economic Recovery and Middle...
WND: The Irish-born filmmaking couple Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinny are known for their film "Gosnell," which exposed the seamy underside of the abortion industry by turning transcripts and evidence from the trial of the Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell into a cinematic drama. Now, in yet another effort to counter a conventional narrative with first-hand evidence, they're about to release "Obamagate: The Movie," showing how the Obama administration tried to take down Donald Trump.They turned gripping testimony from the 2014 Michael Brown case into a play, called "Ferguson." And lately they did the same with the infamous texts of FBI agent Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page in "FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers," starring Dean Cain and Kristy Swanson. "We would be unemployed if the media did its job," McAleer told WND in an interview. "They're not reporting spin anymore," he said of the establ...
