Joanna Williams, executive director of the Kino Border Initiative in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, speaks to KAWC s Victor Calderón. I can t think of a single migrant who s told me they ve come because of (President Joe) Biden, Williams said. It s just not the language people are using specifically.
Williams said the push factors for migrants has remained the same for years- poverty, gang violence and for some, natural disasters, such as hurricanes. The number of migrants coming to the U.S.-Mexico border in 2020 was down significantly, understandably due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
What I think we re seeing (now with more migrants) is a pent-up demand, Williams said. Pent up migration that would have been spread out over several months but instead is being a little more concentrated in this year.
