TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Paul HANDLEY, "On Texas border, a new migrant rush inspired by Joe Biden"
Three-year-old migrant, Wuermer Ventura Carillo, and his mother, Febe Carillo-Ramos, 29, wait for a bus at a bus station near the Gateway International Bridge, between the cities of Brownsville, Texas, and Matamoros, Mexico, on March 14, 2021, in Brownsville, Texas. - In a gusty, open-air bus depot in Brownsville, Texas, Febe Carillo-Ramos, 29, speaks easily after a 1,000 mile (1,600 kilometer) overland journey from her home in Guatemala: for the first time in 20 days on the road, she can now move without worry. Her three-year-old son Wuermer on her lap, she shows a document given to her the day before by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) that allows them to travel to Houston where her husband is, to settle and work, without immediate threat of deportation. "They told me that with these papers I can go anywhere," she says. (Photo by CHANDAN KHANNA / AFP)
