Migrants in need: return instead of hope at the US limit!

Tijuana, Mexiko - The immigration crisis in Central America escalates in view of the new, strict guidelines of US President Donald Trump. Numerous migrants from Venezuela desperately look for their way back to their homeland after wanting to cross the border between Costa Rica and Panama illegally on Tuesday. The border authority Senafront reported on a group of around 200 migrants who were stopped by the police due to a crowd and were initially sent back to Costa Rica. Panama's procedure aims to arrange the return of migrants in an orderly and secure manner, as the Ministry of Security explained while at the same time strengthening coordination with Costa Rica.

strict measures at the US limit

Trump pursues a rigorous course against migrants who illegally enter the United States or are there without a valid residence status. Several ministries have been instructed to support this goal, which led to the border with Mexico to send additional US soldiers. Discharged migrants are returned directly to their home countries, which leads to sharp criticism of civil rights activists and human rights activists who brand the new guidelines as inhuman. In the meantime, the refugee number in Tijuana is growing, where numerous migrants live in crowded camps and hope for a solution to their stay claims.

The Situation is tense in Tijuana because thousands of migrants gather in the city that are on their way to the USA. The "Benito Juarez" recording camp is overcrowded and new allocations to other camps are necessary to cope with the increasing number of incoming. Trump made it clear that no migrant could exceed the border before it was legally clarified, and threatened to close the southern border, this should be considered necessary. The dramatic situation is also burdened by the efforts of groups such as "Pueblo sin Fronteras" that come under pressure because they met and accompanied on their journey from Hondura's migrants.

While Mexico and the USA are still looking for a solution to the crisis situation, the future is uncertain for many migrants. Media reports on possible agreements were rejected by Mexican responsible people, which only reinforces the difficulties and uncertainties for the people concerned.
