Migrant aid groups on the border have also been increasing their capacity to handle an influx. Blake Barrow, CEO of Rescue Mission of El Paso, which provides overnight shelter, opened up a second building to house migrant families last weekend. Together, the two facilities can now hold 250 people, and Barrow is prepared to convert the parking lot into an additional shelter if needed. “We were never set up to handle numbers like this,” he says.
The current situation has created a “bottleneck at the border,” says Dylan Corbett, the executive director of Hope Border Institute, a faith based research advocacy and action organization operating in El Paso, Texas. The group is working with six Catholic parishes to provide housing and food to migrants and is also planning to expand its number of sites in anticipation of increased arrivals. “We don’t know how long it’s going to last,” he says.
