Emergence of New Immigration Patterns

There is a growing concern over an increase in migrants from countries beyond Central America, particularly from regions such as India, Russia, and China. These individuals, previously able to enter the U.S. legally, are now resorting to illegal crossings due to a lack of legal pathways established during recent administrations. To counter this, the Biden administration has forged agreements with Mexican authorities to strengthen border controls, such as the rejection of third-party visas for aspiring migrants. This approach aims to disrupt the flow of illegal immigration by making it more difficult for individuals to travel through Mexico to the U.S.
