Devastating Scenes Reveal the True Nature of the Migrant Crisis in El Paso; Illegal Migrants Mixing with Admitted Asylum Seekers, Causing Chaos in El Paso; More Texas Cities Declare State of Emergency Over Border Crisis as Thousands Stream into the US Daily
Devastating scenes reveal the true nature of the migrant crisis in El Paso:
Sobering photos show hundreds of migrants camped out in the streets of El Paso overnight Monday, as the Texas city’s emergency order went into effect in anticipation of the end of Title 42.
The asylum seekers are seen in the images on makeshift beds constructed out of cardboard and sheets, holding their belongings close, as border towns brace for an anticipated flood of migrants once Title 42 is lifted on May 11.
Throngs of migrants were packed tightly on El Paso streets and sidewalks into the early hours, with some taking rest while lying across blankets while others sat perched on the curb.
The asylum seekers photographed in the epicenter of the border crisis appeared to mainly be adults.
El Paso declared a state of emergency starting Monday ahead of the expiration of Title 42, the pandemic-era law that allowed the Border Patrol to send migrants from certain countries back to Mexico.
Officials expect to see up to 13,000 people crossing the border each day once the policy is lifted.
Even with a little over a week to spare until the policy ends, more than 73,000 migrants have crossed the southern border illegally in the last 10 days, according to border officials. —>READ MORE HERE
Illegal migrants mixing with admitted asylum seekers, causing chaos in El Paso:
Two thousand illegal immigrants have infiltrated El Paso in Texas and are causing a major headache for authorities, sources told The Post Tuesday.
El Paso is once again under siege as hundreds of hopeful migrants surrender at the border daily.
Most are ejected back to Mexico after a few days being processed in Customs and Border Protection custody, but a few hundred a day are being admitted to pursue asylum claims or given Temporary Protected Status and allowed to stay in the US.
Their ranks are being infiltrated by illegal immigrants who have sneaked over the border, often aided by cartels, and started to mingle among them.
Former El Paso Mayor Dee Margo told The Post: “My biggest concern now is about 2,000 migrants are running around El Paso undocumented — meaning they were never processed. They slipped in. And they can’t be sent or transported out of town.”
Migrants who have been given papers by authorities are quickly moved out of El Paso toward their final destinations in the US. —>READ MORE HERE
