FOX News national correspondent Bill Melugin at the U.S.-Mexico border in Jacumba, California on Wednesday reported that "masses of predominantly Middle Eastern and Asian men" illegally crossed the border overnight.
JESSE WATTERS, FOX NEWS: Southern California has become America's hottest migrant magnet. San Diego County officials say the shelter system is completely overrun. Nearly 150,000 migrants have been released on the streets just since September and they come from every corner of the globe. South America, China, the Mideast. National correspondent Bill Melugin caught up with a group of them in the middle of the night. Here's how that went down.
BILL MELUGIN, FOX NEWS: You can see adult men from all around the world are showing up here in sanctuary state California to cross our border illegally in the middle of the night.
Take a look at this video we shot right here in Jacumba, east of San Diego, 2:00 am overnight as masses of predominantly Middle Eastern and Asian men crossed illegally here, very nonchalant. Many of them special interest aliens, meaning they are coming from countries with potential national security concerns. We talked to a lot of them, there was not a single Mexican out here. Take a listen.
MELUGIN: Where are you guys from? What country?
MIGRANT: Pakistan.
MIGRANT: Pakistan.

MELUGIN: All India?
MIGRANT: India.
MIGRANT: Iran.
MELUGIN: Iran? Why did you come?
MIGRANT: No freedom.
MELUGIN: No freedom?
MIGRANT: No freedom in iran. Iran is a dangerous country. No freedom for speaking, for writing, for singing, or thinking.
MELUGIN: We met up with a local resident our here, former U.S. military, he goes out and collects all these discarded passports and IDs that illegal immigrants drop as soon as they cross into Jacumba illegally. He has hundreds from China, from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, many others. Some of them are burned, cut, shredded as these migrants try to destroy some of the documents to hide who they are and where they've been. Take a listen.
MAN: They are just dropping this stuff on the ground to come here and assume a new identity. So it's a little bit scary. From my military background and seeing the people who are coming across, male, male, male, these are all military-aged males. People keep saying that. I've got the proof right here.
MELUGIN: And if you're wondering how some of these people from halfway around the world arrive here at the San Diego border, we have talked to a lot of them, using translator apps. They told us they fly into Turkey, then fly into Mexico, then take a bus up the Tijuana, and then they cross somewhere in this area.
