EL PASO, Texas (CBS4) — Refugees are staying in El Paso for days and sometimes over a week.
Annunciation House says that’s because it can’t get the refugees to the airport or to bus stations.
Ruben Garcia, the executive director of Annunciation House, said a refugee could have family elsewhere in the U.S. and even have money to buy a plane ticket, but the problem is there is often no way to get that refugee to the airport.
“When we’re able to make the travel arrangements, by bus or by plane, for the families, and they need to move on, it’s very challenging for us to then transport the families from the different sites to the bus stations and to the airport,†Garcia said.
