Do Americans really want these kinds of people into our country?
Migrants clash with security agents at a provisional shelter in Piedras Negras, Mexico, on Feb. 13, 2019. |
About two dozen rioters attacked Mexican police on Wednesday after they broke through a security barrier at the shelter. They were throwing pipes, tables, and chairs at the officers.
This is the second riot to break out at the facility this week. The migrants said they are upset at policies, which bar them from leaving the shelter without a humanitarian visa approved by Mexico.
The migrants claim they just want to go into town to buy extra food, clothes and medical supplies when the shelter runs low.
“All we want to do is go into town on
foot to buy something, but no, they won’t even let us do that. People
have been waiting in line since 6:00 a.m. and nothing happens and its
provoking these clashes.” — Joel Sanchez, Honduran migrant
About 2,000 Central American migrants from the latest caravan are
living in the shelter while they wait to have their asylum applications
processed by the U.S.
