Texas border officials grow nervous over uncertainty at the border

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Eliot Torres from the Texas Department of Public Safety told DailyMail.com that before the border was secured by National Guard members and Border Control with barbed wire and fencing, the area close to a train track in El Paso was 'flooded with people'.
52% : Thousands of asylum seekers can be seen waiting to be transported by Border Control to be processed - less than half a mile from the official immigration center in Texas.
52% : The guidance, invoked by Donald Trump in 2020 during the pandemic, allows officers to easily turn asylum seekers away at the southern border.
48% :'We have a job to do we have to uphold the law and working with border patrol here that's our job but there is a human side to it and it is extremely sad.'Sometimes we do what we have to do because it is our job.'
46% : Torres added that he himself had given clothing to a 22-year-old migrant who was rushed to hospital with hypothermia, because stocks in Border Control and other agencies were running so low.
