Perhaps the current mayor, Oscar Leeser, should have talked to the city mayor, council, and attorney back in 2017, right after Leeser took a break from politics, having been the mayor from 2013 to 2017. Someone else was mayor when the city did this

City of El Paso joins legal battle against sanctuary cities law

The city of El Paso is joining the legal fight against the state’s controversial anti-sanctuary cities law.

The City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to join the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund’s lawsuit at no cost to the city.

The city now joins several other cities and groups across the state fighting the “show me your papers” law, which allows local law enforcement officials to ask people they detain or arrest about their immigration status.

Dem Texas mayor says city is at ‘breaking point’ as border crisis rages

A Texas mayor is sounding the alarm amid a dramatic spike in migrants crossing the U.S. border, saying his city has reached a “breaking point.”

“The city of El Paso only has so many resources and we have come to… a breaking point right now,” El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser, a Democrat, said at a news conference Saturday.

“So, this is something that we’ve been prepared for, but these numbers have really escalated a lot quicker than we ever anticipated,” he added.

The citizens of El Paso who voted you in are getting what they asked for, and they can’t be thinking that the issue would be Somewhere Else, because they are a border town

Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas told CNN a few days ago that he declared a state of emergency in his city of 30,000 people after 5,000 migrants crossed over the border into the city from Piedras Negras, Mexico. Salinas said Biden has “abandoned” border communities and complained that no one from the White House has reached out amid the crisis.

“I believe 100 percent [Biden] does, he bears some responsibility for this crisis. I haven’t heard from anybody in the administration. The president hasn’t put out a statement, the vice president, I haven’t heard from anybody,” Salinas said.

“We’re here abandoned. We’re on the border, we’re asking for help. This is unacceptable,” he stated.

You voted for him. You supported him. You knew he was going to be weak on border security. You might not have known it would be this bad, but, you got what you supported. Elections have consequences. Both cities are shipping illegals away en mass.
