Description
President Biden weighs invoking an executive action to crack down on migrants seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border as a steady stream of migrants was seen pouring into the United States through a hole in the border wall in East County San Diego.
According to Customs and Border Protection, in January CBP encountered more than 242,500 thousand migrants all across the country. That’s down from nearly 371,000 in December 2023.
More than 300,000 of those encounters in January crossed the border in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California - otherwise known as the Southwest Sector.
“Everybody knows that Mexico is dangerous but for a better lifestyle, it’s worth it,” shared one man seeking asylum in the US from Nicaragua.
He says he found the way to get here online on TikTok.
