SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Brian Nichols was invited to speak at the University of California at San Diego’s Institute of the Americas, where the current wave of immigration was brought up almost immediately on Tuesday night.
“These are unprecedented times, never in human history have we had so many migrants on the move as we do right now,” said Nichols. “Some 28 million migrants in our hemisphere are moving for a variety of reasons. Whether it’s a lack of liberty, economic privation, climate factors, we can do many things with enforcement, with legal pathways, with addressing the root causes of migration in our hemisphere.”

Nichols also discussed a recent trip to Mexico and other countries in Latin America where possible solutions were considered.
