Unable to apply for asylum, migrants are forced to make a decision: try to cross again or give up

A Mexican family of five who arrived in El Paso, US, on Tuesday from Mexico’s Juarez to seek asylum in the US filed an asylum claim on Tuesday. The family, which includes two 5-year-old children, their father and a 16-year-old brother, plans to stay in Mexico for an indefinite period. US President Joe Biden enacted an executive action to crack down on illegal crossings.
