PBS NewsHour’s Amna Nawaz reports from Mexico on some of the challenges facing migrants that are coming from all over the world to try to get into the U.S., overwhelming immigration systems in both nations. Immigration is a leading issue in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election and both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have made it a centerpiece of their campaigns.
Federal and state officials, along with immigration advocates have all stressed the need for more resources and support for people making their way into the U.S., especially through the southern border. Unaccompanied children make up some of the thousands of people coming through the border, leading to concern for their health and safety, especially amid overburdened and ill-equipped support services.
