In recent months, the majority of Migrants entering the United States or apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border have been coming from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Haiti. This change in demographics is likely due to the economic hardships caused by the recent collapse of the Venezuelan economy. Title 42, a public health measure put in place at the border during the pandemic, officially ended on May 11th. Now, migrants at the border are being processed under Title 8, the U.S. law covering immigration. Title 8 allows migrants to seek asylum or other relief in the United States if they fear persecution at home. In addition, U.S. officials say between February and April, the U.S. Border Patrol has also encountered migrants from Brazil, Colombia, India, Romania, Russia, and Turkey. There are now 1,000 slots available on the CBPOne app, but it is plagued by glitches.
