More troops are being deployed to the border to assist with security as the legal dispute over the Texas immigration law persists.

Hundreds of migrants used makeshift materials like clothes and cardboard to conceal razor wire and successfully bypassed guardsmen in their efforts to surrender themselves to the border patrol.
