Migrants cross the Usumacinta River on boats from Guatemala, to Frontera Corozal, Chiapas state, Mexico, Wednesday, March 24, 2021.
Their reasons for heading north are familiar: violence, an inability to support their families, the devastation wrought by two major hurricanes in November and egged on by rampant misinformation. The family left Honduras after Ponce’s husband lost his construction job and was unable to find another. They left two older children with relatives.
Within an hour there were more than 100 migrants at the river’s edge. They were mostly from Honduras, many women with children barely old enough to walk. Much of that traffic becomes clandestine in Mexico as smugglers pack migrants into semi-trailers and vans or put them on buses or airplanes with fake documents. Often they only reappear at the U.S. border.
“They want to pretend they are doing operations, for the press,” Sop Xivir said. “In practice there isn’t much control.” The traffic had slowed significantly in 2020 due to the pandemic, but now it’s like early 2019 all over again, she said. “A few days ago, in a half-hour ... we saw hundreds walking along a mountain path.”
Stay in Mexico the cost of living is cheaper and they won’t force your kids to go to war for oil
Yup, it's a crisis.
Crisis biden fault
elainaplott Since we've sacrificed 600K + Americans, we need a refill.
Drugs, migrants, pinatas ... Where would the United States be without Mexico! 🌮😃🌯
And yet the AP is forbidden to call it a “crisis.”
How about the from moron Biden created crises or better disaster on our southern boarder?
So are we still pretending that the border is protected by walls/barriers that cover 650 miles of 2000 miles of land, and somehow illegal immigration is the fault of Trump/Biden?
Cut funding to Mexico!!
So all that Wall building was pointless...
Oh. Biden’s immigration plan of ‘don’t come’ isn’t working?
They need to send Kangaroo Cruz and his camera crew down there! (They'll film it in someone's back yard again)
I mean, really... Why would México want to spend a lot of money and resources to stop migrants heading to the US anyway? We created the mess in Central America. It's OUR responsibility to clean it up.
unbelievable
too late Biden was in a hurry to issue exec orders to cancel Trump era so now the flood gate is opened His own grand gesture is getting him in deep shit
Biden change is “hold in Mexico” policy has created a humanitarian crisis on the southern border
It is the Obedience to the words of JESUS that will matter on that day. THE ONE WHO PROPHESIED CORONAVIRUS ON DECEMBER 1ST, 2015 AND RAVAGING LOCUSTS PLAGUE LIVE ON JESUS IS LORD RADIO-05.02.2021 FridayVigilForAll
Can we talk about something that matters to most people? I get why the media keepa wanting to push this stuff to get clicks but it's pathetic...stop trying to get insecure people riled up
You mean Joe lied when he said the boarder is closed? Say it ain't so Joe.
Mexico stopped the crossings when Trump was in office, but since Trump left office, they are no longer stopping people. I wonder why?
Biden is directly responsible for the border crisis but instead of taking responsibility for it he passes the buck to Harris...who laughed at it. That's your president and vice president. BidenBorderCrisis NotMyPresident
Trump didn’t have any concern about hiring them at his properties.
Does that mean Republicans want alligator and snakes as their solution?
Joe invited them in, they are on the way!
It’s still illegal !! The media and this fraudulent regime have forgotten that!
