Several African migrants who illegally crossed the US-Mexico border expressed gratitude to President Joe Biden, thanking him for the opportunity to work in the US. The migrants, from countries including Morocco and Liberia, admitted they were not seeking asylum and instead aimed to find employment and connect with family in various cities across the US. This comes amid a surge in undocumented migrants arriving at the border, with many expressing their desire for work and release upon entry into the country.
NEW: I asked some of the men who crossed illegally into Lukeville, AZ where they plan on going in the US? They named off cities all over America. None of the men we’ve talked to last few days say they are seeking asylum. All want to work or link w/ family, & they expect release. https://t.co/061ne0Wpt1
