TIJUANA, Baja California (GH)
For hundreds of Central American migrants after traveling thousands of kilometers in "La Bestia", arriving in Tijuana means a new life expectancy to be so close to its final destination, which is the United States.
On Tuesday, about 130 migrants arrived in the city, including 20 minors, from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras to the Youth 2000 shelter in the Northern Zone, where they were waiting for them with hot food and a place to sleep.
Mrs. Flor de María Hernández, originally from El Salvador, who traveled with her four minor children, said that she left her country due to the high rates of violence registered with the gangs.
"You can no longer live with confidence or have peace, because of problems with gangs, I have a teenaged son, which, I had to take out of school for the same problems with young gang members, there is a lot of violence, the government no longer has dominion over them, "he said.
She added that they can not even go to another colony because the gang members attack them because they are from another place even if they go with their parents.
For this reason, she is confident that God will touch the heart of President Donald Trump, allowing them to be granted asylum.
"We have heard that he has said that he does not want anyone coming from the caravan, that he does not want women or children and I say we deserve an opportunity to ask for asylum in that country, we are hard-working people, humble and we need an opportunity", he said.
For her part, the situation for which her country leaves Mrs. Irma Rivera, coming from Honduras, is also related to violence, since people are often murdered and crimes are not resolved.
So she decided to leave everything behind and look for a better place to live for her and her two children of 6 and 4 years old.
And despite the negative comments they have heard from Trump, they hope they can cross the border.
While Mrs. Guadalupe, also from El Salvador, said she was aware of Trump's negative comments towards migrants, so if she does not grant them asylum, she plans to stay in Mexico with her family of seven people.
They flee from the Mara
Byron, a 15-year-old native of Honduras who travels with his mother and two older sisters, said the situation in his country was unbearable, especially because of the violence generated by the Mara Salvatrucha.
"I did not feel safe, every time they killed people, almost daily ...", he declared.
So now that he arrived in Tijuana he is looking to cross the border and continue with his studies in order to work, so he is confident that with the help of God he will be able to cross the border.
The director of Youth 2000, José María García Lara said that the shelter is able to serve the hundreds of migrants who arrived yesterday.
They do not know when they will try to approach the border booth, so they must first organize among themselves.
There is still a larger group of migrants of around 400 people who come on the train so they are ready and ready to receive them in at least 10 hostels in the municipality, some more retired than others but with open arms to receive them.
He acknowledged that there is little likelihood of receiving them in the United States, however, they are determined to intern it as they seek a better quality of life.
Garcia Lara said that so far the three levels of government have not supported them with any economic resources, only in kind as mats, food or medical attention.
They require help
The cost per person only per food is 100 pesos minimum, plus the costs of water, electricity, shoes, clothes, etc.
