Tijuana, Mar 17 (EFE).- Tension, desperation and uncertainty can be felt along the US-Mexico border due to the increase in migrants and the new immigration policies of the Joe Biden administration, which on Wednesday denied that there is any "crisis."In Tijuana, the largest Mexican city along the border, confusion reigns at a camp of 1,500 migrants from Honduras, El Salvador, Cuba, Haiti and Africa, including 350 children, who are waiting to cross the border into the US.The migrants have complained that they do not have any sanitary facilities in their tents or leisure spaces and that there is less oversight by the city's Municipal Police.

Also heading to the border is Republican former president Donald Trump, who will be about 300 miles (480 kilometers) to the west in Eagle Pass. The Texas showdown comes at a time when record numbers of migrant crossings into the United States are posing a threat to Biden's chances of preventing a Trump comeback in November's presidential election.

Thousands of migrants -- mainly Iraqi Kurds -- have spent months trying to get into the European Union from Belarus. The crisis escalated earlier this month with around 2,000 setting up a makeshift camp on the border in freezing conditions. IMAGES
