A large crowd of migrants is gathering at the U.S. southern border with Mexico, waiting to be apprehended in Yuma. This comes just days before Title 42 is set to end.
Border agents apprehended over 300,000 immigrants over the past year in Yuma alone - that's more than the population of the country.
The massive group is doing what they can to stay warm as they wait for sometimes hours to be processed. The chairman of the Yuma County Board of Supervisors declared an emergency due to the ongoing situation, saying part of the reason for the emergency is due to local officials dealing with issues the federal government should be taking care of themselves.
"With the County facing a "triple threat" of COVID-19, Respiratory Syncytial Virus and the flu, and the increasing number of asylum seekers and migrants entering Yuma County from Mexico, local healthcare resources are being stressed," read"I don’t see the response I’d like to see from the federal government," said chairman Tony Reyes. "We keep insisting this is not a local issue. We keep taking care of the problem when they come around and take pictures.

This comes as nearly 3,000 undocumented migrants are crossing the El Paso, Texas border each day.
