Hiding the Evidence: Media Blocked From Scene of Border Storming in El Paso

We told you about the chaotic scene in El Paso, Texas, Thursday when a horde of illegal aliens swarmed the fences at the southern border and clashed with the National Guard.

In another post, she revealed that some of the illegals sported gang tattoos:
