More of300 migrants crossed the borderAmerican this Wednesday morning in the city of Yuma, located in southwestern Arizona.

According to information offered by the Border Patrol, the majority of immigrants are fromCuba, Colombia and Peru, as noted on Twitter by independent journalist Ali Bradley.

A similar number entered through another point in that territory this Tuesday and surrendered to the authorities.

However, it was a different place than usual, the reporter said, adding that the officers do not know the reasons for the change in the crossing point, since the Mexican cartels are the ones who control where the entry is made.

In the videos shared these two days by Bradley, you can see a long line of men, women and small children - some of them carried in their arms - waiting for the arrival of the border patrols to be transferred to the respective detention centers.
