In the last three months, more than 518,000 migrants have been processed by CBP trying to enter the US. The leading cause of this excessive number of processed migrants is the misinformation that exists on the part of migrants and the authorities regarding the procedure for managing income and asylum on the southern border.

Every day that passes on the United States’ southern border, thousands of migrants are processed by the Customs and Border Protection Office (CPB).

This is due to their attempt to enter the country irregularly or lacking any requirement for their correct access to the nation.

Entry or rejection decisions vary a lot for no apparent reason and tend to be interpreted depending on the border agent who processes them.

In addition, the main reason for this lack of control on the part of immigrants is due to the fact that there is no single and priority information that helps them clearly understand how they should proceed so that their access to the US is legal, organized and without problems.

The 518,000 detainees are divided into arrests and encounters: these are their differences

Among these 518,000 people, there are “detainees” and “encounters.” 

We speak of “detainees” when the immigrant wants to enter the country irregularly and must be arrested and processed by the CPB.

The number of detainees and expelled has reached about 16,000 people.

As for the “encounters,” they may or may not lead to the person’s arrest. They have the possibility of applying to the Remain in Mexico Program (MPP), or the Title 42 health policy can be implemented.

It should be noted that the group of “encounters” is divided into accompanied minors, any individual from a family nucleus, singles, adults, and unaccompanied children. The latter reached a figure of 39,000, who were registered and sent to temporary shelters until they receive contact from one of their relatives in the US to receive their guardianship.

The detail is that implementing one policy or another is left to the interpretation of the border authorities that capture the immigrant.

And this is the reason why there is a great deal of misinformation among migrants who want to reach the US, which increases doubts about the border entity, the state government, and the country’s executive power.

There is no centralized message that helps authorities and migrants understand how the situation on the southern border should be handled and avoid these inconveniences.

And this centralized message is becoming more important every day since some 41,000 migrants have been received in San Diego in a three-month period, which means an increase of 78% compared to the same quarter of the previous year.

This rate of increase shows the lack of management and concern on the part of the state and the fact that it is so vital that migrants know the process and carry out their procedures in a regulatory and adequate manner to achieve satisfactory access to the US.

What are some consequences of this situation?

The misinformation among those who wish to reach the US through the southern border means that these migrants do not receive the treatment and the positive response regarding the request for political asylum.

On some occasions, the MPP program is applied; in others, people are allowed to enter; in some, they are given a ‘parole’; in others, Title 42 is implemented, and, in some, no solution is provided.

The application of one of these programs depends on the personal criteria of a person in charge, which is a total lack of information and a single, centralized system that facilitates the entry of those migrants who can contribute to developing businesses and labor in the US.

A call is made to the authorities to combat disinformation in migrants with the unification of response measures

In December of last year, some 170,000 people tried to enter the country irregularly.

Of these, 70,000 were single adult men who could be integrated into the US workforce to contribute to the growth of society and industrialization.

However, these 70,000 men do not fall into any group of asylum or refugee candidates, which prevents them from being treated properly.

For this reason, the call is for the government authorities to create a centralized plan that tells the authorities of the Customs and Border Protection Office how they should proceed in these situations.

In addition, this can help migrants who wish to arrive in the nation properly, knowing exactly how to proceed so that their entry is orderly and without legal problems.

Undoubtedly, everyone benefits from having a management system explained to the informants so that both parties know the process.
