Billboars plastered with the phrase 'New York City Welcomes Immigrants' are popping up across El Paso, promising migrants that it's a 'sanctuary city.'
The signs have appeared around the Texas border city in the last few days on roadside announcements and on the sides of trucks.
A member of 'Concerned Americans,' the group behind the billboards, explained the messages are meant to let border crossers know New York, Chicago and San Francisco are open to having them in their community.
'The cities that we're pointing to are those that welcome undocumented immigrants even if you're homeless or have committed crimes," Will Osbourne told local station KFOX.
'These are cities that have indicated that they're willing to make sacrifices, be that depleting of their resources or outcry from potentially frustrated residents and citizens in their communities.'
Despite these statements, the mysterious organization says their motivation is not political.
'It's more of a blanket statement - just pointing people to the direction of it. These are cities that through their policies and ordinances have indicated that this is the place to be if you're undocumented," Osbourne added.
There are already concerns in West Texas that the billboards are misleading, and that false information actually hurts asylum-seekers.
'I don't know if it reflects current activity within those communities,' Deputy Director for El Paso's Opportunity Center for the Homeless John Martin stated.

In the beleaguered Big Apple, Mayor Eric Adams is begging migrants not to head there anymore, after receiving at least 150,000 asylum-seekers since the migrant crisis began in 2022.
By comparison, the El Paso region has seen more than one million migrants...

Would be great to have this message displayed at all border crossing locations. Americans may as well give nyc what they want ….. status
The whole country is overwhelmed. Why does New York City want sympathy?
Whoreiizontal
So now illegal border crossers are “refugees”?
Seeing those smug urbanites get a heavy dose of the illegal invasion tells me that there IS still justice in the world.
And before that it was a Covid crisis...”send a ship”
the REAL question is...will the new Yorkers who vote democrat keep on voting for the same politicians that led them to their new “nirvana” of social justice? what is that definition of insanity again? seems to apply in this case.
Follow the money. How did Africans get to Mexico, get through customs and travel to the US?
YOU chose to be a “sanctuary city.” YOU pay for it, socialist @ssclown! Keep your filthy hypocritical hands off our tax dollars.
AND, why does NY merit any special considertion in this whole train wreck?
The city of Chicago is looking at legislation to require that buses get a permit to stop and drop illegals in the city. Living up to it’s unofficial slogan; “Ubi Mea”
AS IF any federal funds he’s asking for would EVER be propery administered.
Besides, to Liberals, every ‘emergency’ is just another golden opportunity for graft and corruption!
Well done El Paso! I love it.
Wetbacks or illegals would be correct. Also invaders in the case of military aged men.
