The dismissal of riot charges against 211 migrants who stormed the border in El Paso, Texas — a dramatic and violent scene captured on video by The Post on March 21 — is demoralizing for those on the ground trying to control the flow of illegal crossings, a Texas National Guard soldier told The Post.  During the riot, the migrants tore through wire barriers erected by the state and assaulted soldiers, who had been organizing them to be processed by Border Patrol. One soldier had his knee stomped during the chaotic scene.  After the charges were dropped, those accused of taking part in the melee were released from local custody. The lack of consequences will fuel more attacks against authorities at the border, the soldier said. "These El Paso liberals are literally siding with criminals over our own police and military," the soldier, who is working at the border as part of Operation Lone Star, told The Post.
