Tecun Uman, GUATEMALA - Hundreds of Central Americans trying to reach the United States were stuck at the Mexico-Guatemala border on Wednesday after the Mexican government beefed up security to meet U.S. demands to contain migrant flows.
Under sustained pressure from President Donald Trump, Mexico’s government has adopted tougher measures to reduce the number of people heading towards the U.S. border.“We thought we’d be allowed through just like with the October caravan when they reached Tijuana,” said Honduran migrant Ritzy Anabel, who did not give her surname.
Many Central Americans migrants heading north are fleeing economic hardship and violence at home. A large caravan of migrants crossed into Mexico and went north in October 2018. Migrants crossing into Mexico earlier this week faced tear gas from security forces, who delivered a firmer response than in previous mass movements at the border.
On Wednesday, Mexican authorities said that 460 Honduran migrants were deported throughout the day. Other migrants from the group, including families traveling with children, were pondering their next moves.
Neither does America
Oh these poor poor people. Please God help them
If you are TRULY seeking asylum from your country of origin, you don’t get to cherry-pick which country would be acceptable. You flee, and accept the first place that is not your own. Otherwise you request to emigrate, and wait, like anybody else.
Porque eles não melhoram as condições de seus proprios países OnU e demais órgãos mundiais deveriam dar puxão de orelhas nós líderes e legisladores destes países caso contrário todos irão pra UE e USA
😢 Please, God, Please Help Them.
Thank you Mexico
