El Paso mayor declares 'state of emergency' as border city prepares for crossings to skyrocket 'from 2,500 to 4,000, 5,000, maybe 6,000' a day when Trump-era policy expires this week
2022-12-19
  • El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser declared a state of emergency, saying the migrant crisis in the border town was beginning to threaten the safety of residents

  • Leeser said 2,500 migrants are arriving in El Paso daily those numbers are likely to more than double as Trump-era border legislation, Title 42, expires this week

  • Title 42 was enacted in March 2020 to ostensibly control COVID-19 transmission at the border, but has been used to ease border control ever since

  • Last week Denver also declared a state of emergency in preparation for the expiration of Title 42

#11  What is the most demoralizing is that we all know what needs to be done, but it won't get done because we all know what will happen to those who attempt to get something done. I dunno folks but I for one am moving towards this. Our Founders were moved by much less. What is our stone? There is an aswer here, and it's right before us.
