Mexican cartels' social media misinformation blamed for rush of migrants to Texas border bridge

Border officials react to the El Paso rush of 1,000 migrants, fueled by false social media posts by cartels about the border being open.

"What we saw at El Paso, that's an example of failed border policies. That's why we're seeing this mad surge of people coming across the border and also waiting in Mexico," said Olivarez on "The Faulkner Focus."  Elizabeth Heckman is a digital production assistant with Fox News.

The Facebook post claimed that CBP would allow migrants to cross the El Paso bridge on Sunday if they showed up with children or had an "extreme" asylum case.
