 On September 25, scores of migrants courageously crossed the Rio Grande on foot in their pursuit of reaching the United States. Footage from Eagle Pass, Texas showed migrants, some of them traveling with children, walking through the violent river currents carrying their belongings. Some U.S. border patrol boats were also on scene. Thousands of migrants have crossed into the United States in recent days, from California to Texas, with many more still arriving by bus and cargo trains to Mexican border towns on the heels of record migration flows further south, the dramatic increase along the border, notably in San Diego, California, and the Texan cities of El Paso and Eagle Pass marks a turning point after numbers had plummeted in recent months and could create fresh political challenges for U.S. President Joe Biden heading into election season.
