Migrants may get stuck in border towns for weeks after Title 42 expires: Arizona mayor

With the pandemic-related restrictions known as Title 42 due to expire, the mayor of Nogales, Arizona, told Fox News that he is concerned a lack of funding may result in migrants getting stuck in his city and other border towns for days or weeks.

Mayor Jorge Maldonado said "there’s no need for people to rush the border," and that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection can only get so many people processed on a daily basis.

"We can only process so many, Border Patrol and Customs are doing their best job and processing people, but we can only process so many," the mayor said. "If we get flooded, the one thing that the city and the county are going to have problems with is funding to get those people out of here."
