2:34Now PlayingFootage posted by US Border Patrol Chief Michael W Banks shows the moment a group of migrant men tried crossing the US-Mexico border while disguising themselves as construction workers.
"Disguises won’t fool us! Border Patrol Agents in the El Paso Sector apprehended two illegal aliens attempting to blend in as construction workers near the Paso del Norte Port of Entry. Despite desperate smuggling tactics like these, the reality is that the border is closed. Smugglers are selling false promises and transportation services that only lead to arrest, prosecution, and deportation."
