Crossings across U.S.-Mexico border and El Paso declines following Biden executive order, decrease felt at Annunciation House

Migrant crossings across the U.S.-Mexico border have declined over the past five months. The Biden Administration signed an executive order in June to limit migrant crossings and moderated the eligibility for migrants seeking asylum.

Biden issued the executive order after a bipartisan immigration bill failed in following pressure from former President Donald Trump not to pass the bill.

According to the Texas Tribune, during the month of June, migrants apprehended by federal authorities have decreased to 43% across border regions in Texas.

This trending decline has affected the El Paso border region according to the volunteer organization Annunciation House.
