NEW YORK - A record number of immigration along the southern border was reported this past December in the United States. Roughly 300,000 migrants, an all-time monthly high that likely included record numbers of families traveling with children, are on track to be processed into the system, CBS News reports.
The remarkable number follows years of crisis along the border that has left countless of migrants in a legal limbo, increased tension between the American political parties and prompted lawmakers to consider drastically limiting asylum, positioning itself as one of the major issues that will be debated in this upcoming 2024 presidential election.
