Shocking photos reveal the overcrowded and filthy conditions illegal migrants are living in after being intercepted while crossing the US southern border.
Photos from the former acting commissioner of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection reveal the disaster taking place at two migrant holding areas in Texas.
The photos revealed more than 1,000 immigrants shoved under a bridge in Anzalduas Park, in Mission, all facing 100-degree heat and disgusting bathroom facilities with overflowing waste.
Meanwhile, the Rio Grande Valley processing station - which has space to hold 600 migrants for processing - is currently housing 12,000, with no end to the onslaught of people in sight.
'The White House said migrants are being handled in a humane and orderly way,' Mark Morgan, the former commissioner said.
'This isn't humane or orderly, and it's not the Border Patrol's fault. They are doing all they can to deal with the disaster created by Biden.'
Speaking to DailyMail.com Friday, Morgan explained how July's figures - 210,000 migrants intercepted crossing from Mexico, were the highest in history, and just 10,000 short of 220,000 recorded on a single month during the 1990s.
Mark Morgan, President Donald Trump's former commissioner of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, says conditions at the migrant holding facilities around the border have not improved since Biden took office
Twitter Privacy PolicyNEW: This is the largest group of migrants we’ve ever seen being held by Border Patrol under Anzalduas Bridge in Mission, TX. Looks like it could be up to 1,000 people. We can only get a look at the area with our drone. There’s a popular Rio Grande crossing area nearby. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/AsAygsO966

He added that while he heard of stories of no showers and toilets available to migrants during President Donald Trump's terms in office, little has been done, despite Biden's calls for change.
Morgan, who now works for educational institute The Heritage Foundation in Washington DC said an estimated 300,000 migrants have successfully crossed into the US without being intercepted since January.
He added that 50 of those caught by border patrol agents have convictions for murder.
He shared how people have been forced to sleep huddled close to one another under bridges in 100F weather, despite COVID fears. Many of those migrants are hungry, with mothers struggling to breastfeed their children, and basic hygiene facilities in short supply.
Morgan criticized the Biden administration's handling of the situation,
