Is there an extra rush to cross the border before ?

Question

Are more hoping to get Amnesty? Do the people know it might be tougher soon, so some are in a hurry to come across before it does?
Just wondering-

Answer 1

I saw some accounts saying that was the case a couple of weeks back. People picked up said they were 'coming for the amnesty' and knew the guard was going to the border. However, there will probably be some diminishing effect when the border patrol is really there, until they figure their next move.

Meanwhile, I read in another article that coyote fees have gone up by 50%.

Answer 2

Yes...there is a rush to TRY but they are not successful. There is a growing number of potential illegals in Mexican border towns. Here in AZ illegal immigration is down over 20% already.

Answer 3

Probably, but just because they can't read English. If they'd read the proposal or the bill, they'd realize that a whole bunch are going to be sent back if the can't document time lived here.

Just another reason they need to learn English.

Answer 4

not really. coyotes r charging more & its more dangerous. plus the amnesty bill says u have 2 prove u were here 4 at least more than 2 yrs if not ur SOL.

Answer 5

Yes.....

AND to add more (cuz I always do)......If you were wanting to flee and knew that in 2 weeks there would be no way to FLY......wouldn't you step up the trip. The question is a no-brainer!!!!!!

oh and amnesty or not....if someone tells me there are going to be 3,000 reasons (NG troops) halting my passage.......AGAIN.....I am leaving within the hour.

Peace

Answer 6

I read a recent article that suggests more people aren't going to cross because they are afraid of our military. God, I love our military.

Answer 7

You may be right, I hope not, I hope most if not all are arrested and deport back to mexico as criminals!

Answer 8

yes, i've seen the news reports.

Answer 9

I think there is.
