EL PASO, Texas—In the waning hours of Title 42, the public health measure that enabled Border Patrol to expel illegal aliens from the border, The Daily Signal’s Mary Margaret Olohan and Tim Kennedy traveled to El Paso, Texas, and captured footage of comparative calm before the expected storm.
A Border Patrol agent told The Daily Signal that the El Paso sector has two processing centers, each set up with a capacity to house about 1,000 people, and officials intend to set up a third center by the end of June.
The agent said the average number of migrants crossing the border dropped from about 1,400 a day in April to just under 1,150 a day in May, but Border Patrol expects the number to increase after Title 42 ends.
The end of Title 42 will also bring more paperwork. Under the public health measure, implemented from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic, Border Patrol could immediately expel illegal immigrants, but without Title 42, each migrant will receive an alien registration number, creating a new case with its own paperwork.
The agent said that various parts of the Department of Homeland Security have collaborated with Border Patrol in a whole-of-government approach to prepare for the expected onslaught of migrants.
Throughout the day, The Daily Signal witnessed immigrants crossing the border in large numbers.
Drone footage captured law enforcement rounding up migrants after they crossed the border illegally.
Illegal immigrants crossed the border at gates, after which Border Patrol took them into custody.
Agents erected barbed wire along the border in river areas, to deter illegal crossings.
Their preparations appeared to be a calm before the storm, as authorities expect a large influx of migrants after Title 42 expires.
Authorities cleared an area where migrants had been congregating, urging the migrants to turn themselves in before Title 42 expires.
But....I thought Greg Abbott had blocked off our part of the border?
It’s a LOOOOOOOONG border.................
And then there’s that wall. Ugly, expensive, and beautifully effective.
Yes its going to be pretty bad and many will come to our area in Atlanta. But I have a feeling they won’t be staying very long.
I know a Biden voter who cannot make the connection between her vote and this disaster.
Even if she’s shown the video in the debates where Biden says “immediate surge to the border”. She doesn’t get it.
Next time I see her I’ll suggest she can take several migrant families in to live at her house.
Illegal aliens = Cartel members
our government are criminals
The canary died!!
They need to be locked up and the January 6th protesters set free!
True, and not all of it is crossable.
Jean Raspail’s novel “Camp of the Saints” Was prophetic.
Time to start placing Marine snipers at 1 mile intervals along the boarder with ROE to shoot to wound. Then, tattoo a big “I” on the forehead of those caught. If the sniper sees an illegal attempting to cross with an “I” on his forehead, the ROE change to shoot to kill. About a half dozen of those and you won’t need a border wall.
The sad truth is that there are people desperate enough to take the risk. And we are not at war with the migrants. We need to protect our borders but surely there is a humane solution.
A wall, for starters.
Are the Texas National Guard allowed to be armed?
