EL PASO, Texas (AP) — The mayor of a Texas border city declared a state of emergency Saturday over concerns about the community's ability to handle an anticipated influx of migrants across the Southern border.

El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser issued the state of emergency declaration to allow the city on the U.S. border with Mexico to tap into additional resources that are expected to become necessary after Title 42 expulsions end on Dec. 21, the El Paso Times reported.

Leeser had previously resisted issuing an emergency declaration, but said he was moved to action by the sight of people on downtown streets with temperatures dipping below freezing, the Times reported.

This El Paso, Texas Mayor" doesn't give a damn about the U.S. being invaded. He only cares about the "welfare" of the invading Army's troops. Poor freezing babies. Our own version of Vichy, France all over again.

Oscar needs to take this up with his basement-dwelling, mail order pee-resident. Handle it Oscar. Those thieving, border-jumping, freeloading RAT voters are all yours now. DEAL WITH IT CHUMP!

BTW: You can always load a bunch of them on a plane and fly them up to the Vinyard. Those Marthas are always looking for stuff that will “enrich” their lives no matter how bad it smells.

I have family living in El Paso. They are worried and angry that nothing was done before this last surge. The city is dem controlled.. And cartel heavy.

He needs to declare an emergency, like Kari Lake had promised to do.

Maybe the mayor should also declare a disaster over Governor Abbot’s refusal to protect his state from invasion.

Abbott only feigns interest in the border when he’s up for re-election.

The rest of the time....meh.

“Abbott only feigns interest in the border when he’s up for re-election.

That’s his campaign bumper sticker, or May as well be. It’s on everyone’s mind collectively. Everyone knows it

It’s him or the perennial campaign funds collector, “never let me into office I’m a gofer son in law”. Robert O’Rourke.

They broke the law and into our country with expectations that others would take care of them. That's breaking laws and expecting citizens to be robbed to cover their crime. Let them freeze.

Yeah, that’s quite obvious. No doubt he is indebted & beholden to the remaining Koch brother.
