A group of 2,000 migrants is reportedly making its way to the U.S. border, potentially signaling the beginning of a wave of attempted crossings as the presidential election approaches. Lora Ries, director of the Heritage Foundation's Border Security and Immigration Center, expressed concerns that any agreements made with Mexico to reduce migration flow before the election may end shortly after the election.
According to sources, around 2,000 migrants left Mexico's border on Sunday, with some admitting that they are undertaking the journey due to fears about the election outcome. One migrant stated, 'Whoever wins (in the United States election) should not close the doors to us, [they] should give us the support we need, because we are all really going through a bad time.'
