Wave of apprehensions at the borders

There is growing concern and controversy among American citizens over a surge of illegal border crossings, increasing the health risk amid the global Coronavirus pandemic and calling into question immigration policies of the current President of the US, Joe Biden.

CBP (Customs and Border Protection), one of the most important border entities, recently reported that, in March 2021, the number of undocumented immigrants apprehended at the borders increased by 70.58% compared to February, for a total of 172,331 encounters, which includes single adults (also repetitive cases), family units and unaccompanied immigrant minors.

This is the highest monthly (March) number of apprehensions in 15 years, which puts a lot of pressure on the current administration. The reason why the border situation could put Biden’s plans at risk is mainly because several opposition groups are blaming his “permissive policies” for increasing mass irregular migration from Central America.

Republicans blame the Biden administration for the current border situation

Several Republican members of Congress are also criticizing the Biden administration for its reaction to the surge of illegal border crossings and for removing certain Trump policies, which substantially restricted alternatives available to immigrant communities in the midst of the health crisis.

In fact, to give a specific example, Paul Gosar, a Republican member of the US House of Representatives recently commented on Biden’s immigration policies, openly stating that, “In eight short weeks, the Biden administration has destroyed all of President Trump’s progress in securing the southern border. The sad reality is, if Biden had done absolutely nothing eight weeks ago, we would be so much better off today.”

However, it is worth mentioning that the situation in Central America is not the best, which also contributes to the increase in irregular immigration by forcing thousands of people to seek better opportunities in the US.

Don’t be part of the controversy, follow legal guidelines!

The circumstances in different Central American countries and the expectation of building a better future are forcing thousands of people to migrate to the US without legal documentation. However, this is an extremely dangerous journey and, considering that border restrictions related to the health crisis are still in place, almost no undocumented immigrants currently have the possibility to remain in the country, but are returned almost immediately, which increases the health risk.

Adding to that, the US immigration system is quite extensive and there are multiple alternatives that might suit different immigration cases. Considering this fact, there is a high probability that irregular migration takes place when there is lack of information, legal advice and reliable sources.

Therefore, the best alternative when starting your immigration journey in the US is to follow the advice of experts in immigration matters, who know local policies and processes, and will be able to guide you towards the success of your application without going through risky and dangerous situations.
