Thousands Of Migrants March Through Mexico, Break Through Wall Of Police Officers Trying To Stop Them
Thousands of migrants from Latin America stormed through Mexican law enforcement officials in southern Mexico over the weekend on their way north, with many seeking to reach the U.S. border.
“Within hours, the flood of migrants encountered a wall of Mexican interior police wearing protective gear and wielding shields,” Fox News reported. “But the security did not hold, as migrants forced their way through the blockade and continued on their way to try and seek entry into the U.S. interior.”
Some estimates put the number of migrants as high as 5,000.

“Border crossings surpassed 1.6 million annually at least twice recently, in 1986 and in 2000,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “In 2019, when crossings reached a peak under the Trump administration, the Border Patrol made about 850,000 arrests.”
The Journal added that the 1.66 million arrests in Fiscal Year 2021, which started in October 2020, was “the highest annual number ever recorded.”
