El Paso, Texas ‘at a breaking point’ as migrant numbers skyrocket: mayor
Breitbart ^ | 09/24/2023 | Reuters

Posted on 09/24/2023 10:42:31 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The dramatic increase in migrants crossing the U.S. border from Mexico has pushed the city of El Paso, Texas, to “a breaking point,” with more than 2,000 people per day seeking asylum, exceeding shelter capacity and straining resources, its mayor said on Saturday.

“The city of El Paso only has so many resources and we have come to … a breaking point right now,” Mayor Oscar Leeser said at a news conference.

I have family in El Paso. They carry when they step outside their door. Illegals Everywhere.. With large backpacks.
Would Biden have this around his house.
Did they send a busload to Martha’s Vineyard.

This is an attack on the people.. And it’s not going well.. At all.

Trump had finally secured the border by early 2020. Yet almost all of the successful
initiatives were immediately overturned in 2021 after Biden’s brazen election steal.

Biden got busy
<><>Trump’s wall was abruptly stopped,
<><>its projected trajectory cancelled
<><>disastrous Obama-era “catch-and release” policies reinstated
<><> immigration policies of non-enforcement were resurrected.
<><>Trump’s Successful pressure on Mexico to stop the export of its citizens northward ceased.
<><>Federal border patrol officers were forced to stand down.
<><>New federal subsidies were granted to entice and then support illegal arrivals.

No one in the Democratic Party objected to the destruction of the border or the subversion of immigration law then.

However, things changed once border states began to bus or fly thousands of illegals northward to sanctuary cities—like New York, Chicago, and even Martha’s Vineyard.

The feel-good sanctuary-city “humanists” who had green-lighted rampant illegal immigration into the southern states suddenly shrieked, visibly irate after experiencing the concrete consequences of their own border agendas.

After all, these absurdities were supposed to fall upon distant Trump types they ridiculed.

Most of the businesses in south border states pay the cartel to survive. Biden and son has an account for cartel to pay to keep border open.

Folks.. Get this one fact

BIDEN FAMILY IS A CRIME FAMILY
They care nothing for you people
They care nothing for this United States of America
They have sold us and country to a highest bidder

They are on street corners now panhandling.

It doesn't take the economic refugees long to learn how to scam the welfare system or take advantage of the kindness and generosity of the American people by playing at their heartstrings.

They are taking back Texas, one illegal immigrant at a time. Now it is over a million.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Stop voting democrat, El Paso. Elect MAGA candidates.

And they are illegal aliens, news media, not “migrants.”

Here's a thought, draw the border back on the outside of El Paso. Mexicans go free-for-all, and the calumny is worse than 9/11. Now you get Trump landslide and a free pass to deport these migras into the middle of the Gulf.

Statistics published by The Post show that 1.23 million migrants have crossed the border seeking asylum in the past 11 months...Of those, 95,000 said they were heading to New York City.

Makes you wonder where the other 1,135,000 went. Libs like the ones in Martha's Vineyard give them a bus ticket out of town and then lecture the rest of us about our moral responsibilities.

About two-thirds of those crossing into El Paso currently are single men. About 32% are families and just 2% are unaccompanied children.

Funny how the "kiddies in cages" trope disappeared from the media. Well, not funny...

Yeah what happened with DeSantis? He sent that plane filled with illegals to Marthas vineyard and he said he was going to send more but he never did.

El Paso has a democrat mayor and city council, right? Time for democrat voters to suffer for their useful idiot choices.

“ because that leads to fewer worker shortages and resultant lower wages.”

The oligarchs on the right and the left want to have low paid rabble.

Actually that was another way DeSantis decided to stick it to the media. There really was a plane - with no one on it but lots of reporters outside ... You’d have to live in Florida to know why that was funny.

Blue hellhole cities are the most satisfying... especially those that held themselves out as ‘sanctuary cities’. Those folks deserve the misery.
