The article depicts a harrowing moment for migrants trying to cross from Mexico to the U.S. following President Trump's executive decisions that effectively closed the border to asylum seekers. In a scene of panic and urgency, a young girl hesitated before climbing a makeshift ladder while others assisted with the crossing. Amidst this chaos, an injured woman was seen wailing in pain. These acts illustrate the desperation driving individuals, like Carlos Porras from Peru, to risk their lives to immigrate out of sheer necessity, revealing complex human emotions in the face of governmental actions.
We do this out of need, not because we want to, and that is it, said Carlos Porras, 39, from Peru, speaking through the fence bars.
Hurry up, hurry, keep moving! shouted two men standing at the bottom of the ladder.
One woman fell to the ground on her way down and lay wailing in pain and grabbing her leg.
The scene revealed the desperation of migrants who on Monday learned that the border was now effectively closed.
