New footage shows the moment a boat carrying migrants lands on Malibu beach, causing about 25 people to jump into the waves and run onto the shore – some leaving their old clothes behind as they flee.

Under Trump’s successor, Joe Biden, the number of immigrants entering the country soared as the pandemic ended: 2.8 million people were stopped or turned away at the border last year, the highest number since at least 1980.
The security camera footage was filmed at 1 a.m. on November 28 and obtained by Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, who specializes in migration.

The number of migrants arriving by boat far exceeds the number crossing by land, but the number of landings at sea is also increasing.
