More than 2,000 Central American migrants on Saturday surged onto a bridge spanning the Suchiate River between southern Mexico and Guatemala as Mexican National Guardsmen attempted to impede their journey north.
Mexico’s offer of legal status and potential employment for migrants carries a stipulation that would confine migrants to southern Mexico, where wages are lower and there are fewer jobs than elsewhere in the country.
Once there, in theory, the migrants may request temporary work permits to remain in Mexico. For months, however, non-profit organizations and migrants have complained that the migrants are instead often returned to their countries of origin.“We are going to walk all the way up,” said Salvadoran Jazmín González, 23, while clutching a small girl.
Honduran Lourdes Geraldina Jiménez also decided to trust in the assurances of Mexican authorities as she entered Mexico with a son and another family member.“I can’t return to Honduras,” she said, walking next to her son.
