SASABE, Ariz. — Instead of waiting for Border Patrol, migrants begin walking down the border road early Tuesday morning east of Sasabe, Arizona.A mix of families and single adult men are coming from Mexico, Central America, South America, and Africa.“I hope they allow us, and allow me to contribute to the country," Manuel says."Let me be here.”
Manuel was unaware of the new executive order by President Biden which seeks to limit the amount of migrants who can seek asylum at the border each day.Border Patrol finally arrives, but they have no vans. Migrants load themselves into the back of the truck, then it’s off to the Border Patrol station in Sasabe.“We have been fleeing the mafias that exist there in Guanajuato," Alfredo Padilla from Mexico said.The migrants left here are all single adult men, as Border Patrol prioritizes apprehending women and children first."One comes here for the possibilities here in the U.S., more than there are in Mexico," Padilla says.
