For Star subscribers: The number of migrants coming into the U.S. at the border with Mexico could decrease substantially because of a new Biden policy, preliminary data indicates.
Danyelle Khmara The number of migrants coming into the country at the U.S.-Mexico border could decrease this month because of a new migration policy, based on preliminary data released Friday.
In the three months since the policy was enacted, the number of times Venezuelans were apprehended at the border in Arizona decreased by more than 84%, according to Customs and Border Protection data released Jan. 20. While migrants from Venezuela were not crossing the border in large numbers in Arizona, migrants from Cuba made up nearly 23% of apprehensions at the state’s U.S.-Mexico border in December. If you add in the other two countries included in the expansion, Haiti and Nicaragua, that makes up nearly 27% of apprehensions in Arizona in December, at 14,542.
While data on January’s apprehensions won’t be made public until sometime in February, if the policy works with other nationalities in the way it has with Venezuelans, Arizona and the rest of the country could see a decrease in migrants at the southern border. Migration trends have been shifting over the last few years. While the majority of migrants crossing unauthorized at the U.S.-Mexico border historically were from Mexico and the Northern Triangle — Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — over the last few years there has been a huge increase in migrants coming to the U.S. from countries that are much farther away, as political, civil and economic unrest grows in the Western Hemisphere and throughout the world.
“This new migration challenge is not unique to the United States. There are 2.5 million Venezuelans now living in Colombia and 1.5 million in Peru; Brazil and Chile are hosting more than 350,000 Haitians, and the number of displaced Nicaraguans in Costa Rica has more than doubled in the last 12 months alone.”
