Harlingen, Texas Mayor Chris Boswell provides insight into the border surge on ‘America Reports’
Harlingen, Texas Mayor Chris Boswell told "America Reports" Wednesday that the surge of migrants at the U.S-Mexico border is "overwhelming" local communities.
CHRIS BOSWELL: What we've been told is that ... the systems that are currently in place are going to be overwhelmed. The shelters that operate here day in and day out, year in, year out are full, and we also are seeing and being told by the Border Patrol that they're going to be releasing as many as 400 families into our communities, perhaps each day ... so we have been making preparations to help the local charities, the shelters that are assisting with this crisis, to provide a shelter or additional space in our community center.
