Growing Number Of Migrants Turn Back Home Instead Of Facing Trump’s Immigration Policies
5 weeks ago
A growing number of migrants who were heading to the United States have decided to go back home instead of facing President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
According to officials in Mexico, between 50 and 100 migrants have already requested a "voluntary return" to their own countries – citing Trump’s mass deportation plan, his intention to reinstate the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy and his plans to scrap the CBP One app that has allowed hundreds of thousands of migrants to schedule their border crossings.
However, others saying they’re still coming, hoping that they can get across the border and disappear into the country.
Two migrant caravans were broken up by Mexican authorities shortly after Trump threatened to enact 25% tariffs on the country, if they didn’t do more to secure the border.
