People: Deporting People and Mexican Border

people: The group of overseas migrants represents a tiny fraction of the more than 408,000 people caught crossing the Mexican border illegally in the last year, according to CTV. But the arrests suggest a rising trend in the number of migrants opting for a convoluted trek that sometimes wends across the seas to South America, over land to Central America and then through Mexico before arriving at the U.S. border illegally. The arrests of more than 8,000 people from India, China, Romania, Bangladesh and Nepal between October 2015 and the end of August is offering a new challenge to immigration agents tasked with fully identifying would-be immigrants and quickly deporting people caught crossing the border illegally. For decades Mexico dominated the discussion on illegal immigration as the country from which most immigrants went to the border illegally. India and China are now squarely among the top 10 countries of origin for people caught trying to sneak into the United States. But in recent years the number of Mexican nationals who have been trying to sneak into the United States has dropped. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
