Possible crossing points for migrants in Del Rio, US – 06 May 2021
(77WABC) — Customs and Border Protection officials say another new record was set over the weekend of migrant crossings — for fiscal year 2022.
Migrant encounters hit 2,001,034 this weekend, with the majority of the fourth quarter left to go. At this point in fiscal year 2021, encounter figures were at 1,277,177 – more than 700,000 less than the same point this year.
New York City Rep. Nicole Malliotakis this week called for the influx to stop.
Busloads of migrants continued to offload at New York city’s port authority Wednesday as Texas governor Greg Abbott continues to send illegal immigrants out of his state to major U.S. cities.
