Biden's welcome mat for immigrants: Federal authorities build sprawling tent city outside El Paso
Story by Lewis Pennock 12/27/2022 For Dailymail.Com • 1h ago
A huge ‘tent city’ for migrants entering the US from Mexico is under construction on the fringes of El Paso as officials scramble to prepare for a surge in crossings when Title 42 ends.
The massive processing facility, which covers an area the size of several football fields, is being built in a patch of desert about 20 miles northeast of downtown El Paso.
Trucks carrying equipment and machinery have been making regular deliveries to the site in recent days.
In a sign of the uncertainty around whether Title 42 will end, security guards told DailyMail.com the facility could be in place for 'a few weeks or six months, we don't know'.

Photos show how San Francisco is housing its homeless in socially distant tent camps
San Francisco has opened a temporary sanctioned tent encampment for members of its homeless population during the COVID-19 public health crisis.
The program provides a controlled environment for homeless residents to pitch their tents and have access to resources such as showers, electricity, and food.
SHELTER CAPACITY WAS LOWERED in March to allow for better physical distancing practices, but THE LOWERED BED COUNT HAS LED TO AN OVERFLOW of homeless people with nowhere to go but onto the streets.
Officials have long conducted so-called tent camp "sweeps" to remove people from the city's sidewalks.
But the CDC has advised against doing so unless an alternative is in place that could allow for proper distancing measures.
