MIDLAND COUNTY, Texas — Birds chirping, windmills turning and Texas flags flying in this quiet Midland county neighborhood.
But since Sunday, neighbors here say there's more traffic on the streets, more distant noise of kids playing, and more locking their doors at night.
Why? New neighbors.
Specifically 500 migrant children, teenage boys who were brought here on March 14-15.
Many neighbors say they're most upset because they weren't given any notice, just like how local officials feel.
They also say they didn't like the fact that these migrants were brought in over night.
Most say they found out from Federal Protective Service officers patroling their street.
One woman in the area says that she was thinking of building another home here but now she's reconsidering.
So what are their worries?
That these teenagers escape, or that they break into their homes.
And that right now, they have a lot more questions, than answers.
NewsWest 9 spoke to the owners of an RV park right next door to the man camp and they said they just recently bought the property.
Once they heard about the situation they started driving here from Houston but say since they arrived they haven't noticed any differences in having these new neighbors.
Another neighbor tells us he's a retired pastor and says he's concerned about the well-being of the teens. He says he's tried contacting Immigrations and Custom Enforcement as well as the Red Cross to be able to minister to the migrants, but has been turned away at this time.
