YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Over 20,000 migrants have arrived in New York City by bus in the past six months, and the city is at a tipping point. While the narrative in the media focuses on the Republican governors, it turns out that the Democratic mayor of El Paso has sent more buses to New York than Governor Abbott. In partnership with the El Paso Times, reporter Lauren Villagran follows a young Venezuelan family as they travel by bus to New York City.
