Large groups of migrants – the vast majority Venezuelan men – were released into the streets of El Paso the last two days by border enforcement agents as shelters that typically receive them are at capacity.

And more street releases may be necessary as there has been a significant increase in migrant encounters the past few days – more than 1,000 a day on average – border law officials said.

“As we process migrants in our custody, we will do so with the goal of treating everyone in our custody in a respectful, safe and humane manner,” officials with the El Paso sector of the U.S. Border Patrol said in a statement to El Paso Matters. “Migrants will be provisionally released near community shelters, homeless shelters, and bus stations throughout the city of El Paso.”

On Wednesday, 133 Venezuelan migrants were released, Border Patrol officials confirmed without indicating where they were dropped off.

Three additional groups of more than 20 were released on Thursday afternoon, some at the Greyhound Bus Station in Downtown, the Venezuelans stranded there told El Paso Matters. Border Patrol officials have not confirmed the number of migrants released to the streets on Thursday.

The Border Patrol works with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to find space at nonprofit shelters when its El Paso Processing Center is at capacity.

The bleeding heart liberals, like the mayor in DC and Chicago, havr already told us…..they welcome illegals as long as they don’t come to THEIR towns.
 
I don't blame the illegals for coming here when all the signals they receive from us say "come on over".
They are fleeing 3rd world shitholes of crime & corruption thinking the US is better. Barely.
I put the blame where it belongs- the diaper dude & UNiparty that refuses to enforce our immigration laws.

If the "liberals" would walk the walk instead of just talking the talk, these unfortunate pawns would be welcomed into all the sanctuary cities & blue states.
They aren't welcomed there because the left is all a bunch of virtue signaling liars that don't really care about those less fortunate than themselves.
Take everything the Dems say, reverse it & you are close to the truth
 
This is why you don't ship bus loads or plane loads to other cities.

Simple human decency. Something republicans and conservatives do not have.

Would it not be simple human decency to close the borders and declare a pause on new asylum applications? Why do liberals oppose TRUMP's remain in Mexico policy, while wanting to impose a remain in Texas policy?

Oh but hey: it's fine to have the dirty illegals on the street in El Paso because they speak Spanish there. Just not on the beautiful island of MV, where the elite worshipful live, who give lip service to "sanctuary" but can't be bothered with the Dirty Poors.

Right, Corny?

El Paso is a Spanish sounding town. People from south of the border will feel right at home there.
 
America wants and needs the cheap labour of immigrants in order to be a viable country. But nobody wants them after the crops are all in.
Neither political party wants to see the situation upset and so has turned their backs on the issue for many years.

But Trump needed to play the racism card for his political purposes and so the issue is always in the news.

Trump brought America's chickens home, rather than understanding that he should have left them alone to wander back and forth across the border.
