Asylumseekers. Norah Cbs Evening News begins now. s good evening, im norah odonnell, thank you for being with us. We do want to begin tonight with the dueling visit the southern border by the two front runners in this years election, showcasing the Record Number of migrant crossings that are overwhelming resources along the border and in major cities across the country. President biden was in brownsville, texas, where he issued a political day or to donald trump to join him and pressing House Republicans to help secure the border by passing the senates bipartisan security bill. Now, 325 miles away, trump was in eagle pass, where he took a much different approach, unleashing attacks on biden, democrats, and migrants, but not proposing a legislative solution. A record 2. 4 million migrants were apprehended at the u. S. Mexican border in 2023 and immigration has become the top issue for many voters heading into the 2024 election. Cbss ed okeefe is traveling with the president and he will start us off tonight from texas. Reporter the president and the former president who wants to replace him in the white house played the blame game today along the u. S. Mexico border. This is a biden invasion over the past three years. Reporter President Biden said it was donald trump who urged House Republicans to kill the bill that would have beefed up security at the border. Its time for the speakers and some of my republican friends in congress from blocking this bill to show a little spying. Reporter after a Record Number of Illegal Crossings last year, President Biden toured the border in brownsville, texas, is trying to show he is addressing the issue that more than 60 of voters call a very serious concern. Just hours before the president s arrival here in brownsville, u. S. Border patrol and Texas State Police say they stopped people on the other side of the border from bringing across drugs. Chris cabrera of the Border Patrol said that with Illegal Crossings into this part of texas down recently, the president has come too late. But i think the timing is a little off. I mean, if you have come a year ago, two years ago, three years ago. Reporter trump, visited eagle pass more than 300 miles away continued explaining a crisis that he could insult himt him back in the white house. Allies say he is Planning Mass Deportations and Detention Caps if elected. Today, he said to also connect President Biden to the recent murder of a georgia Nursing Student by Venezuelan Migrant who entered the country illegally in 2022. Speak with a monster charged in the death is an illegal Alien Migrant who was let into our country and released into our communities by crooked joe biden. Reporter the president , who didnt address trump the tax, said they should work together. Joined me, or ill join you, in telling the congress to pass this bipartisan porridge security bill. We can do it together. Reporter as president , trump severely restricted asylum and required migrants to await their Court Hearings in mexico. And President Biden took office, he reversed those policies but is now considering employing an Executive Power used by trump to suspend a silent. The former president also met with Texas Governor greg abbott today, who is at war with the Biden Administration over implement in his own Border Crackdown, installing National Guard troops and razor wire barriers in eagle pass. But we spoke to a local resident adam rodriguez, who says concerns there are overblown. We raised our kids here. You know, and there has never been any criminal element. You dont have to worry about walking down the street. Reporter notably, governor abbotts Border Crackdown suffered a legal setback just today, as a federal judge rejected a new texas law that would allow state police to arrest and prosecute people crossing the border illegally. Critics call it a form of racial profiling. The governor says he will appeal the case all the way to the u. S. Supreme court. Norah . Norah big issue, ed okeefe, thank you. While the two leading president ial candidates are focusing on the border crisis in texas, we have learned that migrant crossings are shifting towards california, which has seen a sharp increase in recent months. Cbss Adam Yamaguchi reports from along the the Southern Borr in the golden state. Reporter these are taking their first careless steps on the u. S. Oil as they navigate a Steep Rocky Maze across u. S. Others border. The last few minutes we have seen at least 50 or 60 people come down. Pretty rugged, punishing terrain here. They arrived by the dozens at this border cam, roughly 70 miles east of san diego. This entire region saw nearly 25,000 Illegal Crossings in january alone. From countries around the world. So this woman is from brazil. She just came down the ridge here. And she was expanding to me that she was in tijuana and got injured. She was essentially caught in cross fire between warring gangs and the police. Despite the dangers, many are now choosing routes to california rather than cost of the texas border. Its better than the other border. Reporter better meaning easier . Not easier. Nothing easy about this. Reporter we met up with abdel talebely and other migrants were bused to san diego and released after being processed by Border Patrol. Abdel talebely is from a mauritania in africa, he is seeg asylum after leaving behind a w, infant son come at nursing career. So right now, a lot of americans would say you shouldnt be here. They are right. This is their country. But i am just a guy looking for a safety and security. Reporter we followed talebely as he made his way to the san diego airport, and within hours, new york city. He is staying at this shelter. For now. Reporter i used to sleep there in my home next to my wife and my son and now i am sleeping next to a thousand men that i dont even know. Like a homeless person. Reporter this is the group of migrants that has come down from the mountains. In either the wall more this rugged, punishing terrain, is enough to stop the determination of these asylumseekers. This is what policymakers and border officials are up against. Norah eyeopening. Adam yamaguchi, thank you so much.

Reporter the injured were run to the few functioning hospitals in gaza city. Doctors told cbs news the majority of the dead were from Gunshot Wounds. Israeli tanks came out and then they opened fire, this man says. This is my brother, who went to bring food for his children. This latest violence also led to a grim milestone. The hamas run Ministry Of Health says more than 30,000 palestinians, mainly women and children, have been killed since the start of the war between israel and hamas. Thats about one in 70 people in gaza. Half a million of which are also facing acute starvation, according to the u. N. The pentagon now actively planning air drops of aid into gaza, which cant come soon enough.
