The United States said that the United States reopened two railway bridges connecting Texas and Mexico on the 22nd local time. The two railroad bridges were temporarily closed five days ago after a large number of illegal immigrants were found trying to climb onto freight trains to smuggle into the United States. The two countries plan to meet in the near future to discuss illegal immigration.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said that on the afternoon of the 22nd, the railway bridges in Eagle Pass and El Paso, Texas, resumed operations. The White House said the United States will operate two rail bridges around the clock in the coming days.
Customs and Border Protection announced in a statement on the 17th that the above-mentioned railway bridge was temporarily closed "in order to rearrange personnel and assist the U.S. Border Patrol in detaining illegal immigrants."
The statement said that the US side has recently noticed that criminal gangs use freight trains to organize illegal immigrants to smuggle people, and has taken additional measures to deal with it, including increasing the number of law enforcement agencies and cooperating with the Mexican side.
According to the Associated Press, the closure of the railroad bridge was widely opposed by U.S. and Mexican businesses.
In Mexico, illegal immigrants, mainly from Central and South American countries, often climb freight trains and hitchhike to Mexico's northern border cities, from where they try to cross the Mexican-American border into the United States. However, due to the congestion and poor ventilation of the carriages, the tragedy of illegal immigrants suffocating or even dehydration has occurred from time to time.
An internal report seen by Reuters shows that U.S. border managers arrested about 10,800 illegal immigrants at the southwest border on the 18th. Some incumbents and ex-service**s said the number was close to or reached the highest single-day high.
U.S. Border Patrol arrested 191113 people illegally crossing the border into the U.S. from Mexico in November, an average of 6,370 arrests per day, the fourth consecutive month of growth since July and a 1. increase from October, U.S. data showed2%。US reports show that the number of arrests surged in December, with the number of arrests exceeding 10,000 on some days.
Customs and Border Protection recently implemented measures to close a U.S.-Mexico border crossing in Arizona, a U.S.-Mexico border crossing in San Diego, California, and a vehicular border crossing in Eagle Pass. A number of border crossings remain fully or partially closed for the time being to redeploy personnel to deal with illegal immigration.
Mexico**Andrés Manuel López Obrador said on the 22nd that he was willing to help deal with the flow of migrants that led to the closure of border crossings between the United States and Mexico.
The U.S. side announced on the 21st that a high-level U.S. delegation will visit Mexico to negotiate on how to implement immigration policies at the border between the two countries.
