Biden's border control policy leaves migrants stranded at Mexico border
Migrants camp at the border
According to officials from both the United States and Mexico, there are tens of thousands of individuals waiting in perilous Mexican border towns in hopes of securing a place on the app. Additionally, humanitarian organisations have raised concerns about the worsening sanitary conditions in migrant camps.
Poor sanitation and deteriorating health in the camp
Children in the camps are suffering from diarrhoea due to the water being contaminated.
The asylum policy seems to be counter-productive
Although he aimed to make migration more lenient for Mexicans, the size of the camp has increased under the Biden administration compared to the years under Trump.
The migrants waiting at the border cannot use the app
Migrants who do not utilise the Customs and Border Protection app, known as CBP One, encounter a more challenging process to claim asylum if they have traveled through another country without seeking refuge there. Critics argue that this requirement closely resembles a policy implemented by the Trump administration, which was ultimately halted by the courts.
Biden receives backlash from migrants
Migrants claim that they are feeling paralysed, since they do not own any smart devices. Non-profit organisations have reported that they are running out of resources to help the camp.
