Trump's administration will send thousands of illegal immigrants to South Florida: why

The Trump administration is preparing to release hundreds of asylum seekers caught along the southern border. They are expected to be brought to Broward and Palm Beach counties in Florida. At the same time, the administration has no plan for their accommodation and meals.

Broward County Mayor Mark Bogen said that customs and border guards warned him about plans to bring and leave about a thousand immigrant families every month for an unknown period of time, writes USA Today.

Bogen called it "irresponsible" and warned he would create a "homeless encampment" in his South Florida district.

“Bringing hundreds of people here every week without providing the necessary resources to house and feed them is inhumane,” Bogen said.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Rick Bradshaw received similar reports from the head of customs and border patrols in Miami. He said it would be mostly families that are currently in El Paso, Texas. Their data will be processed at the Temporary Immigrant Centers in Broward and Palm Beach counties, taking into account the date of their appearance in the immigration court, and then released.

In addition, Bradshaw said no other details or offers of assistance were provided.

“There’s no place to stay,” he said. “There’s just no real plan for what’s next for these people.”

The decision to send migrants to Florida seems to be the last and most desperate step of the border patrol.

The agency complained about the overcrowding of immigrant maintenance centers with a record number of families crossing the border. The immigration and customs service, which is responsible for the internal immigration service and has more available places of detention, also reported a lack of space.

This has led border patrol agents to release migrants directly to local communities, bus stations, shelters, churches and other places along the border. In Tucson, this is happening since March.

It remains unclear why the Trump administration chose South Florida as the first location not along the southern border. President earlier discussed desire punish so-called “sanctuary cities” that do not fully follow federal immigration laws. The President threatened to send immigrants to these cities. But Bradshaw, like Broward officials, vehemently denies that Palm Beach County is a sanctuary for immigrants.

In Palm Beach County, the Trump Club Mar-a-Lago is located.

Transfers are expected to begin within the next two weeks, and this will force South Florida officials to introduce their emergency mass migration plans, originally designed for waves of Cuban and Haitian immigrants. Bradshaw said he never imagined that the plan would be used that way.

“The mass migration plan is designed to deal with immigrants who come here by water... Then we take them into custody and turn them over to the Border Patrol. But it’s not the Border Patrol bringing them to us from another state,” he said.

Palm Beach County Mayor Mac Bernard said they were discussing the creation of tent camps for the temporary accommodation of migrants after their release from custody. They can also contact local health authorities to check migrants for infectious diseases or medical problems.

Bernard said he may even request an emergency declaration, taking into account the costs and resources that may be needed to care for migrants.

“If we have to solve this problem on our own, we will do everything we can to feed these people and provide them with shelter,” Bernard said. “But this will put a financial strain on our already tight budget.”
