Large groups of migrants for the last few weeks seeking asylum to the United States from a variety of shelters and in the Chaparral “La Esperanza” border camp in Tijuana, Mexico have been given the green light to cross into the U.S. to have their court cases reviewed. Helping with these cases are multiple migrant activists and immigration lawyers that have handpicked these groups of asylum seekers that may have a chance in a U.S. court, which could grant the migrants a chance or even a second one into asylum programs that were once dismissed or denied under a Trump Administration policy that forced them to wait in Mexico for court hearings. The Biden Administration through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Tuesday that these asylum seekers may return for another chance at humanitarian protection which under that criteria, it is unclear how many people will be eligible to be released into the country pending on decisions made in a case-by-case bases. It is a move that could benefit tens of thousands of migrant hopefuls which have been waiting for months and even years in Mexico with no recourse or set plans. — Throughout the morning and in the afternoon many families and individuals were waiting their turn to cross the San Ysidro Port of Entry pedestrian entrance into San Diego, California from the Tijuana side on Thursday, June 24, 2021.

#WorldRefugeesDay: Portrait of an Afghan refugee man at Calais Jungle refugee camp, France. Afghanistan, #Syria, #Somalia, #SouthSudan and #Myanmar account for less than 2% of world population, but 68% of the global refugee density. In the other hand, these countries driving the bulk of the world’s refugee crisis by consisting 57% of asylum seekers leaving their homelands and coming to Europe and neighboring countries. According to the recent statements on refugees, two thirds of them are coming from the five above countries, 6.3 million from Syria, 2.6 million from Afghanistan (72% are children), 2.4 million from South Sudan, 1.4 million from Myanmar and 986k from Somalia as a result of on going war, conflicts and importantly human right flaws. Afghanistan as an origin country, notches on top of the most asylum seeker countries recently, comparing to its second place after Syria a year ago.

“Hope” is what many migrants have to be able to cross to the United States, as they protested, waited and slept at the busiest international crossing between the U.S. and Mexico’s border in Tijuana-San Diego on Friday, April 23, 2021.

Along the Mexican side of the U.S.-Mexico border dividing the cities of Tijuana and San Diego, construction workers could be seen welding and nailing down new reinforcement fences that fell off a section of a brick wall along the border on Friday, November 27, 2020. The added fence reinforcement has been going on now for weeks along parts of the Tijuana side of the border and still has ways to go until they complete the work on every section of the wall. One of those Mexican construction workers working on the fence is a Haitian man named Cono, 27, a recent immigrant himself from Haiti, who came during the wave of Haitian refugees looking to migrate to the United States back in 2016. Cono decided to stay in Tijuana after he could not migrate to the U.S and has been working in construction since his arrival five years ago to the city. — #tijuana #tijuanamexico #tijuanalife #haiti #haitiano #migrantes #migration #usmexicoborder #nightphotography #shortclips #video #photojournalism #environmentalportrait #fotoperiodismo #documentaryphotography #everydaymexico #everydaylatinamerica #everydayeverywhere #everydaylafrontera #everydayrefugees #everydayhaiti #everydaymigration #everydayusa #edca #reportagespotlight #myfeatureshoot #nikonz6 #everydaysocialjustice (at San Diego Tijuana Border) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIKMQnmlQYA/?igshid=llqyozybspvs

As the coronavirus crisis continues to affect the world’s populations, no class or group is untouched by its devastating risk, including those migrants waiting at the U.S-Mexico border, health experts warn. Thousands of asylum seekers crammed in border towns like in Tijuana, Mexico, awaiting U.S. immigration hearings are at risk of dying from coronavirus because of poor health access and unsafe conditions. Most of those waiting are children and teenagers with their parents or unaccompanied. Those that have been processed and now in federal detention facilities in the United States could also be in danger of contracting the virus. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE), currently holds about 3,300 minors at three detention camps with their parents. Last week, the Office of Refugee Resettlement said it had halted all placements of unaccompanied children in California, New York and Washington state, where there have been large outbreaks of COVID-19, with reports of several staff at the shelters of migrant kids diagnosed with the virus. — File photos taken through the years of migrant minors in shelter camps and at the U.S.-Mexico border in Tijuana, Mexico. — #migrants #migrantchildren #MPP #usmexicoborder #archive #tijuana #tijuanamexico #migrantshelters #mexico #photojournalism #fotoperiodismo #blackwhitephotos #documentaryphotography #reportagespotlight #everydaymigration #everydaycovid19 #everydaycoronavirus #everydayeverywhere #everydaysocialjustice #everydayrefugees #everydaymexico #everydayusa #edca #everydaylatinamerica #frontera #everydaylafrontera #healthcrisis #portraitphotography #potrait #environmentalportrait (at US/Mexico Border) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-VIaYRl5lc/?igshid=1g1imsifj0364

Kids having a beach day on both sides of the US-Mexico border along Playas de Tijuana and Imperial Beach, California on Saturday, March 30, 2019. New metal adjustments have been recently added (plus more barbwire on the US side) to the fence that goes along the Pacific Ocean, stretching out through the Tijuana-San Diego area, by border officials to keep migrants from both slipping under and over to the other side of the beach. A spike in number of crossings has occurred in the last month of February in the area due to what critics say is a direct correlation to the new “Remain in Mexico” policy that the Trump Administration implemented in January with Tijuana being ground zero as a test to that policy not working and leaving migrants waiting to be processed once again after weeks and months of waiting prior in Mexico the first time around. — #documentaryphotography #everydaylatinamerica #everydayeverywhere #everydaymexico #usmexicoborder #playasdetijuana #tijuana #tijuanamexico #imperialbeach #sandiego #frontera #fronterizo #photojournalism #fotoperiodismo #mexico #migrantcaravan #everydaymigration #everydaylafrontera #everydayrefugees #everydaysocialjustice #dailylife #streetphotography #dailymexico #thewall #edca #reportagespotlight #myfeatureshoot (at Muro Fronterizo En Playas De Tijuana) https://www.instagram.com/carlosamoreno86/p/BvsM0EyglE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16rso1t3qx5gn
