The head of a homeless shelter in the Texas border city of El Paso said that illegal immigrants who are being bused to New York are voluntarily going there, disputing Democrats’ claims of human trafficking.

Blake Barrow, the CEO of the El Paso Rescue Mission in Texas, published a letter on Sept. 21 asking the Biden administration for assistance in dealing with the illegal immigration crisis. The surge has overwhelmed homeless shelters in El Paso, a border city that sits across the Rio Grande from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
