Migrant families cross the border into Yuma

FOX 9's Adam Klepp took a look at Wednesday morning activity

YUMA, Ariz. (KECY, KYMA) - Large migrant groups continue crossing into Yuma every single day.

Most of the migrants Wednesday morning said they’re from Colombia, Cuba, or Peru.

With Title 42 expulsions reserved mainly for Mexicans and Central Americans, those migrants are likely still waiting in Mexico for their chance to cross into the United States and seek asylum.

Some migrants, however, were waiting to be apprehended for over five hours at the border, and one family huddled together to keep warm.

Emilio Ferrer, from Cuba, said he’s thankful to finally be in the U.S. after a treacherous journey.

“Getting here was dangerous. We had to cross rivers. It is difficult for many,” Ferrer said.

Ferrer arrived alone, but entire families often cross into Yuma.

As parents hope to make a better life if not for themselves, but for their children.

“There was too much violence in Colombia for us to live there as a family. I want to give my daughters a better life,” Friolando Castellano said.

Overall, the group is just a fraction of the over 300 thousand migrants that have crossed into Yuma this year.

A number that even the Biden Administration says will only get bigger if Title 42 ends.

The Supreme Court could decide on Title 42 by the end of the week.
