With less than three weeks before the end of Title 42, which will likely mean an ‘avalanche’ of immigrants entering the country, the city manager in El Paso, Texas has recommended the m…
Migrant crisis flashpoint city El Paso has run out of money and is so overwhelmed it released 1,000 people to fend for themselves on the city’s streets in November — but the mayor is refusing to give in to pressure and declare a state of emergency.
In El Paso, over 5,000 people are currently being processed and let into the country each week, after which they are put into temporary shelters. Once those are full, the city has no option but to release migrants into the city with nowhere to stay, as city officials confirmed they did with over 1,000 people in November.
“A declaration of a state of emergency would place us in a better position so that we don’t have to absorb as much of the costs as the influx continues,” El Paso City Manager Tommy Gonzalez — a non-partisan, non-elected city leader — wrote in a recommendation to Mayor Oscar Leeser. In September, immigrants overwhelmed city resources and ended up sleeping on the streets of downtown El Paso — something local leaders have called the worst case scenario in the past.“That amount looks like it might increase, so we’re looking at options to possibly expand that operation,” El Paso County Commissioner David Stout told The Post on Thursday.
Mayor Oscar Leeser has resisted previous calls to declare a state of emergency over the border crisis.Four democratic senators — Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and Jon Tester of Montana — have even warned of their concerns as to what will happen after Dec. 21.
