Biden's border crisis goes global with more apprehensions from faraway countries

As the crisis at the southern border moves into its second year, more foreign nationals continue to attempt to take advantage of what is perceived to be a porous situation and higher chances of being allowed into the United States -- with more coming from distant countries.

But while the majority of migrants are still coming from Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, a growing number are coming from further away. Nearly 45% of all migrants (79,678) came from countries other than Mexico and the Northern Triangle.
