Donald Trump maybe crying about migrants….
But?
The number of them HAVE dropped by almost 75%…
Part of the reason in the Biden admin policy….
Part of it is also Mexican actions….
None of it has to do with Texas……
The foreigners have been stopped at highway checkpoints or plucked from buses and trains, caught in a massive dragnet set up by Mexico under U.S. pressure. But the government can’t afford to deport them. So it sends them back here to southern Mexico — where many simply turn around and head north again.
The tactic isn’t totally new, but is being employed more aggressively than ever before. Since the start of this year, the Mexican government has bused around 10,000 migrants a month to the south, roughly double the figure last year, according to official data obtained by the migrant activist Gretchen Kuhner. Thousands more captured migrants are loaded onto planes or minibuses for the trip.
Senior U.S. officials and migrant advocates say the operation is a major factor in the stunning fall in apprehensions at the U.S. border, down 77 percent since December.
But it’s unclear whether the results are sustainable. The number of migrants camped out in Mexican cities is rising. And advocates and aid workers worry about the human toll.
“I call it the policy of wearing people out,” said Eunice Rendón, head of the nonprofit advocacy group Agenda Migrante…..
Note….
One WOULD think Mexico would want a Harris win vs a Trump one, eh?
