New migration policies under Donald Trump’s second term are reshaping the U.S.-Mexico border landscape, with asylum applications declining sharply – a trend some call “the Trump effect.” 🛂📉
Fear is spreading among undocumented migrants in the U.S. and asylum seekers in Mexico as stricter enforcement measures take hold. CGTN reports that attempted crossings have slowed, signaling a potential long-term shift in migration patterns. “People are scared to even try now,” one advocate told reporters.
While numbers dip, debates rage: critics argue the policies endanger vulnerable families, while supporters highlight reduced strain on border resources. 🌎💬 Will this trend hold? Analysts say much depends on how Mexico responds to shifting U.S. priorities.
