Migrants stuck at the U.S.-Mexico border say that President Joe Biden “promised” them they could enter the United States.

According to the New York Times, the newspaper witnessed numerous instances where migrants were turned away from the border and said “Biden promised us!” as they made their way back to Mexico.

Gladys Oneida Perez Cruz, who paid $9,000 to a coyote to get to the U.S. told the Times, “Biden promised us that everything was going to change. He hasn’t done it yet, but he is going to be a good president for migrants.”

Last week, Charlie Kirk.com reported that border apprehensions for the month of February were up 170 Percent from last year. 

Almost 100,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended last month, making it the highest February total since 2006. It marks a 26 percent jump from January’s apprehensions.

President Trump recently slammed Biden for his administration’s handling of the border crisis.

In a statement, the former president wrote, “When I was President, our Southern border was in great shape – stronger, safer, and more secure than ever before. We ended Catch-and-Release, shut down asylum fraud, and crippled the vicious smugglers, drug dealers, and human traffickers. The wall, despite horrendous Democrat delays, would have easily been finished by now, and is working magnificently. Our country is being destroyed at the Southern border, a terrible thing to see!”
