1.39 million immigrants from 177 countries entered US through Mexico from January to May, Mexican officials said
Nearly 1.4 million undocumented immigrants from a staggering 177 countries traveled through Mexico to the United States from January to May, according to Mexico’s National Institute of Migration.
Surges of illegal immigration “over brief periods of time” have happened in the past, said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, but this “huge variety” of countries is unprecedented.
Considering there are 193 member states in the United Nations, nearly the entire world is taking advantage of the president’s “open invite,” he said.
“There were always a few exotics, that’s kind of my term. They call them OTMs, other than Mexicans, because there were so few of them that they lumped them all together,” Krikorian told Fox News Digital. But President Biden “essentially invited mass illegal immigration by letting people get across the border, and word spreads, so you’re getting people from everywhere.”
