The end of Title 42 is set to bring untold scores of illegal immigrants into the United States. One Texas city is already taking drastic measures to prepare.

From KTXS12. El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser said Monday that he will declare a state of emergency due to migrants coming to the Texas city before Title 42 ends on May 11.

“We will do it prior to May 11, to declare a state of emergency, for the main reason being we want to make sure we have schools prepared and ready to go, the civic center ready to go and it’s going to be very important that we are prepared strictly for temporary housing,” said Leeser.
