Thousands of migrants have been making their way to the US border as the Title 42 immigration law changes.
In recent weeks, many migrants have been left stranded. Even those arrivals who are given court dates to claim asylum are made to wait, in some cases as long as four years.
His friend, Wilmer Romero, also from Venezuela, said:"I want to leave already because look at the situation we're in. "On the train, a lot of things happened to me and when I arrived , so I decided to turn myself in and I was detained for four days. I've been here for a month now because I didn't have the means to travel. It's been tough."They won't be allowed in if they arrive at the border without first applying online, or seeking asylum in a country they passed through to reach the United States.
Human rights groups have criticised the new rules, saying they wrongly assume safety for migrants in countries outside the US, and efficiency of an online application system that has proved unworkable for the vast majority.
