El Paso, Texas, Mayor Oscar Leeser said at a news conference Saturday that his city has reached a 'breaking point' due to a recent surge in asylum seekers at the border.
"So, this is something that we've been prepared for, but these numbers have really escalated a lot quicker than we ever anticipated," he added.Venezuelan asylum seekers
Leeser said the city plans to open a new shelter, though on Saturday El Paso chartered five buses to move migrants to cities such as New York, Chicago and Denver. The mayor said the migrants were being moved to the city of their choice, with many lacking transportation to get to their preferred destinations while El Paso's shelter capacity currently can only host 400 people and also has to serve the city's homeless population.
Asylum seekers head to the U.S. on a train after thousands of migrants crossed in recent days, in El Carmen, Mexico, Sept. 21, 2023.
