El Paso’s Border Crisis
The annual college football game, held in El Paso since 1935, took place on Dec. 30 amid a border crisis that led the city’s Mayor Oscar Leeser, a Democrat, to declare a state of emergency last month.The Sun Bowl “Fan Fiesta,” scheduled for Dec. 29, was canceled because the city’s convention center is a temporary shelter for illegal immigrants.
According to El Paso officials, thousands of illegal aliens are waiting at the southern border to cross into the United States once the Title 42 immigration policy, which was initially scheduled to expire on Dec. 21, comes to an end.
Publicly available data shows that 84,082 illegal immigrants were released into El Paso between Aug. 22 and Dec. 11, 2022. El Paso’s population is 678,000.
The aliens were allowed to stay in the United States while their court hearings were pending.
Title 42 was invoked by former President Donald Trump in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The policy, which was implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, allows border agents to expel illegal aliens immediately without asylum processing if they are deemed to pose a health threat.
The Supreme Court recently temporarily halted its expiration, voting 5–4 to allow it to remain in place, and the policy now remains in limbo pending legal challenges.
“That’s my intention, we’re working out the details now,” Biden said when asked if he will be going to the border in connection to a meeting next week in Mexico City with other world leaders.
