I ran into Griff Jenkins from Fox News in Eagle Pass this week and we talked about many things border related, especially what I'm seeing from the Mexican side.

The selfie effect is one of the key motivations driving many migrants to continue crossing through Piedras Negras, MX and Eagle Pass, TX.
Another key factor is the free ride they are getting on the freight train. That's how hundreds, sometimes thousands, arrive to Piedras Negras every single day.

As soon as migrants reach the border, they take a photo or call relatives to inform them that they have arrived in the United States. This is the message migrants are receiving, not what officials in Washington are saying.
