For months, migrants have arrived in Los Angeles on controversial buses chartered from Texas. With a lack of coordination from the Lone Star state, community groups stepped in to help bring things under control and helped hundreds across Southern California.
'People just started showing up,' Founder of the Haitian Bridge Alliance Guerline Jozef said. 'It was created chaos. Unnecessary created chaos, I would say.'In these heartbreaking scenes of chaos, Jozef has always seen hope. For months, she and a coalition of organizations have banded together to help the incoming migrants. This inspired an entirely new network of help which turned into the backbone of a nationwide effort.
We are seeing it around the country that what was meant to really degrade migrants and asylum seekers has been turned around into a way to fuel the country to become welcoming communities.'Jozef has set up a new center to keep up with the new migrants that she has welcomed into Southern California.Since May, Los Angeles has welcomed 1,300 people from Texas. Jozef said organizations like hers have helped the vast majority connect with sponsors or even found them places to stay.
