According to the OIM director, continued efforts are centered on assisting adults in finding employment and getting kids enrolled in schools.
These immigrants are now looking for secure employment for themselves and a Latino school that will enroll their children, including several families with young children.
According to the International Organization for Migration ( IOM) director in Juarez, Mexico, that is true.
” We are seeing a lot of interest from people looking for ( lawful ) stays and integration to Mexico. According to Iliana Martell, head of the IOM company in Juarez,” a lot of people are looking for an education for their children, on having a proper work in Mexico.”
Martell did not disclose the number of city-wide workers. Numerous church-run house operators claim that the majority of their guests have left, and that the Center for Migrant Assistance in Juarez’s officials last week disclosed to local media that they are generally serving immigrants from the Mexican land.
However, Mexico still has a sizable population of people from Latin American and Atlantic nations, according to IOM.
According to Martell,” seventy-two percent of ( migrants ) interviewed by us in Mexico say they want to stay in Mexico but don’t want to go back to their countries of origin.”
The main obstacles to a legal long-term remain in Mexico are income and the lack of paperwork needed to obtain a work force or enroll their children in school. Refugees need stable job.
Judicial service fairs are being organized by the United Nations partner organization throughout Mexico, including one in Juarez over the weekend.
IOM secured place in a building in the Juarez Pronaf region to allow El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemalan consulate staff as well as Brazilian and Haitian embassies representatives to speak with their citizens. After losing the classics during the lengthy border crossing or having them stolen by thieves, some people filled out forms to obtain a new card or national identification cards.
Workers like William Gutierrez de la Cruz claim to have spent the last four weeks attempting to live day-to-day after arriving in Juarez on January 20 ( the time President Donald Trump became president ) and finding the frontier closed to asylum seekers.
The San Miguel Pochuta, Guatemala local, claimed that because of lack of money, he’s sometimes had to go to sleep on the streets and wants a full-time career.
He claimed that the entry into the United States is unlawful because it affects person’s interests. We traveled north with the intention of traveling there, but President Trump’s position prevented that. So we’re trying to get permits and a passport to operate legally in Mexico, here in Juarez, with the consulates around.
Gutierrez stated that he is not returning to Guatemala. His nation still experiences gang-related violence, low wages, and continual drought in small-scale farming.
He also hopes that eventually the US government will grant him shelter, and that many people who like him will be able to enter the country via the border. In the interim, he said,” We are going to try to stay here and work honestly like all the Mexicans, working in factories or wherever they give us.”
