Over 11K migrants amassed at southern border — as caravan heads to US
NY Post
More than 11,000 asylum seekers are already huddled on the Mexican side of the southern border in shelters in camps, awaiting an opportunity to cross over into the United States — as a massive migrant caravan continues to make its way north.
Roughly 3,800 asylum seekers from Mexico, Haiti, Venezuela and Cuba are gathered in Tijuana, Mexico, CNN reported.
Another group of about 3,723 migrants are biding their time in Reynosa, across the border from McAllen, Texas.
A crowd of 4,000 asylum seekers also waiting in Matamoros, Mexico, scattered in camps, shelters and abandoned homes.
The migrants are hoping to take advantage of a federal parole program introduced by the Biden Administration earlier this year and cross legally, however, Glady Cañas, who runs a nonprofit providing services to asylum seekers in Matamoros, said those waiting are starting to feel “desperate,” she told CNN.
Meanwhile, migrants are pouring across the southern border illegally into America at record numbers.
