Fox News
An emergency shelter set up in the border city of McAllen, Texas for COVID-positive migrants has expanded its capacity to keep up with a torrent of cases.
The city announced Wednesday that it was setting up temporary emergency shelters in response to a "rapidly escalating" surge of migrants flooding across the border — warning that the influx has become a "crisis." "Despite the City of McAllen and its community partners’ best efforts, the sheer number of immigrants being released into the city has become a crisis: a crisis the City of McAllen did not create and has proactively tried to avoid for seven years," the city said in a statement.More Related News
