The Biden administration’s new migration policies seem to be cutting the number of undocumented migrants at the border, in Arizona and nationally, for the second month in a row.
Danyelle Khmara The Biden administration’s new migration policies seem to be cutting the number of undocumented migrants at the border for the second month in a row, according to federal data released Wednesday.
In Arizona, the numbers of apprehensions in January and February were about 32,800 and 35,400, respectively, down from 54,400 in December. These migrants and some others can apply for an exemption from Title 42 and a chance to be paroled into the country to seek asylum on the CBP One app, where some migrants can submit their biographical information to Customs and Border Protection and be vetted before arriving at a port of entry.
Migrants waiting in Nogales, Sonora, for an opportunity to seek asylum have also had challenges getting an appointment through the app, according to the Kino Border Initiative, a binational migrant-aide organization in Nogales. Crossings shift to ports of entryThe number of migrants from the four countries currently in the program, Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba and Nicaragua, has decreased overall, from a high of nearly 99,000 in December, nationwide, to almost 36,000 and 38,000 in January and February, respectively.
