The increase in illegal border crossings since April is basically due to an increase in single adult crossings in Mexico.
In July, 38,347 more people were arrested after illegally crossing the southwest border, 88% of whom were single adults, according to knowledge provided through U.S. Customs and Border Protection.But it’s not the first time
In July 2019, the government arrested 71978 people crossing the border, 33% of whom were single adults.
Illegal border crossings began to decline in the summer of 2019, mainly due to a decrease in the number of groups of family members who attempted to cross and seek asylum in the United States.
Asylum applications in the United States have largely disappeared due to policies by the Trump administration, such as so-called migrant coverage protocols, also known as Stay in Mexico, where asylum seekers have been forced to wait for their case in Mexico to end., many of which converge in unhealthy refugee camps along the border.
Single adult arrests remained strong until their fall in April after the coronavirus pandemic, and have since risen by degrees consistent with their summer peak in 2019.
As the number of other people traveling in family group circles has decreased, so has the number of Central Americans attempting to enter the United States without prior authorization.
Several points have made crossing Mexico more complicated for Central Americans, adding the pandemic and a more competitive application of Mexican immigration.
At the same time, Mexico’s wobbly economy and increased organized criminal violence have led more Mexican citizens to seek more in the United States.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, Mexico’s economy increased 19% from April to June, while cutting 7.4 million jobs.
And Central American countries have closed their borders due to the pandemic, which has led smugglers to market their products to Mexican citizens due to a lack of Central American customers, the Journal reported.
U.S. border policies have also helped increase the number of single Mexican adults trying to cross.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, border officials have relied on so-called Title 42 deportations: abstract repatriations of border personnel under the guise of a fitness directive from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Quick evictions leave no clues and do little to deter others from trying the pace over and over again, according to a recent Washington Post report.
