Unaided Haitian Migrants Spend Christmas In Mexico City
Haitian migrants are gathering outside a crowded shelter in the Tlahuac Forest in Mexico City during Christmas, attempting to mobilize and carry out a procedure at the facilities of the Mexican Commission for Aid to Refugees. They are seeking to extend their stay in Mexico due to the challenges their compatriots face entering the United States. They are also waiting for a permit or ''Visitor Card for Humanitarian Reasons'' that would allow them to access health services and employment opportunities in Mexico, where they can receive care and continue their journey to the border.
