The letter, written in Spanish with no government logos, spread fear and panic amongst the migrants sleeping on the streets of El Paso.

"It's just a human impulse. Anybody who isn't moved by this needs psychological help," said Juan Ortiz, a volunteer passing out water to migrants.

"There are people who have died here who are immigrants, children, everything. This is serious. These are serious humanitarian crises. It's no joke," Ortiz said.

Luis spent the day in fear, not knowing what he would do — even enlisting the help of a reporter and the priest at the church. Eventually, he had the courage to make the journey to the CBP Processing Center.

So where do you send a letter to a “migrant”? And doesn’t migrant connotate moving back and forth, not just in?

Seems this is being distributed wholesale to all the wetbacks, and they’re in a panic over it. Y-you mean sneaking into another country is a bad thing? It’s against the laws of that country?! Who knew! Help! Mommy!

Yes, if they were true migrants, they would be heading back south right now due to Biden’s stagnant economy.

They used to call them ‘migrant workers’. I guess they gave up on that pretense.

Why not turn themselves in? Nothing bad will happen and they will sign them up for benefits.

I could give a rip for this free loading human garbage. They're here to mooch off the welfare system.

They need to be deported en masse and fix the lands God gave them instead of destroying my country.
