Migrant crossings at US southern border decrease by early 2024 | Video

Jacumba, Mar 5 (EFE/EPA).- Migrants were seen setting up camp on Monday while awaiting US Border Patrol in Jacumba, California, as the United States experiences a significant drop in the number of illegal crossings from Mexico in the first few months of 2024.

This decline comes amid mounting pressure from both political parties on US President Biden to strengthen border security.

Despite efforts to address the issue, President Biden has had difficulty passing a new bipartisan border security bill in Congress.

The situation on the southern border remains a focal point of national debate, with ongoing discussions on how to effectively manage immigration while ensuring security. (Camera: ALLISON DINNER).
