Yorman Briceno, a would-be migrant from Venezuela, expresses frustration over the closed immigration paths to the U. S. as he awaits asylum in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
• Briceno states that legal entry into the U. S. is hopeless under Trump’s administration, which has significantly reduced both illegal and legal immigration.
• Border crossings have decreased to the lowest levels since the 1960s due to Trump’s stringent policies, including mass deportations and expelling immigrants to tent cities in Juarez.
• Amidst a potential Trump re-election, many migrants are rushing to cross the border.
• The Biden administration's approach led to more than 2 million annual crossings, but the number dropped to 48,000 monthly in December as they attempted to reduce illegal immigration.
• Trump's border security measures include requiring asylum seekers to wait in Mexico and collaborating with countries like Panama to manage immigrant flows.
The contrasting immigration policies under Trump and Biden highlight the ongoing challenges faced by migrants seeking entry into the United States.
