El Paso migrant shelter prepares for dramatic influx of new arrivals
Fox News
Waves of new migrants, including families and unaccompanied children, continue to arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border daily. In El Paso, local shelters are dealing with not only asylum seekers under former President Trump’s Migrant Protection Protocols program (MPP) but now migrants from other Texas sectors too.
Annunciation House Director Ruben Garcia has helped shelter migrants in El Paso for the last 43 years. Lately, they’re getting about 200 new arrivals daily. That includes 90 MPP asylum seekers, 10-40 immigration releases, and dozens of others who are now being flown in from overwhelmed communities in from the Rio Grande Valley. El Paso, Brownsville and San Diego are the only locations processing MPP asylum-seekers. "This may be the next 10 years, I think we're going to see 1,000s of refugees from these countries arrive at our borders, I think we're going to see that and I think we're going to have to deal with that and I hope that that we, as a country of migrants, … are going to deal with these people that arrive at our border in a humane way," said Garcia.More Related News
