Migrant Influx Overwhelms Texas Border Cities

The Migrant Resource Center in San Antonio is experiencing an influx of migrants arriving from the U.S.-Mexico border, with an average of 750 migrants per day, exceeding its capacity of 700. Migrants from countries such as Venezuela, Honduras, Haiti, Guatemala, and Colombia are seeking humanitarian aid, including food, clothing, and case management. Some migrants are forced to sleep behind dumpsters and in ditches due to limited space. The local authorities have not yet responded to inquiries about how they plan to handle the situation.

The MRC will continue to operate at capacity, and Catholic Charities is working to secure a limited number of hotel rooms.
