Wild moment hundreds of migrants make mad dash for the border in El Paso after breaching Texas razor wire

Hundreds of migrants broke through razor wire today at the wall in El Paso, Texas, overpowering border agents who had tried to push them away. 

'Hundreds of migrants were pushed south of the concertina wire in the middle of the night by Texas National Guard,' the border snapper explained. 

'Hours later they again breached the concertina and made a rush for the border wall in El Paso, Texas.'

The migrants are already in the US as they had already crossed the international boundary, which is a few hundred yards south of the border wall.

Many of these asylum seeking migrants had chosen not to turn surrender themselves immediately as this is a well-known place to give up to US Border Patrol agents, because they were caught in limbo due a Texas law SB4.

The controversial law gives state and local police in the Lone Star State permission to arrest illegal immigrants, a right that has only been reserved for federal officers like US Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 

The law, which has been banned several times in recent days by federal courts, was then allowed to take effect for a few hours Tuesday, before it blocked again Tuesday night.

The legal whiplash left many migrants unsure would would happen to them if they turned themselves over to Border Patrol.

Tension had been building up for the last two days as the camp grew.
