CHARLOTTE � There's currently an immigrant influx in Charlotte as local activists said hundreds of people are arriving on buses daily from the Texas border.
Organizations said they are maxed out and desperately need help as immigrants continue to arrive. It's a problem playing out in multiple cities in the United States, and Channel 9 and Telemundo Charlotte are now learning the Queen City is one of them.
"Right now, we have an emergency," said Jose Hernandez Paris, with the {Latin American} coalition.
Since May, the coalition said 1,400 immigrants have arrived by bus to Charlotte. A majority are from Venezuela, with others from Columbia, Nicaragua and other countries.
Leaders of the coalition said the influx of immigrants is outpacing the housing and services available.
"Literally, we're picking them up at times at the bus station with a child and have no money, no food, no shelter, no connection," Paris said.
The Texas governor told Channel 9 that the state itself is sending buses of immigrants to Washington, D.C. and New York City in "response to the Biden Administration's open border policies overwhelming Texas communities."
Texas officials said they are not sending immigrants to Charlotte, but Latino leaders said it doesn't matter who is, they're just begging the city and county to help.
It's the Biden administration, of course, who else? This is the planned destruction of America as we know it. Remember in November.
