Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin published a video clip on Wednesday showing a large number of military-aged Middle Eastern males “illegally” entering the U.S. southern border.
Melugin noted in a post on X that many of the men were “special interest aliens,” meaning they come from countries that are hotbeds for Islamic terrorism and that they were supposed to undergo intense vetting from the Department of Homeland Security.
The illegal aliens Melugin encountered as they entered Southern California were from Iran, Pakistan, China, Turkey, India, and Bangladesh.
“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,” Melugin told Fox News host Jesse Watters on Wednesday night. “Take a look at this video we shot right here in Jacumba, east of San Diego, 2:00 a.m. overnight as masses of predominantly Middle Eastern and Asian men crossed illegally here, very nonchalant.”
He noted that none of the men were from Mexico despite entering the U.S. illegally through Mexico.

Melugin then noted a local resident that he met, who is former U.S. Military, goes out and collects all the 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,” he told Watters. “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.”
