Reply to comment by HashtagDadWatts in Under-fire mayor of El Paso finally stops busing border-crossers to NYC by NYY657545

No, the federal government should still be providing grants, due to the fact that migrants are still temporarily housed in El Paso before they head further into the interior of the US. (It's their first stop)

If affects their local economy, and resources, thus they need the additional funding.

Not all migrants pass through El Paso, right? There are ports of entry all over the country.

The migrant crisis is in El Paso, due to the crime on the other side. All the major caravans end in El Paso.

You could argue ports of entry in California, and thus I'd agree California should also receive funding as well.

(My other post comment addresses the "other ports of entry issue.")
