The Mexican government established a checkpoint near a U.S. border gap known as the San Judas Break to prevent illegal crossings by migrants.
Migrants have since moved to a spot four miles east of the gap, making it harder to reach.
The San Judas Break had become well-known internationally, witnessing a significant number of migrants crossing through a gap in the border fence.
Jerry Shuster, a local landowner, reported a high number of migrants passing through the gap on his property.
“They come through the hole like they’re coming to their own country over here,” Shuster said. “And nobody do nothin’ about it.”
“‘You gotta call Washington D.C,’ that’s what they say,” he said.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection acknowledged the issue but stated that closing the gap would require funding from Congress.
Chinese migrants are among those attempting to cross into the U.S. from Mexico, with a growing number being apprehended at the border.
The House of Representatives voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over border handling, leading President Biden to criticize the move as partisan and detrimental to border security efforts.
“Sadly, the same Republicans pushing this baseless impeachment are rejecting bipartisan plans Secretary Mayorkas and others in my administration have worked hard on to strengthen border security at this very moment — reversing from years of their own demands to pass stronger border bills,” Biden said. “Giving up on real solutions right when they are needed most in order to play politics is not what the American people expect from their leaders.”
