The flow of illegal migrants to the United States continues. The Mexican government detained 129 migrants of various nationalities who were traveling in the box of a cargo truck this weekend.
The National Institute of Migration of Mexico (INM) published a statement on Saturday June 17 informing that people from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and India were located on the night of June 16 in the state of Veracruz, as who provided help. 51 Guatemalan citizens were deported to their country, and another 19 minors were transferred to a special shelter. The other migrants were transferred to a migration station.
To avoid this phenomenon, the United States announced the opening of immigration offices in Central America. From here, it would be easier for people contemplating migrating to determine if they have a legal path to enter the United States and not have to put their lives in danger.
Cuban sociologist Ricardo Puerta told AFP that in this new system, only those who have opportunities “will be allowed to be classified” by the United States government, and those who do not “will continue to play with the coyotes for points.” blind”, as happened with the detention of migrants in the state of Veracruz.
This Monday, in Guatemala, the operation of a “Safe Mobility Point” began with the support of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), two UN agencies.
Currently, the flow of migrants from South America, mostly from Venezuela and Ecuador, increased through the Darién, the lush jungle that separates Colombia and Panama full of dangers such as mighty rivers, wild animals and criminal gangs.
“The record number of more than 100,000 people has been reached crossing the Darién (in 2023), six times more than those who arrived in the same period of 2022,” the UN warned in a statement.
