At the beginning of July, the Colegio de la Frontera Sur reported that between 20,000 and 30,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela and Colombia, mainly, are stranded in Tapachula. “The city has become a migratory funnel, where mobility is characterized by uncertainty” due to the delay in the procedures that have reached almost two years, published South Journal.
“Donald Trump’s policies have also reduced the size of migrant caravans, since many people have given up waiting. Trying to cross into the United States is no longer their priority and they seek to temporarily establish themselves in entities in the center of the country, such as Mexico City, Puebla or the State of Mexico,” added the Colegio de la Frontera Sur.
