- The US-Mexico border is the most dangerous land frontier in the world, according to the United Nations, but it's also the one with the most crossings. Since January 2023, 2.3 million migrants have been apprehended by border police after entering the United States illegally, an all-time high that does not include migrants who got through without being arrested or taken charge of, or those who died trying to cross. The situation has become unmanageable for Texas border towns like Eagle Pass, which has become the epicentre of these illegal arrivals. Our correspondent Fanny Allard reports.

So the only way to cross the border is to cross the river, nonsense we have border crossing stations for people to cross legally. They choose to cross the river , no one is forcing them .
Biden and democrats are, they promised them admission and taxpayers funding for everthing.
It's NOT Governor Abbott's fault!!! They are adults! They chose to risk their family's lives! Yes it's sad when someone dies, but please stop doing this to your families!!!
The victimizing is overwhelming 😾
Enough is enough, you can't just come and expect to be let in. I can't go into Mexico and demand anything. What a shame people are dumba bough to keep trying
If they want to go in why don't they go to the Port of entry
They don't have qualification to do that 😂
Then they should not have come! It's their fault for putting their family in these conditions and no one else! Don't come here thinking you can break the laws of US. Go back!!!
And why is that? If they don't have the qualifications, then they never should have put their children in this situation to begin with! This is child abuse!!! Take responsibility it's your fault, not Governor Abbotts's, he's doing his best to protect our country's citizens from drugs, pedophiles, murders, terroris, rapest and thieves!!!!
No one is forcing them to come here this is a choice they made for themselves.
Close the boarder Mexico can occur the cost the truth will come out the cartel is in charge of the boarder
Its sad. For the children
It breaks my heart to see the poor little children, but I understand that they can't simply migrate to the us like these...
If in fact her children are thirsty and hungry Mexico has shelters willing to house them and feed them until their interview.
Why dont they just cross the bridge on Mexico 🇲🇽 side an stead of crossing the river 306 drowning
Of course the US would be blamed for these people dying. Its not the immigrants fault that these people chose to come across the Rio Grand instead of the right way. So tired for the US being blamed for other countries problems and incompetence
They chose to leave their country....
Lol oh wow..😂ok i need to tell you! The Media companies hire people to do these media pieces to pull at your heart strings. I work as an advocate & was offered 237,000 a year to these kinds of pieces for homeless drug addicts in CA. Be warned!
there is a legal way if you used that you would not be dead , that is the price for breaking the law
A lot of those migrant are dead from starving and dehydration
Propaganda make feel sorry Turn around go HOME Dont let the door hit you in the back
Go thru the border.
If you read and believe your holy Bible, God tells you about the law of the land , you must follow every countrys laws , if you do that you wouldn't see that many deaths, Rules work follow them, stop breaking laws .🇺🇸 Romans ch 13 1-2
The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. - Leviticus 19:34
These people should come in legally I'm an immigrant from Kenya 🇰🇪 and i came into the United States 🇺🇲 legally
🙄🥱
If they not crossing trough port of entrer they not looking safe place. They looking for everything free. Tbey oroubly now in there country they have work fir it
Asking for asylum is legal. Turning safety seekers away is a violation of international law.
Ther not asylum seekers, not migrants their economic opportunists! If you want to push international.law tell Egypt to let the Palestinians into their country! Let the illegal border crashers stay in Mexico, Costa Rica, all South American countries! It's Sorros, Catholic Charitie, Biden'Obama administration! .Asylum Seekers are to ask for Asylum in 1st country they come to that is friendly to Their plight! Their coming thru 7-8-9 countries for a free ride off the backs of American Taxpayers!
i dont see how language has to be a factor to seek asylum. Languages are languages, not everyone is born to speak english, and not everyone is born to speak spanish. Plus, may i remind the US has no official language
@Peter-dr7hs so what? I’m not compatible with American culture
@Peter-dr7hs
I speak Swiss German, my wife is from Norway. By your logic, no one should seek asylum in these countries... 🤯
