The fate of migrants depends on the results of the US elections

On the border with the USA, in the Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez, many migrants anxiously await the results of the presidential elections. They fear that the asylum process may change.

Both Republican Trump and Democrat Harris promised to tighten immigration policy.

"It's hope, a door that can be closed," Venezuelan migrant Malbi Peña told the Associated Press.

In 2020, US Customs and Border Protection launched a mobile app, CBP One, that provides access to certain service features.

Arrests for illegal border crossings with Mexico fell 7% in September to a four-year low.

Critics accuse President Joe Biden's administration of not sufficiently enforcing immigration laws.

In September, the Border Patrol agency allowed more than 44,600 people to enter the country through CBP One.

It should be noted that Donald Trump recently promised to carry out the largest deportation operation in American history if elected.
