Políticas de México y EE. UU. empujan a migrantes a arriesgar cada vez más sus vidas

Estado de Chiapas, por donde acceden la mayoría de indocumentados, ‘se ha convertido en la tumba del migrante’, afirma líder de las caravanas.

YUMA, ARIZONA - DECEMBER 10: Immigrant families from Haiti walk from Mexico through a gap in the border wall into the United States on December 10, 2021 in Yuma, Arizona. They had made the arduous journey from Brazil and Chile in South America. Yuma has seen a surge of migrant crossings in the past week, with many immigrants trying to reach U.S. soil before the court-ordered re-implementation of the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy. The policy requires asylum seekers to stay in Mexico during their U.S. immigration court process.   John Moore/Getty Images/AFP

Ciudad de México. La muerte de 55 migrantes en México evidencia que las políticas de Estados Unidos y su vecino del sur para frenar la migración ilegal y combatir el tráfico de personas empujan a los indocumentados a tomar mayores riesgos, advierten especialistas.

El accidente de carretera en el que perecieron los migrantes ocurrió el jueves, tres días después de que Washington reinstauró —por orden judicial— un programa que obliga a los solicitantes de asilo a esperar respuesta a su trámite en México. Esa medida cierra aun más el acceso a Estados Unidos, e indirectamente conmina a México a contener el flujo migratorio a través de su territorio.
