'Many more will come, and many more are already on the way' - Migrants reflect on new US border policy
Migrant from Venezuela commented on the new US border policies as he was at border crossing in Ciudad Juarez.
"Many more will come, and many more are already on the way. We know it, because the crisis we are going through is not only Venezuela, Honduras, Guatemala, Cuba, they already know," said Joandry Roman.
On Thursday, Joe Biden's administration announced a new immigration plan allowing legal entry to the US for thousands of people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. Citizens of these countries will be able to apply for a two-year work permit following controls and legal entry by air.
