The number of migrants who want to go to the US from Mexico is increasing. In view of the crowds, the Mexican government has sent numerous security forces to the country’s southern border.
Hundreds of soldiers, police officers and employees of the migration and health authorities came to the Mexican city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez near the border with Guatemala on Friday . You should check travel documents at various points in the border area in the state of Chiapas and carry out health checks, as the national migration institute INM announced.
According to the Mexican authorities, three trucks carrying 329 migrants from Central America were discovered on a highway south of Tuxtla Gutierrez on Thursday . 114 of them were unaccompanied minors. They were taken to emergency shelters.
The aim of the increased border use is to better protect such underage migrants, it said. Because they would become victims of human traffickers. Members of criminal networks pretend to be the companions of children in order to make it easier to get to Mexico and the USA . Since the beginning of the year, more than 4,000 minors have entered Mexico illegally.
