Despite President Trump’s tightening of immigration policies, some Americans are working hard to make sure migrants crossing the southern border are cared for
As United States President Donald Trump’s administration escalates its crackdown on immigration, humanitarian activists are taking increased risks to help the migrants and refugees that cross the country’s southern border.
Shura Wallin, a 78-year-old Arizona-based humanitarian activist, says the Trump administration’s ongoing escalation of anti-immigrant policies have pushed more people to join humanitarian aid groups providing help to immigrants and refugees making the dangerous journey. Even as Trump ratchets up his rhetoric against immigration ahead of the 2020 presidential vote, his administration has suffered a spate of setbacks in recent weeks.
In August, the number of people arrested for crossing the border irregularly dropped for a third consecutive month. “Our Latino community has been on the receiving end of President Donald Trump’s vicious and racist rhetoric since day one,” Antonio Arellano, interim executive director of Jolt Action, a Texas Latino voter organisation, said in a statement provided to TRT World.
