Fox News
Afghans fleeing the Taliban and unable to enter the U.S. have resorted to journeying through South and Central America to reach the U.S.-Mexico border.
The stark jump in Afghans illegally crossing the border to claim asylum jumped by 30% from the previous year following the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the subsequent Taliban takeover. Caitlin McFall is a Reporter at Fox News Digital covering Politics, U.S. and World news.
Fox News Digital could not immediately reach the State Department for comment, but according to Reuters, the department said it is working to speed up the visa process for "the brave Afghans who stood side-by-side with the United States over the past two decades."
