Data from McAllen, Texas, indicates that approximately 50,000 more passengers flew out of the local airport than flew in during a single month. This discrepancy is attributed to the federal government's practice of flying migrants to various locations across the United States. The logistics of these transfers are funded by taxpayer money through federal agencies.
