In overwhelmed El Paso, health officials are worried migrants camps on the streets of downtown could become a breeding ground for “infectious disease.”
El Paso, Texas — Thousands of migrants streaming over the border have overwhelmed the city, which has admitted to having to cast out hundreds onto its streets in recent months when its shelters have become too full.
The small camp may have been started by legally admitted asylum seekers who had been processed by the US government, but they soon attracted others who had sneaked over the border illegally and were also seeking food and shelter. By eating and sleeping in one area, trash quickly piled up around them.
El Paso health officials are worried migrants camps on the streets of downtown could lead to “infectious disease.”During one such clearing witnessed by The Post on Wednesday, clean-up crews backed by cops moved people out of their makeshift camps and forced migrants to throw away the little food and clothes they have, most of which had been donated by good Samaritans and the shelters in El Paso.
