YUMA, Ariz. (AP) — As hundreds of migrants line up along an Arizona border wall around 4 a.m., agents try to separate them into groups by nationality.
“Anyone from Russia or Bangladesh? I need somebody else from Russia here,” an agent shouts and then says quietly, almost to himself, “These are Romanian.”
It’s a routine task for the Border Patrol in the wee hours in this flat expanse of desert where the wall ends. Migrants from at least 115 countries have been stopped here in the last year, but that may be less striking than what’s missing: Mexicans are virtually absent.
Instead, families from Venezuela, Colombia, Haiti, Cuba, Brazil, India and dozens of other countries arrive in Yuma after wading through the knee-deep Colorado River. Their presence reflects how a pandemic-era rule still shapes the journeys of many migrants, even though much of the U.S. has moved on from COVID-19.
The changing demographics mark a dramatic shift away from the recent past, when migrants were predominantly from Mexico and Central America’s Northern Triangle countries — Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
Migrants who are not from Mexico and the Northern Triangle accounted for 41% of stops on the border from October through July, up from only 12% three years earlier, according to government data.

We Americans will be climbing the fences trying to get into Mexico soon.
Kalifornians already are: An influx of Californians and other Americans has made its way to Mexico City, angering some locals who say they are gentrifying the area, according to a report.
Is there objective evidence that nobody is Mexican, or is this story based on what the respondents say when asked? After all, AP could just ask for the illegals COVID vax receipt, to see where that came from.
But the border is secure! /s
All the Mexicans who wanted to come here are ALREADY HERE.
The California exodus continues as residents head south of the border
That’s what I was thinking. That, and/or they know the good ways to get in such that they don’t get caught.
Wll if they’re from mexico and say so they’ll likely be sent back. If they say they’re from some other country than they are seen as “refugees”.
These people are already breaking the law pouring over the border - so lying about where they’re from and who they are is a piece of cake to do.
“Hey, we’re giving away a country for free here. Come on in and sign up for your freebies and mail-in ballots.”
Of course. What part of "undocumented" do we not understand?
But wait ... how did these non-Mexicans get to Mexico to cross unto US? All the way from Eastern Europe with no passport?
Bangladesh and Mexican look similar.
We need at least a year moratorium on all immigration or we're going to end up as an unassimilated boarding house for the Third World.
Gypsies are a scourge, almost impossible to get rid of. Centuries of inbreeding has created a vile parasite that can not live honestly, no matter what.
Gypsies are not Romanians, some idiots think that they are referred to as “Roma”, they are from Romania.
