Texas national guards use riot shields to hold back horde of migrants trying to cross through razor wire in Eagle Pass with one person hurling a rock towards a soldier's head
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Texas National Guards were seen using riot shields in an attempt to hold back a horde of migrants crossing at Eagle Pass.

New footage taken of a clash which happened a month ago shows guardsmen narrowly avoid being hit by a rock as they struggle against the steady stream of asylum seekers.

Video shows the reality on the ground as asylum seekers are seen scrambling over razor wire and through mud in a desperate attempt to reach the US.

All the while, the Texas national guard can be seen attempting to block their path using plastic riot shields.

As they jostle the crowd which contains at least one child, a rock is thrown towards one soldier's head narrowly sailing past it.

At one point a female migrant is seen being shunted back across the guardsmen and falling on top of other migrants who scream.

No sooner have the guardsmen closed the gap, another appears further along the border where two more migrants manage to slip through.

Another clip shows a migrant who made it through being thrown to the ground by the national guard.

As he gets up he is escorted to a waiting crowd of people who appears to have already crossed over.

Eagle Pass has become a flashpoint for the migrant crisis with the town struggling to accommodate the steady procession of people arriving from across the Mexican border.

Border Patrol agents in the town ran out of space to process the massive number, and were keeping them in an open field for up to days at a time in a make-shift holding center.

Elsewhere, Border Patrol agents normally posted at roadside checkpoints leading into the US were also been redirected to help in Eagle Pass.
