The surge of migrants at the border is beginning to strain U.S. cities far from Mexico.
CORRECTS DAY - In this Wednesday, May 22, 2019, migrants mainly from Central America guide their children through the entrance of a World War II-era bomber hanger in Deming, N.M. A surge of asylum-seeking families has been straining cities along the southern U.S. border for months, but now the issue is flowing into cities far from Mexico, where immigrants are being housed in an airplane hangar and rodeo fairgrounds and local authorities are struggling to keep up with the influx.
And in border states, cities that are several hours’ drive from Mexico are already seeing sometimes hundreds of migrants a day. But elsewhere, cities and states are quietly making arrangements. New Mexico and Colorado reached agreement to drop off some migrants in Denver. A remote desert town in California has helped hundreds reach shelters for short-term stays.
“I was scared they were going to come here and live in tents,” says Mark Bogen, mayor of Broward Counties, among the first to publicly oppose the plan. “It’s not that we are not welcoming. We are welcoming, we are inclusive, but we don’t have resources for these people at this point.” New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham paid to bus migrants to Denver to help alleviate the strain on New Mexico and announced the state will offer grants to reimburse local government agencies that help migrants.
The Border Patrol has also been releasing daily about 65 migrants in the highly remote desert town of Blythe in California. Riverside County spokeswoman Brooke Federico says more than 1,800 asylum seekers have arrived to the town of 20,000 since late March.
