Yeah, absolutely. I mean, the Biden administration has had a policy of determine, saying, you know, do not just cross the border and expect to get asylum. If we catch you crossing the border without papers, you will be deported in an expedited way, and there will be a harsher punishment.

And it's also encouraged people to use the CBP One app, in other words to apply for asylum online. I met so many migrants that their daily routine is basically wake up at 6:00 a.m. and try to get on that CBP One app so that they can do the asylum process.

I did also meet people that were completely deaf for it. And they didn't want to wait in Mexico because their lives were in danger because they had suffered exploitation or abuse or harassment or worse in Mexico. And they were just going to go for it and cross because they felt that their lives were in danger.
