Shocking video shows migrant mom and baby crying as they cross under razor wire into El Paso just to be sent back the same way: Costa Rica declares a state of emergency amid huge influx of migrants at the US southern borderBy ALEX HAMMER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Shocking footage shows a mother and her young child crying out in horror as they crawl under a razor fence at the US southern border - only to be turned back the same way by Border Patrol agents.
The video, taken in Juarez on the Mexico side of the border sees the group of Venezuelans placing cardboard on their backs to avoid being cut while crawling under the barb-wire obstacle placed to stop travelers from entering El Paso.
After multiple close calls during which the toddler can be heard crying, the family made it to the other side - only to be reportedly sent back by members of the Texas National Guard stationed at the site.
Footage shows the migrants then going back through the perilous route from which they came - only to then head to another area of the nearly 2,000 mile long boundary to attempt another entry elsewhere.
