The National Immigration Institute expects a 10% increase in the flow of South American migrants seeking to conquer the American dream by crossing the Sonora border to the United States, said Juan Manuel Hurtado Monreal.

The INM delegate in Sonora admitted that in the last years there has been a rise in the crossing during the last months of the year and although it has not yet recovered and is maintained in about 100 migrants per month, that number is expected to increase, though not significantly.

"We are estimating if a 5-10% no more," he said to comment that in the months of lower heat, the rise is recorded, but then stabilized by the cooler weather in the regions of Sonoyta and El Sásabe.

He emphasized that many of the migrants evade the animals or insects, etc. like vipers or coyotes.
Hurtado Monreal recalled that binational travels with their counterparts across the border are maintained and have found signs of where people cross and assistance, which helps them to obtain resources from the Merida Initiative program.

"Throughout the year material is being given to Sonora from cars, to binoculars of the Mérida Initiative," he said, adding that Mexican or undocumented migrants, with ladders, to jump the fence, saws or tools,to cut though, but they are placed again and when the passing location does not appear to be damaged.

New Day / Nogales, Sonora
Yesterday morning, a group of more than 30 Central American migrants arrived in the city after a long trip aboard freight trains from Chiapas to Nogales, in more than a month of time, with the intention of entering the United States ; the group was located to the south of the city requesting help to feed and to continue its way.

Dozens of young people from Honduras and El Salvador, mainly, were caught on a crossing requesting charity from motorists to purchase food; dozens of citizens responded to the call by taking them, water and food.

The young people, according to his words, had more than a month since they left their native country, approaching "La Bestia", as the freighter train is known in Tapachula, Chiapas, to arrive weeks later at the Nogales border.

The journey of thousands of Central Americans is incredible, taking their chances with gangs, and the Mexican Migra, as they know it, all the way, among other dangers.

In their statements they detailed the death of a companion who lost his balance when it mounted the train in Sinaloa.

The young people were also assisted by the Red Cross hours later in a program of humanitarian support and localization of family members, at least eleven of them chatting with relatives.

But the youth odyssey is not yet over, they will now face an even greater challenge: the desert and the security of the United States, all for trying to get the so-called "American dream," which often turns into a nightmare.
