More migrant adults and children are rushing over the U.S. border before Donald Trump becomes president.

Those who were captured spoke through tears about their attempt to gain access to the U.S.

Most came from Central America.

“The young children, especially, when they start turning 7 or 8, they force them to join gangs or if not, they kill them,” said a mother, holding her son tightly against her chest. “Si no, los matan,” if not they kill them,” said one mom. “I didn’t want that for my son.”

Apprehensions are on the rise. In October 2016, 46,000 migrants were apprehended, compared to about 26,000 in October 2o14.

The surge in October 2016 was the largest since a massive number of unaccompanied minors came to the U.S. during the summer of 2014.
