The Democrat mayor of El Paso, Texas, Oscar Leeser, said on Saturday that his city had come to “a breaking point” with the overwhelming influx of illegal aliens, many of them Venezuelans. The daily influx has increased from maybe 350 to 400 people as recently as six weeks ago to 2,000 or more currently. The city’s single shelter, whose capacity is only about 400, is filled well beyond capacity, and though another shelter is set to come online, El Paso’s officials are chartering buses to take those willing to New York, Chicago, and Denver.
Although Texas’s governor Greg Abbott and other leaders of border states have come under intense criticism for busing illegals to those and other cities, Democrat-run El Paso is able to do so with impunity, though the five buses chartered on Saturday will alleviate the over-crowding problem only slightly. Curiously, Leeser — while complaining vaguely of a “bro-ken system” — was quick to affirm that the Biden administration had been a “good partner.”
It makes you wonder how much worse El Paso’s situation would be if Biden were a “poor partner.”
