Mexico strengthens its southern border to prevent the passage of migrants from Central America
Tight control of the southern border of Mexico inhibits the flow of migrants from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador

PALENQUE, Mexico - Mexican federal forces have deployed along the desolate and dangerous migration routes that exist between the southeastern state of Tabasco and its border with Guatemala, now closed to all non-essential activities, forcing migrants to seek new paths through the fear of being caught.

“From here I send a message to my parents: Don't come, it's very hard!” Evelio Aguilar warns this Thursday, while traveling with three more Hondurans with the plan of settling in the northern state of Monterrey, where he has his wife.

Amanda Quip has been helping migrants for 25 years in Las Palmas, another border municipality, and thinks that the deployment of hundreds of troops from the National Migration Institute (INM) and the National Guard - among other institutions - forced migrants to search new ways.

“Now we treated six people and a few days ago eight. (The volume) dropped considerably and it could be that they have changed their route, ”said the woman.

At this point, in 2020, thousands were still arriving in boats from Naranjo, Guatemala, via the San Pedro River.

In La Esperanza, another town on the border, it is still possible to spot small groups of migrants, but not as often.

Raúl, a farmer from the area, comments that he has recently seen groups of up to 10 people crossing the border. They often come to his house to ask for water.

New routes
The region has experienced a powerful wave of immigration to the United States since the arrival of Democrat Joe Biden to the White House in late January, with his promise to carry out a more lax immigration policy.

US authorities detained 100,441 illegal immigrants in February, up from 78,442 in January.

Additionally, for the first time and after a year of pandemic, Mexico announced last week ground control for non-essential activities on its southern border, claiming that the spread of the coronavirus should be controlled.

And thousands of troops from different institutions have been deployed to control the arrival of migrants, after the arrest of 31,492 "irregular persons" so far this year.

In small cells, the migrants now take shortcuts and create their own routes through the jungle, pushed by the traffickers who are known there as "the bosses."

The ranches in the area are invaded by groups of Central Americans in a desperate attempt to evade the National Guard, the Army and the National Migration Institute (INM), who are waiting for them on the roads below.

More dangers

Men, women and minors hide during the day when the sweltering heat reaches a dangerous 38 degrees Celsius.

Afterwards, they resume their journey in the afternoon and at night, when the federal forces pause the operations, which have intensified especially since last Wednesday.

On their trip to Tenosique (Tabasco), for three days, the undocumented people rest under trees and drink water from wells.

William Orellano is a Honduran fleeing poverty in his country, accentuated by recent cyclones. “We still have to go to the mountains because it goes up and down (the Institute of) Migration. We have been resting and drinking water from wells ”, says William.

Those migrants who want to avoid the suffering of three days of savage martyrdom can travel by urban transport, but they will have to face the possibility of being arrested and the abuse of $ 1,500 pesos (about $ 71 dollars) for a trip of about 60 kilometers from El Ceibo to Tenosique. that for a Mexican inhabitant it has a cost of $ 45 Mexican pesos (about $ 2.15 dollars).

After a week on the road, at nightfall, the migrants take a shortcut on the new migratory route from the town of Chancala, a Zapatista area that leads to Palenque, in the neighboring state of Chiapas, apparently free of operations.

The ultimate goal of most migrants is to reach the United States, and thousands of them have managed to arrive in recent weeks at border points in northern Mexico such as Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, Matamoros or Reynosa.

Many today sleep in shelters on the brink of collapse or in the streets and towns of these cities, often with high rates of violence.

In fact, the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) of Mexico requested this Wednesday the authorities to grant "urgent" humanitarian assistance to some 240 migrants who remain stranded in the city of Reynoso, Tamaulipas.

While on Tuesday, the Mexican government and Washington - during a visit by Joe Biden's advisers to Mexico - agreed to seek an "orderly, safe and regular migration" amid a growing flow of Central Americans, political pressure in the United States and the claim Mexican for the CoVID-19 vaccine.
