US border sees crush of migrants from Peru as end of Title 42 looms:

Political instability in Peru is prompting migrants from the country to flock to the US southern border — adding to the already chaotic situation there as the end of Title 42 looms, The Post has learned.

In the first six months this year, 8,262 Peruvians — who are rarely seen trying to enter the US illegally — have been apprehended at the southern crossing, according to data obtained by The Post.

That’s more than double the Peruvians who arrived at the border in 2021, when 3,197 immigrants from that country were intercepted by federal agents.

Historically, the amount of Peruvians arriving at the border has been even lower. Most immigrants entering the country illegally are from Mexico, Guatemala or Honduras.

Peru is dealing with political instability, widespread corruption, the highest inflation since 1998 and protests that may be driving illegal immigration to the US, says Peruvian activist Andres Urbano. --->READ MORE HERE

Political instability in Peru is prompting migrants from the country to flock to the US southern border, exacerbating the crisis at the already chaotic border. According to a report by the New York Post, the number of migrants arriving at the border from the Latin American country has almost doubled from what it was in 2021. As many as 8,262 Peruvians have been apprehended, since the start of this year, at the country’s southern crossing, according to US Border police data.

Unlike other central and southern American countries, Peru has never contributed to a large number of immigrants to the US. Historically, a majority of exodus came from Guatemala, Mexico and Honduras. However, a recent political crisis coupled with historic inflation and rampant corruption has pushed people to travel north according to reports. --->READ MORE HERE
