| | 4. Migration: The US political battle playing out at the Mexican borderПт, 19 апр[-/+]Категория(?) Автор(?) | 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.
