Federal officials estimate that tens of thousands of people could cross the border once Title 42 ends, many of whom will pass through San Antonio.
Antonio Fernandez, Catholic Charities president and CEO, talks about how the center has adapted to shifting numbers of asylum seekers, and what he expects in May, when Title 42 ends while giving a tour at the center.Dozens of people milled in front of the Centro de Bienvenida early Monday afternoon, standing under the building’s awnings or sitting under small canopy tents to escape the sun. Temperatures were already in the mid-80s and were expected to climb a few degrees higher.
About 3,900 people came through the center’s doors in the first week of May. April alone saw more than 12,000 migrants. Although he prefers to purchase airline tickets for people traveling to far-away cities like Chicago, New York or Miami, he’s considering leasing charter buses to more quickly transport large groups out of San Antonio at once, so long as he can ensure that migrants would have access to food and water and be allowed to get off and stretch their legs at regularly scheduled spots.
