‘Any mother should be angry’: El Paso resident on crossings
- An El Paso resident reflects on what it's like living next to the border
- Dolores Chavira Chacon says "any mother should be angry"
- She also says she hates that the border is "not secured"
(NewsNation) — Dolores Chavira Chacon, an El Paso resident, reflects on what it’s like living next to the border.
She told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo that “any mother who is here should be angry (over) how these children are suffering.”
Chacon also said she hates that the border isn’t secured, and that she believes the crisis is a result of “intentional” decisions by both political parties.
Since the expiration of Title 42, the U.S. is relying heavily on Title 8 to address migrant crossings.
Over the weekend, Border Patrol agents recorded 14,752 apprehensions — a 45% drop from the same time period a week earlier — according to U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz.
