"Immigration Policy Reduces Perilous Treks, Yet Border Crossings Persist"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by ABC News
The U.S. government's new migration program, aimed at providing a legal pathway for refugees and reducing dangerous journeys to the U.S.-Mexico border, has seen early successes with families like the Llanos from Venezuela. The program, which involves collaboration with the U.N., streamlines the refugee process, allowing migrants to avoid perilous crossings and enter the U.S. legally. Despite the program's benefits, border crossings persist, and the initiative faces challenges such as limited awareness and eligibility restrictions. While the program has been praised as a step in the right direction, it is not a comprehensive solution to the broader issue of displacement in the Western Hemisphere.
