The United States Department of Homeland Security announced an extraordinary measure that has caused a chain of migratory chaos and uncertainty. In agreement with Mexico, the US government will allow the legal entry of an initial contingent of 24,000 Venezuelans, hoping to reduce the growing flow of migrants of this nationality. In exchange, the Mexican authorities agree to expel those who do not adhere to this new process.
The determination of the Biden Government has taken by surprise more than 10,000 migrants who have been stranded for days in Necoclí, Antioquia. Most expected to travel to the border town of Acandí by sea, but tickets are sold out and the area has been seized by sudden overcrowding that threatens to overflow. The US ambassador to Colombia, Francisco Palmieri, has announced a visit to the site on Saturday, October 15, to analyze the situation
Despite the decision of the US Department of Homeland Security, a caravan of more than a thousand migrants from Venezuela left the southern border of Mexico this Friday with a view to reaching the United States. For many, there is no other alternative, since they do not have the means to return to their country and hope, with no hopeful signs on the horizon, that the situation will have changed when they reach the long-awaited border crossing.
