El Paso, Texas ‘at a breaking point' amid jump in migration, mayor says
By Sharon Bernstein (Reuters) -The dramatic increase in migrants crossing the U.S. border from Mexico has pushed the city of El Paso, Texas, to 'a breaking point,' with more than 2,000 people per day seeking asylum, exceeding shelter capacity and straining resources, its mayor said on Saturday. 'The city of El Paso only has so many resources and we have come to … a breaking point right now,' Mayor Oscar Leeser said at a news conference. The arrival of largely Venezuelan asylum seekers is part of a larger swell of immigrants who traveled dangerous routes on buses and cargo trains to Mexican border towns near San Diego, California, and the Texas cities of El Paso and Eagle Pass.
