TL;DR Summary

Los Angeles has managed to avoid the migrant crisis that has hit other major cities like New York, thanks in part to a decrease in the number of immigrants it attracts. While Texas has been sending buses of migrants to Los Angeles, the city has not experienced the same strain on resources and shelters as other cities. The high cost of living in California and job opportunities in other parts of the country have led migrants to seek other destinations. Additionally, the presence of well-established communities and support networks for Central Americans and Mexicans in Los Angeles has helped new arrivals find housing and employment without relying on emergency city resources.
