Heavy rains and high temperatures have made the walk from Tapachula, Mexico, to Mexico City even more difficult. The more than 1,200-strong migrant caravan that intends to stay in Mexico due to the new stringent border policies under President Trump includes one Cuban national who says staying in Mexico is a privilege when compared to conditions in her native Cuba.
A Spanish-language report by Noticias Voz e Imagen de Chiapas (NVI) highlights the story of Estela Matus, one of hundreds of Cubans marching toward Mexico City. Despite the group’s realization that the welcome mat at the U.S./Mexico border laid by the Biden administration has been pulled, Matus told NVI that staying in Mexico is still a privilege {snip}
“Staying in Mexico, we feel privileged, it is not our fault that in Tapachula there is no work, but Cuba is ugly and there is much police abuse against Cubans, we can’t have a business because they take it away from us, only the government officials live well,” she told NVI.
Matus, like more than 1,200 others in the migrant caravan, is marching in protest of the slow-moving refugee and asylum process in Mexico. {snip}
