Thousands of people have crossed the border, mostly Haitians; all those who have crossed have been forced to sleep under the bridge in deplorable conditions, thus creating a growing humanitarian crisis.
The bridge connects with Texas and with the Acuña Metropolis of Mexico, which has a temporary camp that has seen an increase in the flow of people arriving there.
According to government data, the situation has been such that at the beginning of this year (2021), it was reported that the number of migrants detained at the border in the month of July exceeded 200,000 cases for the first time in 21 years.
The vast majority of those waiting are Haitian, Cuban, Venezuelan, and Nicaraguan migrants, forced to endure temperatures of 37°C and must return for supplies, even though the makeshift camp has few services to offer them.
Since the Biden administration took office, there have been major changes in immigration procedures, including the creation of a task force to reunite migrant children with their families, halting the construction of Trump's border wall, and reviewing immigration programs canceled by his predecessor.
