Biden 'must secure our border': El Paso County judge candidate sounds off on migrant crisis Hannah Ray Lambert Sun, October 2, 2022, 12:00 AM·3 min read As El Paso County continues to grapple with a surge of migrants crossing the southern border, a candidate for county judge said the government shouldn't use local tax dollars to "process federal failures."
"The federal government must secure our border," said Guadalupe Giner, who is running as an Independent. "They put this burden on El Paso County. And for whatever reason, the county has decided to open a processing center."
The El Paso County Commissioners Court approved a $6.8 million contract in September to open a new migrant support center near the airport.

Get Marty Robbins on the case.
“Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl....’’
I can’t help but wonder if he’s looking around towns down here from up there with a Big Iron (on his hip) ☕️😬 LOL
Yeah man ! “To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day/hardly spoke to folks around him, didn’t have too much to say/no cared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip/ ‘the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip’’.
FRiend I like your style.
Btw nobody ever covered a Marty Robbins tune like Bob Weir used to do.
