On the border with Mexico, migrants continue their efforts to cross into the United States despite the giant orange pontoons placed by the governor of Texas on the Rio Grande River that divides the border.
Despite the steel wires installed on the border of Texas, which has a 1,930-kilometer border with Mexico, hundreds of Central American immigrants, mostly Venezuelans, arrive on the banks of the Rio Grande in search of political asylum.
Paola, a 20-year-old Venezuelan immigrant, rests on the banks of the Rio Grande while searching for an entry point into the United States from Mexico.
Over the past 10 years, tens of thousands of Central Americans fleeing poverty and violence have entered the United States from South Texas and requested asylum.
The humanitarian crisis and the refugee situation on the border between the United States and Mexico worsens day by day.
The immigrants say they came here because they had no other options, even though they knew they would be deported after an expensive, difficult and dangerous journey.
