Ghanaian among illegal migrants entering US via southern border

In the video available to GhanaWeb, US border officials are seen allowing the migrants enter through giant iron gates in batches.

As the gates are shut for a particular batch, the Fox News reporter is heard saying: “Every person who is just let through appears to be a single adult male…I don’t know if they are all with the same group, let me try to ask.”

He goes close to them and asks for their nationality in Spanish.

After posing his question, a young man wearing a face mask, as all of them are, responds: “Ghana, Ghana.”

“You are from Ghana,” the reporter reiterates and he nods in the affirmative. He is wearing a black sleeveless Adidas top with a black bag behind him.

The reporter goes on to ask the other migrants, Haitians, predominantly why they decided to ‘force’ their way into the United States.

Illegal migration is a big deal on the southern borders of the country especially with Mexico. It led to the infamous border wall that former president Donald Trump started building to keep the migrants away.
