"It is worrisome because suddenly that opportunity could be gone. It is a hope, it is a door that can close so we really don’t know. I don’t know much about politics and to say who I want to win, I don’t know. I can say that I hope God willing the best wins and that it can be a blessing for many people who need this opportunity."

"There are concerns, very grave concerns, about limiting access to asylum, putting more pressure on the asylum space and the asylum process, where people who aren’t asylum seekers are going to use the same channels, and that means you are just creating a bigger backlog and a bigger number of people trying to use the same process, get through the same door."

STORYLINE:
On the riverbanks of Ciudad Juárez, there are no migrants in sight, but evidence of previous crossings still litters the ground and discarded clothes are entangled in razor wire by the wall.
Migrants are no longer sleeping overnight in large numbers on downtown streets either.
It’s a return to relative calm after an unprecedented surge of immigrants across the U.S. southern border in recent years.
As Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump make their final campaign push in elections that will come to an end in a matter of hours, migrants in Mexico are holding their breath.
“It’s a hope, a door that can be closed,” said Malby Peña, a migrant from Venezuela. “God willing the best wins.”
In the early hours of Monday, a short line of migrants from all over Latin America, papers in hand, waited to cross the border to El Paso, Texas and attend their long-awaited CBP One appointment.
It was a scene that surely contrasts with the images months earlier of migrants trying to break through or crawling under the razor wire.
