America is preparing for an influx of irregular migrants at its southern borders – France 24

On Thursday evening, the United States will start lifting a measure that has restricted access to its territory since the beginning of the Covid-19 epidemic. This change is expected to cause confusion and anxiety for the thousands of migrants crowding the southern border with Mexico. And while President Joe Biden acknowledged that the situation would be “chaotic,” the federal government mobilized “more than 24,000 agents and law enforcement personnel” at the border, in addition to 4,000 troops, in an attempt to stem the flow of immigrants that would follow the lifting of this measure.
