Migrants from across the hemisphere are increasingly crossing the border in a remote corner of South Texas. The shift has big implications for border towns like Eagle Pass — and the entire country.

"My trip was organized and planned by Google, practically, not me," Albornoz said in Spanish, laughing. This new wave of migrants is coming largely from Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua. That's significant because these migrants generally cannot be expelled under the pandemic border restrictions known as Title 42. And immigration authorities are mostly releasing them into the United States, where they can seek asylum.in the Del Rio sector, which includes Eagle Pass — tens of thousands more than in traditional migration corridors like the Rio Grande Valley and El Paso.
There are showers, and a kitchen handing out free sandwiches. There's also a counter where migrants can buy a bus ticket to San Antonio, and catch another bus or a plane to wherever they're going. The majority of these migrants are young men, but some are older. There are a few families here, too. Some of the migrants who pass through Mission: Border Hope choose to take the buses to New York and Chicago and Washington, D.C., paid for by the state of Texas. Very few stay at the border for more than a day or two.
Migrants who seek asylum can apply for work permits after six months. They cannot work legally until those permits are issued, though many do find employment more quickly. As the sun went down, Valderrama drove his ATV to a spot on the banks of the river where big groups of migrants have recently crossed.
"Unless you have people responding and out here working, it's just a visual effect. It's not deterring anybody," he said. "I see why they're coming over. If the doors are open, the welcome flag is up," he said."If I was from that side, I'd do the same thing."
