..the border in those areas:
Some Texas border cities are already under a state of emergency
The day before Title 42 was scheduled to end, hundreds of migrants gathered on the banks of the Rio Grande near Brownsville, Texas. Some of them cut a hole through a fence and made it to onto U.S. soil before uniformed agents resealed the barricade. The majority retreated and bided their time. Come midnight when the expulsion policy ends, said Elizabeth Guerra, a migrant from Brazil who described herself as “desperate,” she planned to turn herself in to U.S. immigration officials. Anticipating that thousands more people will attempt to do the same all along the border, officials in Texas cities like Brownsville, Laredo and El Paso have declared states of emergency, which allow them to seek more resources from the federal government to transport and house the new arrivals.
I took these photos when I was at the Rio Grande and it's not very Grande at all due to the drought and you can see Mexicans on the other side...
The canyon on the left is Mexico and the one on the right is America:
