Elected leaders across Alabama continue to speak out against the Biden administration’s border policies after video of migrants rushing the border went viral Thursday.

The video taken by The New York Post showed several hundred illegal immigrants rushing National Guard troops at the southern border in El Paso.

According to FOX News, it was 300 illegal immigrants and roughly 100 adult males who rushed the soldiers. Only one has been arrested so far for assaulting a solider. WATCH:

Update: Per Texas law enforcement source, this involved a group of several hundred illegal aliens, mostly single adult men who rushed the soldiers, and one has been arrested so far for assaulting a soldier. More arrests likely coming for destruction of property & more assaults. https://t.co/fea8QDEdXs

“There are consequences to crossing the border illegally, and CBP continues to enforce United States immigration laws,” Customs and Border Protection said in a statement. “Individuals and families without a legal basis to remain in the U.S. are subject to removal, and are subject to a minimum five-year bar on reapplying for admission and potential criminal prosecution if they subsequently re-enter without authorization. No one should believe the lies of smugglers; individuals and families without a legal basis to remain in the United States will be removed.”

U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) reacted to the video and said this is the “real March madness.”

This is the real March madness, and it's endangering American families.

Biden could bring back Trump's border policies with the stroke of a pen and end this today, but he chooses to put us at risk instead. https://t.co/4ymy6jNTEk

U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) said this is more evidence that what’s going on at the border is an “invasion.”

This is more than just chaos, this is an invasion.

President Biden has the authority to stop this at any moment. We must secure our borders immediately. https://t.co/PtJL2etgcO

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) also called the border crisis an invasion.

And Democrats say this isn’t an invasion… https://t.co/hpfrXDy0Sc
