The incoming congresswoman of the Texas border city of El Paso is warning of an imminent "crisis" as local officials and charities scramble to accommodate at least 1,600 migrants dropped off there by federal authorities in recent days.
Representative-elect Veronica Escobar, a Democrat, told CBS News, "We have these teams coming in to play in our Sun Bowl this weekend and the hotels are booked," referring to the college football game El Paso has hosted since 1935. "We're facing a real crisis coming up … to find places for all of these (migrant) families."
Escobar said migrants who can't be housed in shelters have been staying in hotel rooms paid by Annunciation House, the non-profit spearheading the efforts to house and feed them. But, she said, if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continues releasing large numbers of migrants, the El Paso community will struggle to find places for them because many hotels have been booked by people attending Monday's game.

File this under "Be careful of what you wish for, next time".
Americans (and the federal government) owe these invaders not one penny. Let the sanctuary El Paso ‘RATS pay for any support.
No problem. Let those coming for the Sun Bowl give up their rooms and live in the streets or in their cars. It’s college vacation time...can’t the “migrants” stay in dorms? And why don’t all of those who support the invasion have them stay in their houses?
I guess the DHS chick is still on vacay?
Send them back to wherever they came from.
You wanted to let them in pending resolution of their cases. You figure it out.
No rooms in Juarez?
Spending News Years in El Paso. Isn’t that cruel and unusual punishment?
I guess it’s a step up from Tijuana.
“We’re facing a real crisis coming up … to find places for all of these (migrant) families.”
I sure she meant to say ILLEGAL ALIENS.
[Veronica Escobar, a Democrat]
What’s the problem? Can’t they all stay at her house?
She’s a Democrat. Open those doors, Veronica.
And make copies of your credit and debit cards.
See? Easy-peasy!
“I guess the DHS chick is still on vacay?
If you are referring to Secretary Nielsen, I understand she’s been meeting with the President this past week! Trump met with her instead of going to Florida for Christmas among other things.
Roberts’ refugees!
I am thinking El Paso should be sure to notify the NCAA/Bowl committee that this will be the last year they can plan to host a bowl, because they have more important hosting to do.
"Ok, here you go."
"NO!! We aren't ready for them! We don't have a place for them to stay! How can we feed them? We a more important football game in town! Now what do we do? Help us!
went to the Sun Bowl probably 15 or so yrs ago....unbelievable poverty but unbelievably friendly nice people and everyone speaks Spanish, anglo and hispanic...
meetings never deported a hungry illegal.
She’s in El Paso checking out the deaths of the two illegal aliens kiddos, according to news reports today.
Imagine if Trump had won the election, it never would have gotten to this point.
Not really much point in any further communication with you. There is no instant gratification when it comes to changing government policies.
