City and county leaders in El Paso are planning to bus people to Dallas, Houston and other cities with major airport hubs, allowing migrants to be transported to points across the U.S.
El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser told a news conference that the city is distributing outdoor toilets and water stations as it offers overnight hotel rooms to migrants. He said their numbers are exceeding capacity at a county reception facility and the region's network of shelters with nonprofit and faith-based groups.
The City of El Paso announced Wednesday it received a new $6 million commitment to underwrite its migrant response from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. "They're working long hours, day and night, they're doing processing rather than their primary function of securing the border," he said.
