KEEP READING Panama FM: ‘Migration is the phenomenon of our time’ US immigration advocates urge swift evacuation of Afghans US: Nevada courtroom ruling may reshape US immigration coverage The numbers emerged amid rising strain on the administration of President Joe Biden over his dealing with of the rising variety of migrants fleeing political instability, poverty and local weather change making their approach to the US’s southern border with Mexico.
