US to reopen border crossings as illegal immigration drops

The U.S. will reopen four legal U.S.-Mexico border crossings on Thursday as high levels of illegal immigration have receded and freed up personnel.
A senior U.S. official said, the U.S. will reopen an international bridge in Eagle Pass, Texas, two crossings in Arizona and another near San Diego, California.
U.S. border authorities struggled in December to process migrants as apprehensions reached nearly 11,000 in a single day, which several current and former officials said was near or at a record high.
Mexican and U.S. officials pledged last week to work together more closely to tackle record migration at their shared border after top U.S. officials traveled to Mexico to meet with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
