Do you know how much it would cost to fly or sail from Africa to Latin America? Yet these are supposedly poverty-stricken migrants, who will invariably apply for social programs the minute they reach America, and become refugees.
How did 6,000 African Migrants End UP on our Southern Border?
The number of migrants from African countries in Mexico who have had contact with Mexican immigration officials has increased from 460 in 2007 to more than 5,800 in 2019 The number of African migrants heading to the U.S. through Mexico has more than doubled this year — from roughly 2,700 in 2018 to 5,800 today, according to data from the federal government.That figure has been steadily rising since 2007 — the year the Mexican government began including migrants from African countries who have contact with immigration officials in their annual migration reports — when the number was 460.
African migrants face additional obstacles in terms of language and cultural barriers. They also have less access to services from legal aid organizations who do not have staff who speak the same language as the migrants.
They also face racism and discrimination because of the color of their skin. A lot of them are getting robbed, beat up and mistreated. Despite this obstacle, African migrants continue to arrive at the Mexico-Guatemala border every day and there is no sign that the flow will slow down.
