TIJUANA, Mexico — Asylum-seekers and their supporters marched toward the San Diego-Tijuana border on Monday in demonstration against a border policy that has kept thousands from being able to request protection in the United States.
They also criticized the disparities that the policy, known as Title 42 has caused, as Ukrainians are now being allowed to cross and request protection while asylum-seekers from elsewhere in the world are turned away.
As part of the demonstration, a small group of asylum-seekers tried to request protection at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, but Customs and Border Protection officers told them that they could not come in.
