Migrants explain how Tiktok helps travelers cross the Mexican border

President Biden weighs invoking an executive action to crack down on migrants seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border as a steady stream of migrants was seen pouring into the United States through a hole in the border wall in East County San Diego. According to Customs and Border Protection, in January CBP encountered more than 242,500 thousand migrants all across the country. That’s down from nearly 371,000 in December 2023. More than 300,000 of those encounters in January crossed the border in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California - otherwise known as the Southwest Sector. “Everybody knows that Mexico is dangerous but for a better lifestyle, it’s worth it,” shared one man seeking asylum in the US from Nicaragua. He says he found the way to get here online on TikTok.

@Indigo558

Why don't Tictac take them in and support them, I don't understand why they have so much compassion for criminals but none for the homeless.

@sdhscrosscountry

Close the borders

@subterranea9095

does tiktok also explain why birth certificates are technically illegal in the usa and why united states ports of entry should not be demanding that travellers need to agree to work against the united states or go around the ports, because they wont let natural born citizens through anymore? natural born citizens should not be treated like second class citizens by birth certificate users.
