Tesla CEO Elon Musk wants to see for himself what is going on at the border amid the growing migrant crisis. He is planning a trip to Eagle Pass, Texas, where tensions are accelerating.
"They are being overwhelmed by unprecedented numbers – just hit an all-time high and still growing!" Musk said on his account.
Eagle Pass has seen over 7,000 undocumented migrants crossed the Rio Grande since Sunday Sept. 17, with intelligence reports showing additional migrant caravans in Mexico and Central America on the way, the Eagle Pass Business Journal reported on Friday.The report said the flow of migrants has stressed community resources including Eagle Pass' only medical hospital, causing delays for local patients needing emergency medical services.
People who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border are held at a Border Patrol processing center located below the Eagle Pass International Bridge in Eagle Pass, Texas, Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023. Both the city's fire and police departments are also under pressure through increasing calls, while the Maverick County Sheriff’s Department has reported one homicide case of a U. S. citizen. An undocumented migrant from Peru has been arrested as a suspect, according to the report.
