El Paso grapples with aftermath of Title 42 expiration and migrant influx.

El Paso residents feel abandoned by the Biden administration as it prioritizes the well-being of migrants over the safety of long-time residents. The city has become a ground zero for the administration's failed border policies, with more than 265,000 migrant apprehensions in the first six months of fiscal year 2023. The infrastructure that facilitates travel and trade between the US and Mexico is now driving the migrant surge across the river. Residents are left to deal with cartels running drugs through their property, killing their animals, and threatening their lives. The locals are on their own and long for the protection they had been provided in the past.
