It’s progress of a sort. From Fox News,
Cuban-led caravan aims for Mexico City as Trump policies deter migrants from US.
Details,
A 1,200-person caravan of largely Cuban migrants is heading north from Mexico’s southern city of Tapachula in a weeks-long pursuit of better economic opportunities. But the destination is not the U.S. border, it’s Mexico City.
The destination of the caravan signals a stark shift in regional immigration trends as President Donald Trump’s strict immigration policies take hold.
Winning?
Despite concerns over financial abuse in attempting to relocate in Mexico, the Spain-based outlet [El Pais] reported that many migrants still consider staying there preferable to heading to the U.S. under Trump.
This is closer to how “asylum” laws are supposes to work. You are meant to seek refuge in the first safe country you enter, not in the preferred final destination.
The message seems to be getting out.
“Why would I want to go to the United States? They hate us there,” one Cuban woman traveling with her two-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son told the news outlet.
What a difference a year makes.
