Irregular Senegalese migrants are among thousands of people released into the streets of Tucson, Arizona, after 2,000 of them crossed the US-Mexico border in 24 hours.

There is the drama of the Canary Islands. But Nicaragua’s path is also paved with uncertainties and drama. Migrants from Senegal are among thousands of people released into the streets of American border towns in the Southwest. Lately, federal processing centres have been filled to overcapacity due to the increase in irregular passengers, which is paralyzing the country. Faced with this situation, many of them were abandoned on the streets, particularly in Tucson, a city located in the state of Arizona. They come from African countries like Mauritania, Ghana and Sudan, and obviously from Senegal. They have been crossing the US border from Mexico in waves in recent months.

This year, US Customs and Border Protection services have seen an exponential influx of would-be immigrants. This year, nearly 2 million people have crossed the region – a figure that does not include arrivals seen in August and September. Cochise County, Arizona, is hit by the arrival of a wave of migrants transported by buses from other destinations after crossing the border.

Migrants transported by bus to New York, Chicago…
In San Diego, 20,000 migrants were arrested last week, 5,000 more than the reception capacity of dedicated establishments. They come from all over the world, not just Central and South American countries like Venezuela and Mexico. Migrants from China and other countries, as mentioned above, from Senegal, Ghana, Mauritania, among others…, and entered via the porous southern border. Overwhelmed by this situation, the governors of the Southern states, notably Texas and Florida, bused would-be immigrants to Northern cities, such as New York, Chicago and Washington DC. 

In New York, “we receive 10,000 migrants per month. Now, people from all over the world have decided to cross the southern part of the border and enter New York City,” assured the mayor of New York. Adams says it will “destroy” the city. These arrivals have caused a housing crisis, pushing the municipality to transform hundreds of hotels and schools into migrant shelters. For the mayor, it would cost New York $12 billion over the next three years, and he hopes for federal financial aid to deal with this unprecedented wave of migration. “Mayor Adams was proud to tout his status as a sanctuary city until Texas began busing migrants to New York to relieve our overrun and overwhelmed border communities,” said Andrew Mahaleris, press secretary to the Governor. of Texas, in a statement to Fox News. Today, they are forced to fend for themselves and face intense heat even though they have limited resources. In Senegal, the American dream goes through Nicaragua…, which has been one of the most “Googled” destinations in recent months.
