U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that June saw the lowest number of migrant crossings at the Southwest border since February 2021.
"I think the Biden administration has applied a range of different policies that include both carrots and sticks for migrants," Earl Anthony Wayne, a former ambassador to Mexico , a professor and co-chair of the board of the Mexico Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center, and a diplomat in residence at American University, told"This had the effect of slowing people down from coming through Mexico to the border that has encouraged people to not try to cross illegally," he said.
The Mexican government has been cooperating in encouraging migrants to go away from the border, Wayne said. "And then the U.S. has continued to try to have momentum to follow up on efforts to build regional cooperation, which it's all part of the same broader policy," he added."I think that this combination of carrots and sticks has significantly reduced the numbers of people trying to cross irregularly, in the short term."
