Home Countries: Border Arrests and Jose Gonzalez

home countries: Immigrants who are still coming say many people in their home countries are staying home amid fears about President Donald Trump's immigration rhetoric, putting off coming to the U.S. until they see how his policies play out, according to The Chronicle Herald. There are mothers who heard that Trump might change the law to remove parents and keep the children here, said Jose Gonzalez, a 29-year-old father of two from El Salvador. On a typical night last year, hundreds of immigrants might come through the church. That stopped a lot of people. Authorities caught 12,193 people at the southern border in March, the lowest monthly figure in at least 17 years and the second straight month that border arrests dropped sharply. The first months of the new administration have seen a huge drop in the number of people being caught by agents on the U.S.-Mexico border, raising the possibility that a Trump effect is keeping migrants away.
