A growing number of border communities are sounding the alarm on the border crisis, as migrants are being dumped onto their streets by Border Patrol, which has maxed out its ability to house recent arrivals.
Leaders in El Paso, Texas, warned they would not be able to keep mass groups of migrants from sleeping on the streets — what the city considers worst-case scenario — for much longer.
On Thursday alone, some 1,700 migrants entered the US through El Paso in a 24-hour period.
In previous weeks, the city had seen less than 1,000 migrants a day.
“We’re not going to have street releases,” said the city’s Mayor Oscar Leeser during a Friday morning news conference.
“Our No. 1 priority is the safety of our community and the safety of our asylum seekers. We don’t want them sleeping on the streets, but at some point, we will run out of capacity.”

Give ‘em all a bottle of water, a peanut butter sammich and a compass. Tell ‘em to walk where the arrow points.
Safety of “our asylum seekers” is that what they are? Really? We used to just call and treat them as illegal aliens and throw their sorry asses out and back to where they came from. Where do we go for asylum?
1,700 one day. NY is having meltdown because they are dealing with a few thousand total. If the election was tomorrow Traitor Joe would carry NY 80%.
It’s an invasion and they want all the free stuff , NOW
In Eagle pass:
The source says the surge has prompted the Border Patrol to conduct mass releases into the Texas border town. On Saturday, Breitbart Texas witnessed several groups of migrants leaving a charity shelter and attempting to walk from the border city to San Antonio, Texas — a trek of more than 150 miles. The migrants told Breitbart Texas they were forced out of the shelter due to capacity issues and because they lacked the funding to purchase bus tickets on their own.
As Breitbart Texas moved throughout the city, migrants could be observed leaving the only non-government shelter, Mission Border Hope. The migrants are leaving the city with no funds to purchase bus tickets or fly out. The city’s streets were awash with migrants walking aimlessly, asking residents for a ride or money to purchase meals.

The mayor reminded an agreement with Texas to post trespassing signs which enabled the DPS to make arrests. This is what happens.
Conservatives need to master Social Media and awaken the brain-dead voters that have no clue what is happening.
There’s no room , no money and no one wants them but they still keep coming , what are they being told in their home countries that make them keep coming

Pick just one safety priority, pal. You don’t have near enough resources for both.
By the time this is over, Texas is going to acquire 3 to 5 million illegal Sooner or later they will be given the right to vote. At that point, Texas, is blue, and there will never be a Republican victory in a national election again. QED.
That they will have free food, medical, housing, and free money monthly, and if lucky, they may be put up in luxury suites, and receive ss payments, until they die, not to mention their offspring get all the bennies of citizenship. Oh, and driver’s licenses, and in many cases, actual ability to vote in elections!
They must get a shock being bused around,LOL
I don’t know what’s worse, that millions of illegals are flooding the country or that the Republican elite is doing nothing about it.
But what can they do? The GOP House controls the purse strings. That’s a power they choose not to use. So, yeah. Get the budget passed and kick the immigration problem down the road again.
If El Paso is smart, they will round ‘em up and send them to the National Mall in Washington, DC. Let Congress, White House, and Suckpreme Court clothe, house, feed, educate, and medicate the illegal aliens. And when the Mall fills up, send them to the towns where the families of the Deep State live, so they can share the joy of overpopulation.
Michael Savage a few years ago: “America’s lifeboat is already full. More getting into it will cause everyone to sink with it.”
Defeating Putin is a bigger priority.

Back 100 years ago, there were plenty of factory jobs available for immigrants. And there was no welfare.
Now, there are no factories and plenty of welfare. A backwards situation like that is doomed to fail.
I think Texas is going to have to surveil when these buses of illegals are arriving, seize control of the vehicles, and drive them elsewhere.
Any minute now the left will begin the process of insisting that these illegals acquire the right to vote. It will be yet another incrementalist effort, slowly gathering steam, complete with multiple nonprofits springing up and staged demonstrations. You can count on it. Three to five years from now it will be a done deal.
There is talk of allowing illegals to vote in school board elections. The thinking is that they have kids in school, and so they should have a voice on how the schools are run.
Well, illegals pay sales tax. So why not let them vote for the people who set the tax? As you noted, that’s the ugly direction we’re headed. Step by step.
Round them up, put them on buses and ship them right back to Mexico.
