The Border Patrol is seeing a dramatic shift in the type of migrants who come across the busiest places on the U.S.-Mexico.
YUMA, Ariz.
It's a routine task for the Border Patrol in the wee hours in this flat expanse of desert where the wall ends. Migrants from at least 115 countries have been stopped here in the last year, but that may be less striking than what's missing: Mexicans are virtually absent. Mexicans still account for 7 of every 10 encounters in the Border Patrol's Tucson, Arizona, sector, where smugglers order them to walk at night with black-painted water jugs, camouflage backpacks and boots with carpeted soles to avoid leaving tracks in the sand, said John Modlin, the sector chief.
“The challenge is what Mexico can accept," Modlin said."That’s always going to be a limiting factor.”, with the pandemic rule being applied in only 192 of 24,424 stops in July — less than 1%. In Tucson, it was used in 71% of stops. A court order has kept Title 42 in place indefinitely.It is unclear why routes are so divergent. U.S.
If English and Spanish fail, agents use Google Translate to question them under generator-powered lights, take photos and load them onto buses. Nelson Munera, 40, said he, his wife and their 17-year-old son got off a bus on the highway and crossed to Yuma because fellow Colombians had taken the same route.
