EAGLE PASS, Texas - A large migrant caravan has arrived at Piedras Negras, right across from Eagle Pass.

We are beginning to get more information on the people who arrived at Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico Monday.

We are told all of them arrived on about 55 buses, sent from Saltillo, Mexico.

They are reportedly a part of a caravan with 1,500-2,000 people. It's difficult to get an exact number, as we're told by the acting chief of border patrol.

The border has been reinforced, there were all kinds of exercises this weekend.

Bridges were closed, helicopters were up and a lot of boats were out on the rivers, so we didn't see any scenes like what happened out in California.

Border Patrol agents and CBP officers are training to make sure their skills are capable, our technology is ready for whatever eventuality we have to deal with along the border.

Now all of those people of course will be waiting in line.

A lot of them say that they will apply for asylum, meaning they will be on those bridges waiting their turn so they can fill out the proper paperwork to get into the U.S., if they're allowed.

Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico and Eagle Pass, Texas Prepare for Central American Migrant Caravan Arrival


By: Miguel Munoz, Eagle Pass Business Journal, Inc.

The City of Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico Mayor Claudio Bres Garza announced that a large Central American caravan of migrants of approximately 1,800 to 2,000 people, comprised of women, children, and men, is expected to arrive on the United States-Mexico border city on Monday, February 4, 2019, seeking political asylum into the United States.

Mayor Bres Garza stated that he attended a meeting in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico last week where the State of Coahuila Government advised him of this large caravan temporarily resting in Saltillo with plans to proceed to the U.S.-Mexico border in Piedras Negras and its American sister city, Eagle Pass, Texas.

Mayor Bres Garza noted that the City of Piedras Negras, Coahuila is hastily making preparations to be able to receive this unprecedented large caravan of Central Americans in his fair city, including the use of two unoccupied former maquiladora plants as temporary housing shelter, provision of food and water, and public health examinations to prevent any contagious diseases.

The Central American caravan is traveling towards Piedras Negras, Coahuila in approximately 40 buses from Saltillo, Coahuila. Mexican authorities estimate that this specific caravan includes approximately 800 women and children and 1,200 men. The expected arrival of this caravan has caught this border city by surprise, but Mayor Bres Garza and his Administration have been working non-stop since last week to make preparations to accommodate this expected caravan.

In addition to this expected Central American caravan, the City of Piedras Negras, Coahuila normally receives between 30 to 50 undocumented immigrants on a daily basis fleeing from violence, criminal organizations, severe poverty, lack of a democratic form of government, and a lack of opportunities seeking to enter the United States in pursuit of asylum and/or employment opportunities for a better future to themselves and their families. The daily flow of undocumented immigrants to Piedras Negras, Coahuila has currently filled to capacity the City of Piedras Negras, Coahuila relief efforts and resources prior to the expected arrival of this new large caravan of Central American migrants on Monday, February 4, 2019.

Meanwhile, the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Laredo, Texas Sector has implemented training exercises in all its U.S.-Mexico border Ports of Entry, including the Eagle Pass, Texas Port of Entry with Piedras Negras, Coahuila. Eagle Pass, Texas Port of Entry CBP Director Paul Del Rincon noted that his personnel held training exercises during this weekend (February 1-3, 2019) in the proper handling and processing of would be asylum migrants as well as crowd and riot control at the Eagle Pass-Piedras Negras, Coahuila Port of Entry. Port Director Del Rincon noted that the Eagle Pass CBP office is currently able to accommodate between 14 to 16 political asylum claimants on a daily basis due to his personnel level. At this daily rate of processing asylum claimants at the Eagle Pass Port of Entry and other U.S.-Mexico border Ports, it will be months or years before all of these migrants’ asylum claims will be processed and decided.

The Eagle Pass, Texas Port of Entry has two international bridges connecting the Piedras Negras, Coahuila and Eagle Pass U.S.-Mexico border owned by the City of Eagle Pass and the Mexican federal government, known as International Bridge No. I and II. Bridge I is only open from 7 A.M. to 11 P.M. while Bridge II is open 24/7/365. Eagle Pass, Texas CBP Port Director Paul Rincon stated that he is recommending to his Superiors that Bridge No. 1 be opened 24/7/365 from its limited 7 A.M. to 11 P.M. restricted hours, an administrative process that requires Washington D. C. and the Laredo CBP Sector approve which may take time.

President Donald J. Trump’s Administration has implemented a new policy of requiring political asylum applicants at the U.S.-Mexico border to wait in Mexico instead of being released on a bond within the United States pending their asylum claim. This new Trump Administration policy is being challenged as unconstitutional in the federal courts. Asylum claims may take up to one to five years to be processed after each migrant seeking relief is interviewed for a credible fear claim by a Customs and Border Protection Officer, pressuring Mexico and the migrants patience to their maximum. Under the new Trump Administration policy of migrants waiting in Mexico pending their asylum claims being processed, Mexico will bear a large social and economic burden while these Central American migrants wait at the U.S.-Mexico border communities.

This new policy’s social and economic impact upon Mexico will strain its social and economic resources never seen before and its citizens’ humanitarian and philanthropic support of these migrants.

Immigration and civil rights groups allege that President Trump’s Administration new policy of requiring migrants to wait in Mexico pending their asylum claims violates current United States asylum, immigration, and constitutional law.

The United States Department of Defense is sending an additional 3,700 United States military personnel to the U.S.-Mexico border to assist the U.S. Department of Homeland Security personnel handling of this humanitarian crisis.

The combined daily flow of undocumented immigrants and the arrival of the Central American caravan migrants will stretch the U.S.-Mexico border communities, including Piedras Negras, Coahuila and Eagle Pass, Texas, resources beyond their maximum capacities in handling this type of humanitarian crisis. Both Mexico and the United States response and management of this humanitarian crisis remains to be seen despite training for this type of situation unseen in the history of U.S.-Mexico border history.

As of the writing of this article on Monday, February 4, 2019, the Eagle Pass International Bridge 1 Port of Entry is temporarily closed this morning for additional CBP training exercises.

What happened to the new policy calling for immigration judges to make a decision within 90 days. Is that something that was only going on in San Diego?

Bus them all to a Stadium. Process them and bus them right BACK home including their UAC's.

Put the women and children on trains home.

Four countries cannot dump their entire population on our backs to pay for!!!

Cut off every dime of foreign aid.

Shut down ALL lanes of incoming traffic from Mexico.

THIS SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED!
