U.S. border officials predict the number of migrants attempting to cross the southern border could reach as high as 1 million this year.
The 1 million estimate reflects a complex humanitarian crisis at the border and political headache for President Donald Trump, who staked his candidacy on curbing migration to the U.S. But it wouldn't be a record high.trying to cross illegally between ports. That figure, however, does not include the number of undocumented migrants arriving at ports, referred to by the government as "inadmissible." Most of those people are there to claim asylum.
Still, officials say the arrivals are no longer men from Mexico looking for work, but rather families fleeing poverty and violence in Central America. That complicates how border authorities have operated, now having to care for children. Migrants are seen lined up in El Paso, Texas, on March 23, 2019, after crossing the international border between the United States and Mexico and surrendering to a border patrol agent.
