DANA PERINO (ANCHOR): A Fox News alert, a rare celestial event collides with a policy failure on the ground. The southern border will be directly in the path of totality today when the moon covers the sun for nearly 4 minutes. And welcome to a brand new hour of America's Newsroom, I'm Dana Perino. We are one hour closer.
...
BILL HEMMER (ANCHOR): So don't overlook that, check it out. We are told that officials are bracing for higher traffic than usual. That means a real opportunity for smugglers and cartels and migrants to come right in. Fox News has reporters far and wide following the total solar eclipse as it crosses the U.S. but the first location of totality is actually the southern border. And that's where we find Bill Melugin live in eagle pass, Texas, a place you are well familiar with, Bill. Good morning.
BILL MELUGIN (CORRESPONDENT): Yeah Bill, good morning to you. We got double duty down here in Eagle Pass today. Eagle pass actually expected to be the very first spot in all the United States where the totality of this eclipse is supposed to be seen. But that is only if the weather cooperates. And right now it's not looking too good. We got forecasted overcast skies all day long here in Eagle Pass today. And while everybody is going to be looking up. If you're looking down here at the border here is some of what you're going to see.
