Three months into the Department of Homeland Security’s program that requires asylum-seeking migrants wait in Mexico until their U.S. immigration hearings, observers said that the policy may actually be encouraging illegal border crossings.

Minutes before droping down on the U.S. side of the border barrier Thursday, a Honduran migrant raises his arm at Playas de Tijuana, Mexico.

“Why would I spend three years here in Tijuana when I could be in the United States?” asked Jeydi Fuentes López Montes, a 29-year-old mother from Honduras traveling with a 1-year-old child. “I know there is work here in Tijuana, but isn’t the work better over there?” Samuel Rodríguez Gúzman, from El Salvador, arrived in Tijuana last week. He said he went to the beach Thursday after hearing about more people successfully entering the U.S. illegally, and seeing on the news people getting through the border infrastructure at Playas.

This week and last, migrants have been climbing through holes in border fencing at Playas or climbing over the 15-foot-high fence. Border officials also arrested 23 people from Honduras and one from Guatemala on Tuesday after they scaled the fence near the beach.Then Thursday, activity at the border intensified as border agents and migrants clashed.

“Every arrest in San Diego Sector is investigated. Every breach in San Diego County is a concern whether it’s near Imperial Beach or in Jacumba,” DeSio said in a written statement. “Compromises in our fence are common due to our aging infrastructure. Efforts are made to repair breaches or compromises in a timely manner.”
