As is noted in the article, those on the border believe that the Trump administration is creating a crisis

[quote]Some immigrant advocates and elected officials were skeptical of the timing of the releases, suggesting they were part of a Trump administration effort to justify the president’s descriptions of a border in crisis and his declaration of a national emergency. Border Patrol officials deny such claims.

Representative Vicente Gonzalez, a Texas Democrat whose district includes McAllen, criticized the mass release of migrants “without processing, without proper plans for housing and with no course of reasonable action” and questioned the administration’s motives.

[b]“President Trump, Secretary Nielsen, and the entire administration have been presented with the truth — there is no crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border,” he said in the statement. “Their response? Create one.”[/b][/quote]

And the Trump administration has exacerbated the problem by shutting down programs that helped manage asylum claims such as the Central American Minors program and the Family Case Management Program.
