And for those who reach the Mexican border city of Tijuana, the way forward is uncertain. U.S. officials have implemented a system of \u201cmetering\u201d, which limits how many can seek asylum in Tijuana.<\/p>\n<p>Some migrants scramble over the border to avoid a months-long wait, handing themselves in to authorities in the hope they will be released.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInLeft&#8221;]Born in Thessaloniki, Greece in 1984 Alkis Konstantinidis began his career as a freelance photojournalist in 2009.
