The arrival of migrants fell on the US-Mexico border in October: CBP | US-Mexico border news

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said migrant encounters in the U.S.-Mexico border in October fell by 14 percent.

number of migrants Those crossing the southern border of Mexico in the United States fell for the third month in a row during October, according to official data, and the number of Haitians fell by 94 percent.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) he said on Monday, 164,303 migrants were found US-Mexico border in October, compared to September, a drop of 14 percent. There were 902 Haitians, more than 17,600 who crossed in September.

“October marks the third month in a row that the number of unauthorized migrant encounters across the Southwest border is declining, with particularly significant declines in families and unaccompanied children,” CBP Acting Commissioner Troy Miller said in a statement.

The reduction in the number of migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border comes after months of flooding that border officials overwhelmed and increased pressure from the U.S. administration. President Joe Biden.

Biden’s rivals have accused him of encouraging migrants to take a dangerous walk by undoing some of his former Donald Trump’s restrictive policies.

Rights groups say the U.S. is not doing enough to establish an effective and legitimate system that allows it to protect its vulnerabilities in the U.S.

The new numbers also come after the U.S. went to expel more than 8,700 Haitian migrants in September he camped under a bridge in southern Texas to seek asylum in the U.S.

Biden administration officials said the deportations were in line with U.S. law, but immigration advocates condemned the move, saying the deportation of Haitians to a country plagued by political instability, poverty and natural disasters was cruel and a violation of international law.

Last week, citing the worsening political crisis and severe fuel shortages, the U.S. State Department he asked American citizens to leave Haiti.

Earlier this month, the US He reopened the U.S.-Mexico border to non-essential travel after a nearly 20-month closure associated with the coronavirus pandemic.

The measure is effective suspended asylum in the country. And in October, according to CBP, more than 57 percent of migrants were deported under Title 42.

In the previous U.S. fiscal year, which began in October 2020, 1.7 million migrants were arrested at the border, the highest ever.

But many migrants are repeat cruisers, according to CBP. Most migrants are deported to Mexico, and because deportation under Title 42 is quick and paperless, many people try to try again.

In October, CBP said 29 percent of migrants had made the attempt at least once in the previous 12 months.

Last month, migrants in a caravan set off on foot from southern Mexico to the U.S. and the Mexican border. In its time, the caravan consisted of about 4,000 people, many of whom had small children.

But amidst several harsh weather conditions, fatigue and the spread of dengue fever among several people, the group was reduced to hundreds.

Last week, a migrant leader said a much larger group would leave the southern Mexican city of Tapachula on Nov. 18 and move to the U.S. In the past, it has been done by Mexican officials blocked the migrant caravan approached the southern border of the United States.
