From 2012 to 2022, Mexico's detention of migrants has increased by 411%. In 2022, there were approximately 450,000 migrants in state custody.

All this stems from Mexico's steadfast adoption of the U.S.'s anti-immigrant policies and its agreement to act as an extension of the U.S. border.

US officials are warning of the ramifications at the southern border with #Mexico starting Friday after the expiration of a pandemic-era #Title42 policy that kept out many asylum-seekers. As I explain in my VOA radio report authorities are bracing for what they expect will be a tremendous strain on personnel and facilities from a surge of migrants crossing the border.

((TEXT)) 
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, on the White House briefing room podium just hours before the lifting of a policy that blocked migrants from entering the country during the coronavirus pandemic, made a direct appeal to those thinking of or already heading north.  
 
((MAYORKAS ACT))  
 
“Do not risk your life and your life savings only to be removed from the United States if and when you arrive here.”  [[:08]] 

((END ACT))
 
Mayorkas added that migrant families who fail asylum screening under the new regulations will generally be removed within 30 days.  
 
The Biden administration faces criticism from both the political left — which says the government is now taking too harsh an approach to migration — and conservatives, who predict overwhelmed and unprepared U.S. officials will resort to a mass release of migrants.

Shanahan got a Fulbright Research Award to study organic honey beekeeping practices in Chiapas, Mexico, after she graduated from college. There, she encountered experts stewarding the many species of wild, stingless bees — native bees that often rely on propolis as a primary defense mechanism in lieu of a stinger. (/3)

Happy #cincodemayo! Did you know that flying under the radar of the United States National Highway System is a parallel transport network of the humble honey bee?

Every February, hundreds of thousands of domesticated honey bee colonies are shuttled on flatbed trucks from the Northern Great Plains to California. After the bees pollinate key crops like almonds, they get sent back up North to access high-quality forage for the summer.

The Biden administration is sending additional troops to the border with #Mexico starting as soon as May 10th. As detailed here in my VOA News radio report the decision comes as the government ends #coronavirus-era pandemic restrictions, known as Title 42, that allowed for the rapid removal of migrants at the border.   

((TEXT)) Anticipating that the end of pandemic policies on May 11th will prompt a surge of migrants seeking to enter the United States at the southwest border, officials in Washington announced Tuesday an additional active-duty 1,500 troops will be sent to augment the 2,500 National Guard members providing border protection support.  

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says the action allows Border Patrol and Customs officers to focus on law enforcement, while the troops do administrative tasks.  
 
((KJP ACT))  
 
“They will not be performing law enforcement functions or interacting with immigrants or migrants.” [[:06]] 
 
((END ACT))  
 
The Pentagon’s spokesman, Air Force Brigadier General Pat Ryder, says it would take time to call up reserve forces and National Guard for this assignment, so active-duty troops will be sent for now.  
 
 ((RYDER ACT)) 
 
“These forces will come from the Army and the U.S. Marine Corps.” [[:03]] 
 
((END ACT))  
 
The deployment is expected to last 90 days.
