Up to 50 percent of migrants who pass through Puebla are caught by organized crime that extorts money,
uses them to traffic in persons and exploits them for work, denounced Father Gustavo Rodríguez Zárate,
in charge of receiving the caravans in churches of the capital.

In an interview, he explained that we know of large caravans that move through the south of the country,
but to the shelters in Puebla there are a small number of migrants who have reported on the houses in which the travelers are kept.

"They have told us that trailers await them in Esperanza, in Amozoc and those who we thought were going to the shelters
or who were going straight to Mexico City, no, they are captured in some houses in La Libertad, behind the Hidalgo, Soriana
and they put them to work, extort them and release them, "he explained.

Most of the houses, abound, are located in the municipality of Puebla,
but there are also in Tepeaca, Tecamachalco, Acajete, Amozoc, Serdán City (for the route of La Bestia) ( cross Mexico freight train )
and the municipalities that are passing migrants who come from the southern states.


The confirmation of these events occurred from the meetings of the priests of the southern states,
so that migrants are already alerted when they are received in the shelters once they enter the entities.

The pastor mentioned that so far no complaint has been filed because the church can not verify the sayings of the migrants
before the authorities and they do not interpose it because it would take them time to carry out the process
and what they want is to advance towards the United States.

Migrant Caravan is divided into groups in Huixtla, Chiapas

Announced for next week is expected the arrival of a caravan of at least 2 thousand people who will be received in the churches
as hostels, so he called on the people of Puebla not to criminalize migrants and collaborate
with food, water and clothing to serve those who seek the American dream.

Gustavo Zárate Rodríguez mentioned that of the 7,000 migrants that have been served in Puebla
due to the passage of the caravans, it is known that 4,000 were returned and did not manage to cross to the border,
therefore they seek to stay in several states of the country. (Mexico)
