Mexican officials say 80% of Mexican nationals were injured while attempting to cross the border illegally into San Diego were hurt because they fell from Trump’s 30-foot border wall.
However, advocates say Title 42 and other federal policies that limit legal entries into the United States incentivize illegal crossings.
Title 42, which the Trump administration implemented in April 2020, allows border patrol agents to turn away asylum seekers at the border without giving them a chance to see an immigration judge. For some, the asylum process is the only legal pathway into the United States.When asked about Title 42, McGurk-Daniel said CBP agents have no control over immigration policy.
“As dynamic as our mission changes, we do not have control and we do our best with what we have but we do it humanely and that is up to lawmakers to decide moving forward,” she said.Gustavo became the Investigative Border Reporter at KPBS in 2021.
