2000 migrants per day is NOTHING for an adequately inclusive city. Right? Right…?
On Sunday, September 24th, Mayor Leeser of El Paso sounded the alarm: multiple border cities in Texas and California are grappling with an influx of Venezuelan asylum seekers, often resorting to perilous journeys via buses and cargo trains to reach the U.S. border. To address this challenge in El Paso, where daily influx is about 2000 migrants, Mr Leeser has announced plans for a new shelter. Aspirin cures cancer, doesn’t it?
Meanwhile, in response to the overwhelming demand and limited shelter capacity (only accommodating 400 people and also serving the homeless population), El Paso implements Governor Abbot’s policy and chartered five buses on Saturday, September 23rd, to relocate migrants to cities like New York, Chicago, and Denver, allowing them to choose their destination due to limited transportation options.
