Several migrants who illegally passed into Yuma, Ariz., talked this week with Daily Caller field reporter Jorge Ventura, who asked them if they’ve found it easier to cross now that President Biden is in office.
“First of all, he does not separate families,” one Colombian migrant said, according to a translation. “Second, one can wait less, when before it was six months. Now it goes by faster to wait under asylum.”

Ventura pressed the migrants further, asking why they didn’t want to cross into the US during the last administration.

The Washington Examiner reported that 11 National Guard soldiers make up the only law enforcement occupation from outside Texas in the Rio Grande Valley — down from nearly 200 military and police mere months ago.
