A 2,000-strong migrant caravan currently making its way to the U.S. could become more commonplace if former President Donald Trump wins the election, one expert argues.
A group of 2,000 migrants making its way to the U.S. border could be the start of a wave of attempted crossings as the presidential election nears, according to one expert.
Whoever wins should not close the doors to us, should give us the support we need, because we are all really going through a bad time,' one of the migrants told the Associated Press. Ries expects that flow to intensify between election day and the inauguration if former President Donald Trump defeats Vice President Kamala Harris, noting that migrants will fear Trump will do more to close off the southern border.
Border security has been at the top of mind for voters ahead of this year’s election after a record-setting three years of illegal crossings under President Biden, an issue Harris has also had to confront after being appointed by Biden to help solve the root causes of migration in 2021. Republicans have continued to hammer Harris for her role as 'border czar' since she took over at the top of the ticket, while she has vowed stricter enforcement measures on the campaign trail.
Trump, meanwhile, has made border security and immigration a centerpiece of his campaign, which has included promises of the 'largest mass deportation in the history of our country.'
