2:12Now PlayingThe U.S. isn’t the only country seeing record-shattering migration data as Mexico received far more asylum claims than ever before, a sign that U.S. border detentions may not fully capture the extent of a region-wide flow of people heading north.
Over the past 10 months, 108,195 foreigners have sought refuge in Mexico, Andres Ramirez, the director of the country’s refugee office, said on Twitter. That’s a 73% jump from the same period in 2019, the previous record high. It’s also 81% more than all asylum requests during the previous administration from 2013 to 2018.
