The article is from December of last year and the busloads just keep coming, packed full of them. I have yet to hear from a USMB Liberal who will stand up and welcome the illegals to their home town. You are all a bunch of NIMBYs who pontificate about compassion. You talk the talk, but you don't walk the walk.

An interfaith network of churches is looking for additional facilities to open their doors to recent immigrant families that are sent from ICE.

About 80 migrants were dropped off at a Phoenix Greyhound bus station Thursday by federal officials — a departure from the pattern of delivering those migrants to local churches — as the government continues to turn thousands of migrants into the community.
This week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement brought several hundred migrants to area churches, and by Thursday, those churches said they reached capacity.
Since mid-October, about 6,000 migrants have been dropped off at a dozen churches in Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert and Ahwatukee Foothills that are housing and feeding migrant families before they travel to their next destination.
Most migrants are gone by the next day, jumping on a Greyhound bus or a flight to reunite with family members across the country. But the churches that have been hosting people remain overloaded.
"We need new facilities, additional facilities to open their doors, whether they be churches or community centers," Susan Whetten-Udall said.
