Migrants can be seen packed into an overflowing Texas processing center in shocking footage that lays bare the spiraling southern border crisis splitting America at the seams.

The video, from Border Patrol’s Central Processing Center in El Paso, shows 750 migrants – who are mostly men – in just one room waiting to be vetted on their way into the US.

The room, which was built for just 120, was littered with makeshift beds and blankets as agents struggled to contend with the huge influx of asylum seekers.

US Rep. Tony Gonzales said the entire center had six times its maximum capacity – 6,000 versus its usual 1,000 – when the footage was taken.

The overwhelming numbers forced Texas to send a third busload of migrants to Washington DC on Sunday where they were dropped off down the road from Kamala Harris’ home.

The Vice President had just hours earlier claimed the end of Title 42 on Thursday was ‘going rather smoothly’.
