As leaders in New York and Chicago say they are overwhelemed with migrants arriving in their cities, stretching their shelters and services to the limit, El Paso, Texas, is warning it will soon have to start busing people out.
The announcement was made as El Paso declared a state of emergency Sunday as it prepares for a huge influx over the border following the end of Title 42 on May 11.
The city — the busiest crossing point on the southern border — previously sent 10,713 migrants to the Big Apple and 3,259 to Chicago last fall, according to city data.
“The possibility of doing those transports again that we saw in September, October is very much a reality,” Deputy City Manager Mario D’Agostino said Sunday.
Officials expect anywhere from 12,000 to 40,000 migrants who have been waiting on the Mexican side to cross into the city after the expiration of Title 42, the pandemic-era policy that has allowed the US to return asylum seekers from certain countries to Mexico without hearing their asylum claims.
One bus load? Aren't there are rail lines that run north? Gotta pump those numbers up!!!

El Paso may start busing migrants again, but NYC and Chicago say they can’t handle them
The Texas city at the epicenter of the border crisis warned it could resume its busing program which has already sent some 14,000 asylum-seekers to New York City and Chicago.
