The Texas town of Eagle Pass, with a population of just 29,000, is facing a severe strain due to the influx of 302,000 illegal immigrants across the southern border. The local fire department is spending an unsustainable $21,000 daily on migrant-related emergencies, including a spike in drownings in the Rio Grande. This situation has forced the town to order additional refrigeration units to manage the increasing number of bodies. The federal government's lack of intervention and financial support is leaving small border towns to bear the brunt of this crisis. The narrative suggests the dire need for federal action and a more controlled migration policy to prevent further humanitarian and economic strain on local communities.
