Nonprofits in North Texas and around the state are preparing to help receive more people from the border as El Paso anticipates an overwhelming surge of migrants.
"Some of the basic needs that people have as they are passing through because many of them have been on this journey for a long time and to have some of those basic needs that are just really important at that moment, we start there and also make sure we also assist with getting transportation lined up for getting to their sponsor," explained Baughman.
She said typically they receive migrants from nongovernmental organizations, also known as NGOs, Anson Detention Center and from the border."We’ve been in conversation with El Paso County, so on top of receiving these two buses there’s a great possibility that the county wants to start sending us buses of probably as many people that we can receive," said Muscatwalla.
“They come with a lot of anxiety, they come with a lot of fear, they come with a lot of uncertainty, and so while we might be providing hospitality we also provide this kind of support system, moral support system, compassionate support system," said Muscatwalla.
