Perla, 46, a Nicaraguan political dissident, has been living with her daughter and grandchildren in a squalid migrant tent camp in the Mexican border city of Matamoros for a year and half.
"It's been really difficult. You don't know what can happen to you here," she told CBS News in Spanish. "We try to make the most of it, but we have to deal with the rain, the sun and the bathrooms that are not clean."
For nine months, Angela, 24, and her family have been stranded in Reynosa, another Mexican border town and hotspot for turf wars between warring cartels. The Honduran mother crossed the U.S. border with her partner and toddler in March and had a baby girl at a hospital in McAllen, Texas, while in Border Patrol custody, according to medical records.
After her daughter's birth, Angela and her family were not allowed to stay in the U.S. Instead, they were expelled to Mexico without a court hearing under a pandemic-related measure authorized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last spring, according to lawyers.
"I can't return to Cuba," Jesús, 47, an asylum-seeker waiting in Matamoros for his U.S. court hearing, told CBS News in Spanish. "God willing, Biden's government will understand us."
Jesús said he fled Cuba in 2019 after being discriminated by the government there because of his identity as a gay man. He said he does not feel safe in Matamoros.
The Biden administration's continuation of Trump-era border policies, even if short-lived, has left thousands of asylum-seekers stranded in dangerous Mexican towns or facing swift expulsion to the countries they fled. Many are hopeful that their fortunes will change under a new U.S. administration — but it's unclear when and if that may happen.

Again, called it. No need to import voters and be beholden to them if you can just manufacture votes with the Supreme Court’s blessing.
Interesting take.
You also had some Texas border counties turning full-blown Republican for Trump.
Yup. Those they were letting in voted Republican.
Democrats now support border security
Hey Perla, here’s an idea: why don’t you take some responsibility for your own plight. Go home and leave us in peace.
I know these people are in Mexico but I thought Biden released all of the illegals being held within the U.S. Any idea how many that was?
And the Border Patrol can no longer use the term “Illegal Alien” in a report. I’d use “Unlawful Alien” just to piss them off.

He was supposed to make them citizens, by democrat standards not doing so makes Biden a hate-filled racist.
Yep. All the border counties went Trump. Cuellar ain’t no idiot. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-immigration-trump-border-policies/
We have turned some dem constituencies to pubs and need to finish running out the rinos.
We can also beat their electoral crap as we showed in Cali.
More, they don’t want a solution to the border problem.
Established and integrated people would vote against them.
No solution is more preferable.
Keep the holes in the wall and claiming victory is more important than any actual solution.
Trump was at least going to fix our dysfunctional immigration practices. That’s what they didn’t want.
That's a shame.
Pass the word on south.
CBS News paints mexican border towns are dangerous. If all of the border towns in Mexico are dangerous, why would biden stop building the wall? I wonder if these MSM outlets ever try to sync up their stories.....
There is still a need for cheap labor which is why the republican’s want open borders.
Those rules are staying in place because the military controls the border not Biden.
To the best of my knowledge and I’ve searched none of the detainees have been released so you tell me. Who’s controlling the border?
The second they cross the Mexican border bus them to D.C. every last one of them for years to come.
There’s more than enough already here.
The msm-crapola on illegals caravans of a few weeks ago are silent now. They are not penetrating the border. No news to “report”, and msm doesn’t want anybody else to focus on it.
With Navy task forces off both east and west coasts, you can bet your bippy there is DOD control on the land borders both North and South as well.
Yep, totally.
Sponging cockroaches. All they want is welfare. God God’s sake We The People have been subjected to this garbage for over thirty years now.
I HATE these people. They don’t give a damn about Americans and don’t give a wit to respecting OUR feelings on this.
