For months, migrants have been traveling toward the United States with the hope of seeking a better life. Normally people can present themselves at the U.S. point of entry to request asylum if they’re fleeing from danger. Then they go through a process of having their case heard to see if it’s legitimate. However, current U.S. laws make it nearly impossible for migrants to seek asylum – leaving them stuck at the border.
"We spent three days recording the complex situation of the migrants who continue to arrive in Tijuana, on the border with the United States, to try to enter the United States, exchanging their Latin American nightmare for an American dream that seems more distant every day", said Juan Carlos Aguirre Romero, author of the video.
