Footage from the Del Rio Sector released on Monday showed a group of Venezuelan immigrants upon their arrival to the border, despite the looming presence of Border Patrol agents.<\/p>\n<p>Sector Chief Austin Skero II noted the appearance of an open-door policy has prompted a dramatic rise in attempted entries. Nearly 7,500 immigrants were caught at the border in May, which has been more than any month in the last 14 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have no fear whatsoever of us. You know, they\u2019re coming to surrender,\u201d he explained. \u201cThey\u2019re coming to give up.
