Supreme Court keeps immigration limits in place indefinitely

The constant of el paso texas is the flowing Rio grande. The river between the U. S. And Mexico. The other constant migrants who seek to cross it from the other side. Giovanni Garcia and his son Anderson hopefully waited with other Venezuelan refugees seeking asylum in the US. So we're Samuel said Daniel and his friend Alfredo. Their immediate path to prosperity, carefully treading on stones from the Mexican side of the Rio grande crossing into the U. S. Side and ultimately into the arms of the border Patrol. Officials in El paso say there are thousands of refugees lined up on the other side. However, we didn't find evidence of that in our tour through the city of juarez. What we did find were people in limbo. God and Mendoza and her young daughter fled gang violence in Honduras. They originally crossed into the US months ago near the texas Gulf coast. Now stuck at *** shelter in juarez waiting. They were expelled with hundreds of thousands of other migrants under the public health order title 42. The law has been *** de facto immigration enforcement tool since the pandemic federal immigration agents can expel migrants without allowing them to claim asylum for US protection against Covid. The non expendable nationalities are coming through and they're they're coming through in very significant numbers. And so the need is for for hospitality for them Ruben Garcia runs annunciation house *** shelter and refugee services organization, he says those who do make it across face uncertainty at this moment, the numbers of refugees that are being processed by border patrol and then release is greater than the hospitality that is available. El paso officials say they will provide more shelters if needed and have asked the federal government for assistance. They're also worried about sheltering thousands when colder weather freezes the area. We can continue to go at this rate and continue to have thousands and thousands of people and hundreds of thousands millions of dollars at the end of the day, this is strictly *** band aid for something that's bigger than the U. S. Immigrant rights advocates say the invocation of Tunnel 42 does not address the need for broad immigration law reform. Nor does it consider why the refugees are crossing. We've been calling it um for immigration reform and updated asylum policies. What we're seeing right now in our city where we're seeing what the country is seeing honestly is just the failure of the federal government to step up and to deliver the resources that we need. Instead, activists say the status quo so far is enforced. The current laws for parties to campaign on humanitarianism or militarization of the border. The status quo for the migrants is to leave their home countries that are often broken for the one they think works. And if you weren't able to see the subtitles on that last interview, her name is Yasmin. She's from Honduras. She says she just wants *** normal life *** life. The United States where she can provide for her family, where her son can get an operation that he needs and that she can send money back to her mother in Honduras. The other wrinkle of this policy battle is the policy battle between the state of texas and the federal government. Our governor here in texas, Greg Abbott has his own vaunted border security operation dubbed Operation Lone Star, cost taxpayers $4 billion. And just today we saw the deployment of National Guard soldiers along one of the busier ports of entry where migrants were turning themselves in and those guards soldiers had erected concertina wire to block them from entering the country.
