CIUDAD ACUNA, Mexico – Federal homeland security agencies are well into a multi-faceted, expensive operation to quickly reduce the size and dawning political damage of a massive illegal immigrant shantytown that has expanded to 15,000 in a single week in Del Rio, just across the Rio Grande from this Mexican city. It is perhaps the largest such migrant camp ever to have formed in the United States, and the Texas Department of Public Safety has formed a Maginot Line of cruisers blocking off the flow from across the river while the Department of Homeland Security is using a fleet of school buses to relocate the thousands who got in.
But as federal and state authorities work to shutter the migrant shantytown, a basic necessary question has gone unasked and unanswered: Why did this happen?
The answer to that might better inform any American response to make sure it never happens again, with an encampment of that size's latent public safety and national security threat.
To find the answer, this writer came to Ciudad Acuna, the city through which the migrants had passed to form the encampment and asked several dozen of them what happened.
