A small town in Wisconsin, with a population of approximately 15,000, has become the focal point of the national border crisis, with at least 1,000 migrants, mostly from Nicaragua and Venezuela, arriving since the inauguration of President Biden. These new arrivals, who lack official identification, have been keeping to themselves, raising concerns among local residents about the financial implications of supporting them. The situation in Whitewater, Wisconsin, reflects the broader challenges faced by small towns across America in accommodating a sudden influx of migrants.

I spent a few days in Whitewater, Wisconsin, a town of ~15,00, where at least 1,000 migrants have arrived since Biden took office. Everyone there was welcoming and tolerant. But one question kept coming up: How do we pay for this? https://t.co/PZg0cvIs0G
