Description
President Joe Biden's executive action to restrict asylum claims at the United States-Mexico border will not stop migrants from trying to come to the U.S., according to the executive director of the Southern Border Communities Coalition.
CBS 8 interviewed Lilian Serrano at the border in San Diego Tuesday.
"We know from experience of other similar announcements, other similar actions, that it won't slow down migration," said Serrano. "Unfortunately when somebody's life is in danger, and they're making the toughest decision of their lives which is to leave their home and everything they know, an announcement by a foreign president is not part of the equation."
Serrano said what she believes will happen, is more migrants will just end up trying to cross the border in more remote areas. She fears it will result in more deaths.
