Asylum seekers arrive in Brownsville

BROWNSVILLE, Texas – The first group of Central Americans seeking asylum in the United States arrived Thursday in Brownsville after they were cleared to leave from the Mexican city of Matamoros just across the Rio Grande.

A total of 27 adults and children were processed by immigration officials at the Gateway International Bridge and taken to the Central Bus Station where each of them received a second Covid-19 test.

The arrival of the undocumented immigrants, most of which came from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, was described as a historic day for human rights and for the administration of President Joe Biden.

Some immigrants were extremely happy for having the chance to better their lives in this county.

They also said they left their countries for a variety of reasons, including gang violence, corrupt governments and lack of jobs.

Things will change with Biden, yet not overnight. They just entered a third world country that is now under new management. We became all that and more and it is going to take time to correct the damage.
