Border towns struggle to deal with Biden's screw-ups with migrants

 Washington Examiner:

The busiest spot of the southern border for illegal crossings is struggling with an all-time high of migrants and a spike in COVID-19 cases.

Last week, 7,000 migrants were released in downtown McAllen, Texas. More than 1,500 tested positive for COVID-19 over the past seven days, according to a city document issued Wednesday.

The city of 141,000 residents in the Rio Grande Valley is ground zero for the border crisis. Agents in the valley encounter more illegal immigrants than any of the Border Patrol's other eight regions. Many migrants come thousands of miles from Central America and elsewhere to cross the border just miles south of downtown McAllen, where they are picked up, processed, and dropped off downtown.

One intersection in McAllen, in particular, is the center of the nation’s immigration crisis: South 15th Street and Austin Avenue. This week, bus after bus unloaded migrants.

On the north side of Austin Avenue, migrants are tested for the coronavirus through a city-contracted organization. On the south side of the street, Catholic Charities welcomes families after testing to help make arrangements to travel throughout the United States. On another side of the street is the regional bus station, where every few minutes, charity workers walk a family to board a bus. Out front, cabs pull in and out of parking spots, shuttling people to the local airport.

The routine has become hard to manage as the number of migrants has risen. Approximately 210,000 people attempted to illegally cross the southern border in July, the highest in 21 years. Despite the rise in illegal border crossing since President Joe Biden took office in January, the White House refuses to call the situation a "crisis," leaving communities, such as McAllen, and federal agents to handle it on their own.

"We need help immediately from — from the federal people and, honestly, even from the state people," said Hidalgo County Judge Richard Cortez in an interview on a city-run TV station Tuesday. "These immigrants need to be served, safely, efficiently, and effectively. And we're run out of space and resources to do so,

Inland Biden supporters appear to have no idea what damage their vote had done to these communities on the border, and they do not seem to care.  Biden certainly has shown no care whatsoever to the people who live on the border who bear the brunt of his bad policies.
