Feces & Urine Problem In Downtown El Paso
http://www.ktsm.com/news/feces-urine-problem-in-downtown-el-paso ^

EL PASO - It's disgusting, unsanitary and it's going to leave you shaking your head. Migrant workers have turned a Downtown El Paso alley into a gigantic toilet.

Human urine stains the walls and feces is piled up in an alley that's just blocks away from the Convention Center and other tourist hotspots.

"If they don't let you go inside, you have to go anywhere. That's why El Paso is like that," Roberto Miranda said.

Miranda is a migrant worker. He sleeps outside of the Farm Workers Center, like at-least one-hundred other people, and he waits for work in the early morning hours. The disgusting alley is around the corner from the center. Miranda admits the migrant workers us it as their personal toilet.

"No, nobody thinks this is sanitary," Miranda said.

He told us the migrant workers have no choice but to use the restroom outside.

"We don't want to do that, but all the time when we want to go inside they say 'no,'" he said.

We questioned the Director of the Farm Workers Center. He told us the people that urinate and defecate in the alleys are not migrant workers.

"Most of the people in the street are homeless people," Carlos Marentes said.

Marentes told us the alley isn't his problem.

"That's a problem by the city. That's a social problem the city needs to address," he said.

We also spoke to neighbors.

"Hepatitis A, B and C can be in any of those mounds of feces, and they're all over the place," Randy French said.

Despite being concerned for his family's health, French doesn't think the problem is the migrant workers.

"Parts of me blame them, especially the ones who get really drunk. The biggest part no, because they have no facilities," he said.

French says he's reported the problem to the city, but he says the city has ignored his pleas for help.

"I think somebody through the city should be responsible for cleaning up all the mess, and the quick fix is porta potties," he said.

Today Mayor John Cook told us he's been well aware of the problem, but he said he doesn't know how to fix it. He said he's already sent Code Enforcement out, but he says they need to catch the people in the act. He says that hasn't happened.

Tonight we're still waiting for the City of El Paso to tell us who is responsible for the cleanup.

Once upon a time such people were arrested for vagrancy, whipped and jailed.

Now the cities build a work center so the employers hiring the illegal workers have a convenient place to pick them up for work.

In Mexico the toilets cannot handle dirty toilet paper. There usually is a trash receptacle next to the commode for it. When Mexican people cross the border and “go” in a public restroom they throw their dirty toilet paper on the floor. If you live near the border you know what I am talking about. Get used to it. Most illegal aliens are not toilet trained.

“Down in the West Texas town of El Pas-o
I fell in love with a port-a pot-tee....”

What a rarity...an honest Democrat who admits his incompetence.

Well, it seems to me that the solution is fairly obvious. Either send police to control the situation OR provide them with a porta-potty.

Apparently the mayor is willing to put up with homeless illegal vagrants gathering to seek illegal jobs—but not willing to take care of the consequences.

One or the other.

I live in Northern Va., and it is the same here also.
Toilet paper on the floor, or behind the entrance door, which seems odd they would carry it to the front door, and not just throw it away.

These people pick your lettuce, but it cost less than it would.

Make McCain pick up their sh-t.

Our “leaders” keep telling us that El Paso is the safest city in the USA!!!!!

The lies coming out of this administration are going to make an author very rich some day-—it will fill up a large book for sure.

You always know its them because there are usually footprints on the seat. I have a friend who hires migrants to pick every year, he said you could give them a brand new spotlessly clean toilet and they would still squat down with their feet on the seat.

I’ll gladly pay for higher-priced veggies as long as I don’t have to pay for their education, housing, medical, incarceration, food stamps, anchor babies, lawsuits, and on and on. Besides, most of them don’t pick veggies. Here in LA we’re bursting at the seams with them, but no vegetable patches for miles around.
