Hoping To Be ‘Regularized’
Cubans occupy second place in refugee requests at the beginning of the year with 2,352 requests, only below the 3,213 from Honduras
HAVANA TIMES – Tens of thousands of Cubans remain stranded on the southern border of Mexico without receiving a response about their immigration procedures, stated the Center for Human Dignity (CDH), which defends migrants. Tapachula, on the border of Mexico with Guatemala, has become a “great funnel” and a “bottleneck” for these migrants because they do not have the possibility of adjusting their status, said attorney José Luis Pérez, a specialist in migration and vulnerable groups, on Wednesday.
“There’s no point in having the office of the Mexican Commission for Aid to Refugees (Comar) in Tapachula if foreigners aren’t able to adjust their status,” said the advocate, who has accompanied migrants in the procedures.
