The new location on Tucson's south side on West Drexel Road near Interstate 19 is part of the migrant services run by Pima County and Catholic Community Services.
Pima County’s new migrant services site is receiving a larger proportion of people from non-Spanish-speaking countries, following the Biden administration’s policy changes. And it could be in for a huge influx of people as policy changes will likely continue next month.
Now instead of interacting in one or two different languages a day, people are now most comfortable in one of five to seven different languages. Finding people who can communicate with the variety of languages spoken at the centers is an additional challenge, and sometimes they’re left to communicate with Google translate, Cavendish says.
He announced an expansion to this policy on Jan. 5, to include migrants from Nicaragua, Cuba and Haiti. These migrants and others can apply for an exemption to Title 42 and a chance to enter the country and apply for asylum by applying on the CBP One app.
“We're altering our food requests and our food service to make sure that they know that we respect their beliefs and respect their practices and are doing our best to accommodate,” Cavendish says.
