In recent weeks, U.S. Customs and Border Protection apprehended more than 500 illegal immigrants from African countries that include Angola, Cameroon, and both the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Associated Press reported.
That's more than twice the 211 total apprehensions during fiscal year 2018 of illegal border crossers from the continent.
More than 13,000 of those caught at the border in fiscal 2018 came from Asian countries.
Only 172 illegal immigrants from that volatile region, which spans parts of three continents, were captured at the southern border in fiscal 2018.
"But if all you have to do is come to Mexico and a couple of weeks later cross the border and claim asylum, it's worth the trip."
Apprehensions at the southern border dropped by about 1 million since fiscal 2006.
In 2007, Border Patrol apprehended 876,874 illegals at the southern border, according to Customs and Border Protection.
