Stranded Migrants Face Uncertainty in Mexico
26th January 2025
Migrants from Guatemala, Venezuela, and other countries attempting to cross the border into the United States have found themselves stuck in Mexico after the Trump administration closed the asylum system at the border, The Washington Post reported.
On Monday Trump scrapped the program known as CBP One that allowed asylum seekers to schedule appointments on their phones before arriving at the border.
Also this week, the Trump administration began shutting down the processing offices in Latin America that the Biden administration had created to give migrants legal immigration options to dissuade them from crossing the U.S. southern border illegally, CBS News reported.
They could always go back where they came from — or just stay there in the first place — and try to make things better there, rather than leech off of our successful efforts to create a great country.
