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.

ok, please don’t.
Not a betting man, but I’m willing to bet my life savings that I live much closer to the border than anyone that posts here preaching the slow boat of patience.
Arrest all those illegal alien invader parasites and deport them!!! I really don’t care if they are one week old. GETR OUT!!!

thank you, were are in a national emergency whether people want to admit it or not. Illegals have no rights in this country!
your post is worth repeating 1000 times.
Sounds like a perfect incubator enviroment for rapid transmission of diseases to me. May have to rename it the Swine Flu Bowl or something. ....
No room at the inn? Perhaps they can find a stable.

Plenty of room in T-town...
I’m thinking fake news on this one. If Annunciation House really had rented the rooms (for illegals), the hotels and motels would have told the Pitt and Stanford fans that no rooms were available.
Since the Pitt and Stanford fans were able to rent rooms, the story must be a fake.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Which is it? Can’t have it both ways.
Yea, they’re here and finally free
of their oppressive regime.../*sarc
Move them to San Fran so they won’t get
arrested for shi*ting in the streets,
hand them a tent for someplace to sleep.
