El Paso Inundated Under Migrant Surge

El Paso, Texas – a city of roughly 700,000 situated along the Rio Grande – is ground zero in America’s border crisis.

Everyone from Border Patrol agents to customs officials to shelter volunteers have scrambled to cope with the massive influx of illegal migrants. (Texas Tribune)

    Most of the migrants are Central American families and unaccompanied minors, and their numbers have grown by 340 percent — about 136,150 family units were apprehended on the southwest border between October and February, compared to 31,100 families during the same period the year before, according to CBP statistics.

Unless the border situation is brought under control within a relatively short time, I'll reckon that Texas -- as a "red state" -- has about ten years left.

After that, it's gonna "tip over"... if you get my meanin'...
