DHS Adds Brazilian Migrants To 'Remain In Mexico' Policy

The video discusses the 'remain in Mexico' policy, requiring migrants to wait in Mexico for their US immigration hearings. Brazilian migrants are now included under this policy, marking the first time non-Spanish speakers are affected. The number of Brazilian migrants at the US-Mexico border has tripled in the past year. While officials claim the policy is helpful, critics argue it endangers asylum seekers, exposing them to violence. Currently, around 60,000 migrants are waiting in Mexico, with the policy in place for a year.
